Errors when trying to fix FGLRX

[bronxbomberz41]

A few weeks ago either after the upgrade to 10.04 or on a subsequent system update I have been having problems. I have not been able to use Compiz Desktop Effects and playing videos in full screen is awful slow and choppy. I have tried numerous things to try and fix this and now at this point whenever i try anything through the terminal I get the following error.

Thanks but it doesn't look like its working. I tried it and its timing out. Here is what I was inputting in case i did anything wrong, along with the output in the terminal.

I also tried to manually add the ppa via the software sources and I got the following error (screenshot because for some reason it wouldn't let me copy the text)

My update manager and synaptic are not working properly and I can't perform updates through the terminal anymore. I'm kinda stuck here if anyone can help. Don't want to have to do a fresh re-install (which I've had to do pretty much every time I upgrade to the latest distro through the upgrade channels)
