Modify your sources.list by opening a terminal and typing

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then delete your entire ultramatix section and copy and paste the one below (it was calling for harty instead of hardy). Then save and exit. Then retry

sudo apt-get update

Dam, I hate not having edit

second line in ultramatix has typo
deb-scr http://repoubuntusoftware.info hardy all

should be
deb-src http://repoubuntusoftware.info hardy all

the problem wit the synaptic is fixed but each time i use ultramatix it go bak.

Let see if there is a permanent fix to this.

Go the the menu System-> Administation-> Software Sources.

Now select the Third-Party Software tab. There should be ultramatix entry in there. Select the entry and hit the edit button. Change harty to hardy.
