I get the following error:
Could not initialize the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: E:Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse), E:The list of sources could not be read., E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
I know that the problem is the line 56 in source list, but I did all that says in "How do I remove a malformed line from my sources.list?" because it's a '[duplicate]' of my first question, but the problem remains even with each proposed solution, what else can I do?
When I type in the Terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
I get:

Obviously I must say that I'm new on this, so I will appreciate your help.
And thanks to -Eliah Kagan- to teach me how to put the 'sources.list' it was exactly what I wanted to do in first place but I didn't know how to do it, Thanks a lot.
sources.list
file. So, please open it up in a text editor, copy its contents to the clipboard, edit your question, paste it in, format it with the<$>
tool (so it appears correctly) and submit your edit.
