  • This is the same thing I had previously answered but now have sufficient reputation to comment. It says that it is unable to resolve the host. Have you modified your /etc/hosts file and, in doing so, removed/commented out the default line that should look something like 127.0.0.1 vanz. Even if you haven't intentionally, can you please confirm this exists so we can rule out that something else hasn't modified it? – Nathan Smith Aug 04 '17 at 13:57

Either remove the PPA with this command:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa

(See How can PPAs be removed?)

Or edit the file and comment out everything there. Later you can remove it if this fixes the problem.
