I was adding break points on and it worked, then I went into the
project options and changed a few things like target platform to Linux
and stuff then it shows the red line when you add it but when I run it
that line goes to green and does not stop there anymore, I have no
idea what I did and what green means. pictures added to try and help
you figure it out for me.
thanks

you have probably turned off the generation of debug information on
project options\debugging page.

Check: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Debugger_Setup

I noted smartlinking being on. That may cause issues with debugging.
depends on the linker

The breakpoint is disabled, as the debugger was unable to set it.
Also the absence of the blue dots means either:
- the line info (or even more debug info) is missing
- The procedure was not included in the exe (smart linker took it out)
- procedure is in-lined / can not be debugged

Also:
external dbg info should work, but receives little testing. Try do
disable the 2 options:
- use external debug info
- strip debug info from exe

Which linux are you using? QT or GTK.

The line numbers should not look like this, there should be no light
grey lines between numbers.

GTK -- its working again thanks -- I think it was what you said about
the uncheck them 2 suggestions because I just did the ole' when you
have no idea how to fix it just un-install it then wipe everything
that has to do with it out then start over by re-installing it again
