Press this keyboard key combination: Ctrl + Alt + T
When the terminal window opens type in:
Then press Enter. When you get asked for a password type it in.
When you type the password no output will be displayed on the screen.
People usualy expect password asterisks while they are typing passwords ********** this feature is disabled by default in Linux.
Just type it in and press Enter.
This will start to download package information lists.
That will be a good start to diagnose what went wrong.
You will get something like "E: error while..." and "W: warning..."
Paste that information here.

Ah ok, run this
Disable the PPA that is causing problems.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ingalex/super-b...6/Packages
Just Untick and enter the password when asked.
And if I have to I click on that last button on the right on the WYSIWYG editor. The one with an arrow. [^]

This error indicates a faulty source.
Type sudo apt-get update in terminal, and you will find the faulty source near the end.
Then enter this into terminal: /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=1
And disable the faulty source.
In my case, the faulty source was google (which was added via chromium)
In summary the error is basically saying, "Hey you Admin, I can't guarantee your system will be up to date due to a faulty source. Please investigate and resolve the problem."
You see, that's a much better error message, and they should implement it except that they would have to add the word "probably".
