Hi there!

Just came back to Linux (long story why I left) and I am running into some issues. I don't have much of a grasp on the terminal, or much of anything with what seems to be advanced computing, but I can follow specific directions fairly well. :grin:

Using Gnome 3 desktop on Ubuntu 12.04

Not sure exactly when my issue came about, but I think it may have been when I was trying to install Adobe Acrobat (for school stuff related to the long story as to why I was relegated to Win 7). I know for sure that I didn't get it installed and that I now cannot update or open Software center. I, of course, searched out information and saw that other users had the same issue with different lines in their source lists. But I couldn't get a handle on how to identify, fix, or remove the problem. I'm not a dolt, but I really do need simple directions with these things. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Here is the source list:

Code:
