Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_libreoffice3.4-writerguide_ubuntu.list; ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_libreoffice3.4-writerguide_ubuntu.list

Thanks

ok run:

sudo cmod a+r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_libreoffice3.4-writerguide_ubuntu.list

Then it should be smooth when you run:

sudo apt-get update
