Malformed entry 14

[blindobi]

So when I do

sudp apt update

I get the following.

E: Malformed entry 14 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list  (Suite)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

I'm guessing this is a specific kind of problem-related to Entry 14. I've found a lot of other entry numbers but none are the same. I'm not sure where to go for help on these things.

G'day @blindobi and welcome to linux.org

1. Which Linux Distribution are you using, down to version and desktop, eg Linux Mint 19.1 MATE?

2. Can you go to Terminal (if on Ubuntu or Mint, shortcut is Ctrl-Alt-t) and enter

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

and relay the output to here?

Cheers

Hey thanks for getting back to me so quick.
Ubuntu 18.04.2 lts (gnu/Linux 4.15.0-1033-raspi12 armv71)

I think the problem might be that mega.co.nz

Likely

# now add the repo line to the /etc/apt/sources.list
deb https://mega.co.nz/linux/MEGAsync/xUbuntu_16.04/

After MEGAsync/ the xUbuntu looks strange, usually xubuntu.

But you are on 18.04. That site does not have anything more recent than 17.10 so they are over 12 months out-of-date.

I would delete the two lines, save the file and reboot and see how you go.
