can you post the first line?
Can you please solve my problem? I will be grateful. I am not fluent in English. Excuse me, if I do not write correctly, I am Iranian.
I am in a hurry. Can you answer me as soon as possible? I only migrated from Windows to Ubuntu a month ago.
Please run the terminal command:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/AdobeConnect.list
Copy the output of that command to the clipboard, paste it into a post here, select the post text you just pasted, and click the little </> icon above the post editor panel.
This will help us figure out what's the problem.
Hi there,
Here is a similar problem, I guess.
I can't figure out the problem and, of course, how to solve it. I 'll be very grateful at the one who can help me. Thanks!
Geez. Is it true that there is a boatload of newlines and apt-get and echo commands in that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list file?
If so, open the file in a text editor, like this:
sudo pluma /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
Delete everything, everything from that file except for the first two lines, the ones that read # deb [...] and deb [...]. Then save the file, close the text editor, and try another sudo apt-get update.
Here's a link how to install Signal Messenger on Linux Mint (similar to Ubuntu Mate).

Thanks, guys! I'm new to ubuntu and I can't believe how fast I got valuable answers. Amazing!
I'm still in trouble though. I can't open pluma.
Should I try another editor?
Oh! I'll bet you're using stock Ubuntu, and not Ubuntu MATE, is that correct?
If so, replace pluma with gedit.
Indeed! Sorry, I didn't give any details.
It worked perfectly, thank you so much!

Hi all. I tried installing Photoshop on UBUNTU and am now getting this error every time I try installing anything....I transfered from Win10 to Ubuntu like a month ago and really dunno what i'm doing , eh All help is very much welcomed, thanks.
Well, what does your /etc/apt/sources.list file say?
Open the aforementioned file in a text editor, select everything in the file (Ctrl-A), copy the selected text, paste the text in a post here, then most importantly select the text in this post and click the </> button above.
Only once we see that information can we even have a chance of helping you out.

First of all, the rest of your sources.list file refers to Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal Fossa", and I think you even said above that you were using Ubuntu 20.04. So for starters, you shouldn't even have those last four lines in your file anyway, since they refer to Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" (I think that was the codename). So the solution is to get rid of the last four lines.
But let me show you the exact problem that APT was complaining about, so that this can be prevented in the future: The last two lines are a duplicate of the previous two lines, except the fourth-from-last line (line 60, the one that APT complains about) is missing a space in a crucial position. Let me show you (annotations added by me):
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/eoan main
^^
There should be
a space between
the slash and
the letter "e".
Of course, you don't need any of the last four lines, so delete them and be on your merry way.
I hope that helped. I hope that resolves your problem. (I know. Computers can be very picky about the exact input you feed to them, huh?)

Thanks so much Gordon. I need to open that file in a html editor then, not just a browser, in order to change, delete the lines? Or, how would You open it, in what?
Edit: Opened and changed with VSC . Thanks again brother, now I can install again.
In the future, you can open that file up in a plain text editor. Text editors include nano (a command-line-based text editor with a very small learning curve) and Pluma (the MATE text editor). Both editors should be installed by default. In the future, to open the file in Pluma, you can use the command:
sudo pluma /etc/apt/sources.list
