My software manager does not work after upgrading to 19.3 all I get is the generating cache and rotating circle

I tried the terminal and this will not connect either

barry@barry-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$ sudo apt upgrade

Any ideas what has happened my internet works OK and I am sending this with Firefox?

I know nothing about Mint, but the error message seems pretty explicit:
i.e. Edit that file and remove the ">" before "deb-src" on line 2.

Says I have no permission to edit as it is read only.

Thanks

you need to do it as root

I can get to root in a terminal but do not know how to get a root files up I did it once but does not seem to work anymore
