    By posting a picture of text, you make it impossible for potential helpers on phones, or text terminals. to see your text. You make it impossible for any of us to make a local copy for investigation. Rather, [Edit] your Question, copy and paste the text into your Question, select it and use the `{}` formatting tool. – waltinator Apr 17 '21 at 22:03
  • I would have helped if you mentioned what file or file syntax you are asking about: It's about /etc/apt/sources.list. Also, why didn't you just paste the text of that file in your question? And what was the exact error message, and from what program / when you entered which command? What makes you so sure it's that /etc/apt/sources.list that contains an error? – HuHa Apr 17 '21 at 23:15
  • Start `Synaptic` and click the **Reload** button. Show me a screenshot of the errors that appear... or, better yet... copy/paste the list of errors into your question... then I can help you. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I'll miss them. – heynnema Apr 17 '21 at 23:50
  • Also, `cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d` and then `grep -i cmatrix *.list` and for the filename that shows up, then do `cat filename` and copy/paste that output into your question. – heynnema Apr 17 '21 at 23:53
  • You should be able to install cmatrix with `sudo apt update` and `sudo apt install cmatrix`. – heynnema Apr 17 '21 at 23:57

    Please post full text output of `sudo apt-get update` to the question or pastebin. – N0rbert Apr 18 '21 at 09:48
