I am unable to open or edit my software sources

  • 772

I want to change my software sources because I don't want to update my Ubuntu from other software sources. I tried to change it from Unity dock: I typed software source and a icon appeared but when I clicked nothing happened.

And then I tried it from Update manager: I clicked on edit->source but nothing happened.

I am still able to download and install updates as well as software from Ubuntu Software Center
