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

3. Go to the end of the file and remove this line:
"sudo apt-get update"

4. Save and close the text editor and the terminal
5. Open a new terminal and run this command
sudo apt-get update

6. Try to use update manager now. Should work.
