software sources - I cannot enable canonical partner and independent, why?


On Software and Updates under Other Software tab, I want to enable Canonical Partner and Independent, after I clicked the checkbox and input my password, the checkbox stay unchecked no matter how many times I try to click it, why?
I'm on Raring.



Try this. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:


sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main"
sudo apt-get update

Then go back to Software and Updates, and check to see if its OK


Note: in the second command replace raring with your Ubuntu version.
