[SOLVED] Linux Lite 2.2 updates going to gaming site - william_st_ia - 03-23-2015

Hi All,
Has any one else had problems trying to do updates after installing Linux Lite 2.2?
Every time I try to run an update either through Menu->Favorites->Install updates or open a terminal window and do a sudo apt-get update it points to the site http://repo.steampowered.com.
Why would updates for the Linux OS be coming from a gaming site?

Hi,

because there's a Steam repository in Linux Lite. It looks for a steam-launcher updates.
You can uninstall Steam and delete the repo by typing Software & Updates in Whisker menu, then choose Other Software tab, and delete the steampowered repo.

UnLimity,

I am unable to use the Whisker Menu as we can not update packages while the http://repo.steampowered.com is on the computer as pre our system policies all gaming sites are blocked.
I can not even get into add or remove software till this is removed.
We did not have this problem with Linux Lite 1.08, so need a good solution to get around this or we can't update to latest Linux Lite 2.2.
These are being used for business type purposes so gaming is not enabled on them.

I'm not sure if I understand, but how about removing this repo via terminal? I don't know the command though, I'm still a beginner with GNU/Linux system, but I'm sure someone else will help you out.

But maybe you can do "sudo add-apt-repository --remove http://repo.steampowered.com"
Or install ppa-purge and do "sudo ppa-purge http://repo.steampowered.com"

Not sure if this works on non-PPA though.

Or there's some sources.list in /etc/apt/

Disable the steam repositories.

Code:
software-properties-gtk --open-tab=1

When a window opens untick both of steam repositories.
It will ask you for a password.

You may want to remove the repository through synaptic/ "Install/Remove Software" open a terminal and enter:

Code:
sudo synaptic

It will ask for the password. After it opens you click on "Setting->Repositories" then click the "Other Software" tab and untick the repositories you want removed and click close. It should then ask if you want to "reload" the package information. Reload the package info and you should be good to go.
