I assume the wrong lines are these:
deb https:/
deb-src https:/
they should probably be
deb https:/
deb-src https:/
(with a space preceding the word xenial).
But if you are running Ubuntu bionic, then in addition to adding the space character, the word "xenial" in these lines should be replaced by "bionic"

Manfred - Thank you. Your edits have fixed the issue. Also, you are
correct, I am running Ubuntu bionic. Are there any other lines that I need
to change 'xenial' to 'bionic'?

No, the issue is corrected. Just wondering if all lines with 'xenial'
should be changed to 'bionic'?

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
| Christian (chrixthegamer) said : | #5 |
when I run the command to get update I get an error:
E: Malformed entry 21 in list file /etc/apt/
E: The list of sources could not be read.
I already tried deleting the source throught software & updates and tried sudo nano /etc/apt/
