Hello most helpful humans. I have read endless other threads on this subject, and typed a myriad of commands in terminal, but have caused myself more trouble than benefit it seems.
The problem is Plex, and its ability to find my external drive. Or that was the problem. Now the problem is that I can't seem to update or install anything.
Full error message is:
E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver
Please could somebody help me sort this out? I'm afraid I'm not much clued up on how to use Ubuntu properly - my usual approach when problems arise is to search online and copy code/follow instructions that someone else has written, which usually does whatever trick I'm hoping it will. I don't care at this point if I get Plex working (though it would be an added bonus for sure), but being able to update the computer again would be nice.
I realise it would be more helpful if this post had more information, but I'm afraid I need help knowing what to type in to get such information!
Thank you in advance for any help.

I have read the malformed line thread, but I find it really hard to understand a lot of the time. Not sure if it pertains to my issue or not. Sorry.

. The.list
extension is left off by theapt
error message, which confuses things..list
file are plain commands that you should have executed, not put into the.list
file.
