Java, installation problem or issue of the noob?

  • 772

Hi guys I have tried in recent days to install, obviously everything from termianl, the jdk for Java with no success. Later I tried to install WinUSB and everything went ok. Today panic, I'm going to install AWN and I find errors even when I type sudo apt-get update I solved these errors, but every time I try to install any application, terminal gives me errors like this. Down here is the complete code with that mistakes, maybe it happened to any of you, or know how to help me. The big problem is that I can't install anything else because I always have this error. Thank you in advice for your attention and for your help!

I write sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

I need java for use Netbeans

    For whatever reason the main repository is missing or your package information was deleted or never updated. Execute the following commands:

    sudo apt-add-repository main
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
