So when I do
Code:
sudp apt update
I get the following.

Code:
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

Code:
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)
Code:
deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

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

Code:
# 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 That site does not have anything more recent than 17.10 so they are over 12 months out-of-date.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.
