I somehow lost /etc/sources.list I'm tired of googling it all day. Please help me :(

And it is giving me this warning.

WARNING:root:could not open file '/etc/apt/sources.list'

The program 'screenfetch' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt install screenfetch
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'

I asked something similar on G+ some time ago. Cannot give you the answer directly because I'm not allowed to post more than 2 links:

https://plus.google.com/100718986567621730640/posts/Pgh3YhkWErW

EDIT

with more reputation now, the full answer:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elementary.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu xenial main

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/patches.list        
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/os-patches/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/os-patches/ubuntu xenial main

  • Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

  • The problem was that the sources.list contains a lot of links and I didn't have the reputation to add more than 2 in one post. So I decided to give a suboptimal answer, than none.

  • Oh, I understand. No problem. Just remember to update your answer once you have the rep.
