I am running Ubuntu 18.04. I can't update in the terminal. Every time I try (by typing sudo apt-get update), I get the message:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/themes/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

The ppa you're trying to use does not support 18.04. If you used this command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes

to add it, use:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:noobslab/themes

to remove it.

  • I ran the above command and here is what it gave me:

    Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/noobslab/themes/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

    You can remove it manually by navigating as root to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory and deleting the noobslab themes related one or two files. If there's one file only, it should have the noobslab-something.list extension. If there are two files, the other one should have the noobslab-something.list.save extension. After you delete both of them, run sudo apt-get update again. – Stormlord Aug 06 '18 at 19:09
