Seems you've added a PPA from noobslab, remove it. That's what's causing your problem.

If you know what application is using that PPA, then i would uninstall it and the PPA first, then try an update.
 After that, install the PPA from noobslab directly.  http://www.noobslab.com/ (http://www.noobslab.com/)    http://www.noobslab.com/p/ppa.html (http://www.noobslab.com/p/ppa.html)

 Then install apps/programs from noobs website or command line.
Be very careful adding PPA's from unknown locations.
