I can't install ANY software.

mko

Like I wrote before, remove/comment out all instances of sauce from the sources.list.
Then run an update and see what else needs fixing.
To do this run

Code:

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and then add a# symbol to the front of every line that has sauce in it.

Then save and run an update.

Example
This line

Code:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ sauce main restricted

changes to this

Code:

#deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ sauce main restricted

When I write in browser this address: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ sauce main restricted I obtain this answer:

Code:

Not Found

The requested URL /ubuntu/ sauce main restricted was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at archive.ubuntu.com Port 80

As all your sources.list file is full of "sauce" packages and they are not found, you have problems updating. You don't know what sauce is but I neither. I know about saucy, the ubuntu development release (13.10)

I think, the best thing to do is to regenerate your sources.list file in one of the two ways provided by this thread:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/12401...t-repositories

Try then to update and if all works well, then you can add the third party repositories (as you have for spotify).
