Error message when excuting sudo apt-get update

Question

Whenever I execute sudo apt-get update I get this error message:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jolicloud-team/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I've checked my /etc/apt/sources.list file, but there is no reference to http://ppa.launchpad.net/jolicloud-team . Could anyone help me?

try this question: How can I fix a 404 Error when updating packages? — Wilf, Jul 25 '14 at 18:03
Natty (11.04) is way beyond end of life and I would highly encourage you to upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu. — Panther, Jul 25 '14 at 18:14
That PPA is installed for Natty. Is that the version you're running? What's the output of lsb_release -a? — Eliah Kagan, Jul 25 '14 at 18:58

There will be a file /etc/apt/sources.d/ with an entry for that PPA. That said, that PPA does not support Natty, and you really shouldn't be on Natty. Natty, or Ubuntu 11.04, reached End-of-Life in October 2012. Do upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 or Ubuntu 14.04.

@Hannu what am I supposed to see? – muru Jul 25 '14 at 18:12
@Hannu - ubuntu releases are here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases . IMHO, whenever possible, official pages are more palatable then wikipedia ;) – Panther Jul 25 '14 at 18:13
"natty" - cryptic for a newbie, I had no idea there was a natty-release, could just as well have been a special type of napkin. – Hannu Jul 25 '14 at 18:14
https://www.google.se/?gfe_rd=cr&safe=off#q=natty&safe=off -> wikipedia among first hits for me. ;-p – Hannu Jul 25 '14 at 18:16
@Hannu Ah. OK, I'll edit. – muru Jul 25 '14 at 18:17

Execute

grep -r jolicloud /etc/apt/sources.list.d

and then remove the files that are listed with this command.
