Hi Josh,

It looks like it can't find the package python-software-properties.

Could you try this: replace /etc/apt/sources.list (after backing it
up) with the following

This is the stock Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit/64-bit sources.

After you replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the above, do an

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

and let us know the result.

Regards,... Fred

Josh

Thanks Fred,

This fixed the issue.

I noticed after reading my original post that the wrong url was in my
sources.list from when I was testing some things out. It made me
wonder why the original url from the instructions wasn't still in
there.
I then realized that I forgot the "-a" while adding the repository
url's using the "echo" command (In step 1 of the ubuntu instructions).

So it ending up wiping my sources.list, rather than appending the url.

Thank you for the help. Hopefully this will help someone else out in
the future.
