Control-X should exit nano and give you a chance to save the file. Check at the bottom of the opened nano window or in the console for this option, and others.

You must have root privileges to save sources.list file. Execute su - command to gain root privileges first.
Edit file and press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file.Code:su - nano /etc/apt/sources.list
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
