cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -n 55 | tail -n 3; echo; lsb_release -a

Ok, do this:
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Insert and run this command:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

3. Now, in the text editor, change this line:
[Oracle Repository]
[Oracle Repository]

into this:
# [Oracle Repository]
# [Oracle Repository]

Then save and close.

4. In the terminal now run:
sudo apt-get update

5. Try to update now with update manager.
