Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker.

You need to remove duplicates rows into your /etc/apt/sources.list file...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo /etc/apt/sources.list

copy and paste the contents here...

Thank you
