A couple of things 1. The title needs to give some clue of what the question is. You need to fix the title. 2. E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-http_archive_ubuntu_com_ubuntu_kinetic- This entry from the sources list needs to be removed. You say your are using 22.04 but kinetic is 22.10. Mixed entries will as you have experienced cause problems.

The directory `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` is empty on a new install, meaning someone with `sudo` 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.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
