Bug Description

I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04 (so complete novice) and want to add the medibuntu respository. I went to
system / admininstration and provided my password to open software sources / third-party software. I select Add and get the input box "Enter the complete APT line of the repository that you want to add as source". On the APT line input I did a copy/paste of the address line as indicated in Ubuntu documentation but the "Add Source" button stays grey and inactive. I have tried varies way of providing the APT line input but the button stays inactive. I then tried /etc/apt/sources.list on the command line and got the response: Permission denied.
According to system / administration / users and groups my profile has all user privileges checked including "Administer the system". I am the only user defined besides root.

Following a quick and painless installation I have spent almost an entire day researching this problem but don't find answers in the Ubuntu documentation. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help...

→ Please copy the address line here -- maybe you just copied/found wrong one...
