Can't install Java on Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 LTS

So when I go to paste in:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/java

It says:

N: Ignorerar filen ”linuxuprising-” i katalogen ”/etc/apt/sources.list.d/” eftersom den inte har en filändelse

It's in Swedish but it basically ignores a file because it hasn't got a file ending. After this, I get a bunch of warnings telling me some packages are configured multiple times. No matter what I type it's always ignoring a file from linuxuprising. What do I do?

The content of linuxuprising-java.list is deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/linuxuprising/java/ubuntu focal main. This normal?

Complete Error message:

I tried doing

sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk.

That should remove unneeded packages, update the internal list of packages, and install OpenJDK. But when I try these none of them work, not even the apt-get update. Here is the error I get:

filip@filip:~$ sudo apt autoremove
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxuprising.list (Suite)
E: The list of sources could not be read.,
E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxuprising.list (Suite)

The error looks a little different now after I added a file extension to the linuxuprising directory.

Based on the results, I'd venture that you will need to edit your `linuxuprising-java.list` file to comment out (or remove) the duplicates. Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

Why aren't you just using the `openjdk-[version]-[jre/jdk]` packages? What are you trying to do with a PPA?

I tried using the links karel and guiverc provided but it says that the file or directory doesn't exist when I paste in the command.

I'd be real careful adding off the wall repo's...Esp. with the log4j exploit. Follow @cocomac 's advice!

@cocomac I've tried basically every command I can get my hands on. At last, I got Java 17 installed but the invalid file extension error remains.

Try these commands: `sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk`. That remove un-needed packages, updates the internal list of packages, and installs OpenJDK. [edit] your question to include what happens then

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
