Looks fine. If you click on the links:

http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner
http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (Source Code)
http://ppa.launchpad.net/artfwo/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/artfwo/ppa/ubuntu karmic main (Source Code)
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

Do they show the contents of the server ok?

karmic-proposed isn't recommended, unless you know how to fix conflicts.
Could be you've already downloaded some proposed which causes the issue.
However, please post the output of:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

thank you too

and also i get the "fail" and "hit" in packages status tab when i run the update..

Well:

Hit http://archive.canonical.com karmic Release

Looks like you hit the server

you mean i have to change the server? i m in a greek server.. or do you mean i have to put other repositories? i have also these (not enabled) :

ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-updates main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-security main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-backports main multiverse restricted universe

should i replace the "archive.canonical" whith these?

i have made updates with only "archive.canonical" and with "otenet.gr" too
what should i keep?

If you like copy&paste the above (default) sources.list. You may add any time later what is missing for your special needs.
For the moment it should do to just update the system with a 'clean' sources.list.
Make sure not to run more than one update manager, e.g. Synaptic and terminal together.
You may also disable 'proposed' in system administration -> repositories

Rename current sources.list:
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
Create a new sources.list:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

When finished update as before.

Hey sam i did as you told and run those commands.The gedit sources.list document came out empty. In "software sources- ubuntu software" everything was uncheked. In repositiries i had only this : http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main and checked ! (why did that remain?)
I added these ones with "deb" infront, otherwise it wouldn t take them.(i dont know if thats right)

ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-updates main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-security main multiverse restricted universe
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-proposed main multiverse restricted universe (disabled)
ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-backports main multiverse restricted universe

Will i get all the "main" updates with these you think?
The gedit /etc/apt/sources.list i get now is:

deb http://ubuntu.otenet.gr/ karmic main universe restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-security universe main restricted
deb http://ubuntu.otenet.gr/ karmic-updates universe main restricted
deb ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic main multiverse restricted universe
deb ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-updates main multiverse restricted universe
deb ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-security main multiverse restricted universe
# deb ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-proposed main multiverse restricted universe
deb ftp://ftp.otenet.gr/ubuntu karmic-backports main multiverse restricted universe
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/artfwo/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/artfwo/ppa/ubuntu karmic main (Source Code)

Yes i ve seen those "gr.archive" and some othes too, thats why i m a little confused..Anyway i ll try them out..thanks for the help and the tips.
I use an intel

Thanks Sam, that solved my question.
