It looks like you have tried to open etc folder which command line thought it is located in home (~). Use absolute path with /, i.e. /etc/apt/sources.list. Or go to / usingcd /and thenetc/apt/sources.list

To edit the sources.list file open the terminal and type:
sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Note that I used sudoedit to edit sources.list in the default terminal editor instead of gedit, because you shouldn't use normal sudo to start graphical applications as root. The correct path to sources.list is /etc/apt/sources.list not etc/apt/sources.list
The instructions for using the default nano text editor are always found at the bottom of every page. The only two nano keyboard shortcuts that you need to know are for WriteOut and Exit. Press the keyboard combination Ctrl+O and after that press Enter to save the file being edited. Press the keyboard combination Ctrl+X to exit nano.
