Open up /etc/apt/sources.list in gedit, press Alt-F2 and type:

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Enter your password when aske. This will open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor to comment out a line put a # at the start of the line. To uncomment a line remove the # from the beginning of the line.

There is a "typo" in your source list:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Change "harty" to "hardy". Save/close the file.
