E:Malformed line 64 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) Help Please

Hi,
New to the World of Linux and have a little issue with the update notification.

After doing a Google search, and finding this seems to be common, and the majority of the searches brought me here, I have made my new account and hoping that someone may be able to point me in the direction I need to fix this.

I receive this error:
E:Malformed line 64 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)

I'm using Xubuntu 12.04.1 Lts

Code:
Code:
# deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120817.3)]/ dists/precise/main/binary-i386/

# deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120817.3)]/ dists/precise/multiverse/binary-i386/
# deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120817.3)]/ dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/
# deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120817.3)]/ dists/precise/universe/binary-i386/
# deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120817.3)]/ precise main multiverse restricted universe

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository.

deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner
deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner
deb Index of / lucid partner
deb-src Index of / lucid partner
I'm not sure what to look for as an error that would be giving me the trouble.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Delete the last two lines, they are malformed and for the wrong version of your distribution.
