sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:jconti/gnome3

You have a PPA included in your apt-sources list which does not contain a package for your distribution (trusty), hence the error.

Try this, go to /etc/apt/source.list.d and execute sudo chmod -r google* we will see if it solve your issue – EdiD May 25 '15 at 17:34

You can also remove the sources in the /etc/apt/sources.list and then the Update should work

That's doing it the hard way. The easy way to do it is to run: sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:jconti/gnome3 – karel Sep 15 '16 at 06:16
Yea but the "hard way" works every time and he knows what he had done – Resurrection Sep 15 '16 at 15:32
