Open System > Administration > Software Sources > Other Software and un-tick those PPA sources as they don't seem to be valid.

Reload the sources and see if you get the same problem.

If that fixes it then delete them from "Software Sources".

Where did you get the information to install those PPA's?

Do you really need them?

Cool man!

Thanks a lot. .. ...it worked.

Actually I am not sure from where I got those repositories - as I was constantly updating my distro using various tips on differnt forums. and when i tried to look back I couldnt find which application needed that.

But thank a millions to help me! I was a lot panic with my mischief!!
