Thanks a lot.
After editing the sources list and reducing to one line, update and installation worked without problem.

Not sure how you typed this part into terminal but it should be one line
Code: [Select]
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
To check the sources list:
Code: [Select]
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
The only line in the signal-xenial.list file should be
Code: [Select]
deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main
You may need to edit the line, then control-x , y, and enter to save any edits.
Then try:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop

Hi,
I tried to install Signal's desktop version on Lite 3.8 with following commands:

curl -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop

Following error occurs:
E:Type 'sudo' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
E:The list of sources could not be read.

Same error for Linux Lite updates when it tries to fetch the package cache information lists...

What can I do?
Thanks for help
