Software and updates not launching on Ubuntu 18.04.1 lts

I recently put Ubuntu on my brand new PC, however, I can't install via download from Firefox, and the Software and Updates program doesn't launch, it just shows an error message. Can someone help? Thanks in advance!

What's the error? Are you actually connected to the internet?

 

Open Terminal then do

 

Sudo apt update && apt upgrade

there is a bug with the software updater. Command line update really comes in handy
