Asked by acmfiroz

The kroq-gar78 PPA does not provide software for trusty. You have to disable that PPA.

What is the output of the terminal commands

lsb_release -crid
grep kroq-gar78 /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

PPA doesn't support Trusty. You can remove this with:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kroq-gar78-ppa*
sudo apt-get update
