All the drivers and managers are blocked (I think). It happened when I tried to add Wine to Linux Mint 19. When I attempt to open any managers they show:

E:Malformed entry 1 in list file/etc/qpt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list,E:The list of sources could not be read.


Now in addition to the above is shows:
** (xed:11942): WARNING **: 15:31:29.899: The specified location is not mounted

Please paste the output from:

You could open the file referenced in the error message and inspect its contents for errors.

computers don't like typos.


how did you get there?

Thanks. What a mess.

To start off with, I have to advise you to be very careful when typing commands in to the terminal - you have to ensure that you type in exactly what is written. The best way of achieving this is to copy the text from your browser using ctrl-c and then paste it into the terminal window with shift-ctrl-v.

For example, I asked you to enter inxi -r, but you ran sudo inxi -r. There is no need to run the former command now, because I have the information I need.

Anyway, it appears that your additional repositories file may be full of garbage.

So, please enter the following commands:

Reason: Can't get it to copy and paste from terminal now! I did copy and paste from this forum but now it will not reverse it! Sorry. I did shift control c and then control v to this post but it didn't work.
