Failed to download repository information for UM 24.04

Hi @fixit7,

The following PPA's do not support Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and are (part of) the reason that you get those update-manager errors, you really want to remove them.

UNetbootin -> gezakovacs-ubuntu-ppa-noble.sources
Ubuntu Tweak -> tualatrix-ubuntu-ppa-noble.sources

By the way, you also don't need pj-assis-ubuntu-ppa-noble.sources because guvcview is nowadays in the standard repositories, so this is another one that can be removed.

Info about how to remove a PPA:

Ubuntu Tweak is dead, see this link:
software installation - How do I install Ubuntu-Tweak? - Ask Ubuntu

UNetbootin can only be downloaded from their site.
Use this link if needed and download the 64-bit version.
UNetbootin - Linux Downloads
then open the directory where you downloaded this and make the downloaded file executable. It should be a file named like this: unetbootin-linux64-702.bin

Run it from a terminal with:

QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 ./unetbootin-linux64-702.bin "rootcheck=no"

or create a .desktop file for it

Thanks tkn. I deleted 2 of the 3 PPAs that you recommended to be removed.

While refreshing the cache, I got this message.

I rarely use wine, so if uninstalling it would be easier that fixing the cause of the message, I could go that route.

We are good.

Now I am off to an android forum to find out if I can stop the very annoying popups that popup 15 + times a day. (games, etc.)

Yes, do that. That is the easiest option for now.
You can always add one of the wine repositories again in case you need it.

Good luck with the Android :slight_smile:
