Question

I had tried to install sosumi A few days back. I haven't used my pc since then and now after i try to run sudo apt update, this shows up:

I tried several fixes, but nothing worked. Any solutions?

I tried several fixes, but nothing worked. If so those weren't fixes. The only fix is to remove the PPAs mentioned in the error message. Neither has content for Ubuntu 22.04. The way to avoid this in the future is to NOT follow old instructions that include adding PPAs without making sure they support your release. — ChanganAuto, Oct 11 '22 at 07:51

You have two PPA's which do not have releases for Jammy:

https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder/ubuntu https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mc3man/xerus-media/ubuntu

You should edit the corresponding file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d to reference focal instead of jammy for these PPA's (this may or may not work as expected). Or you can disable them entirely with these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:mc3man/xerus-media

now i am getting this - The repository 'cdrom://Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish - Release amd64 (20220419) jammy Release' does not have a Release file. — imkrishnasarathi, Oct 29 '22 at 12:43
