can you advise
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/
is empty on a new install, meaning someone withsudo
privileges has added the file/etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-http_archive_ubuntu_com_ubuntu_kinetic-jammy.list
which has a 'malformed entry' (ie. error) on line 1.. A error causes file processing to stop; so there maybe more errors beyond line 1 (entry 1 in the message). We can't view what's in that file; for us to help - you need to provide what's in it.. but the problem is on line 1 of the added file. That was from a single line in your paste. – guiverc Apr 09 '23 at 08:28
