14.04 - Lost on these new fresh install upgrade-update errors on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04




Ubuntu Gnome 17.04; upgraded from 14.04 LTS and for some reason this nonsense is all over my terminal when I do



$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get 


I get

I never saw this before on 14.04LTS (although I admit, I have been away from Ubuntu for about two years); I even lost my username and password apparently so pardon me for this new account. I tried all of my emails, but no go so here be my new account. Yay me!




Back to the question; any idea why I am getting all of this? And who the heck is jonathonf? Thinking maybe it is an old 14.04 rep that is no longer supported? This is a fresh install with only a few programs and Minecraft installed for the kiddos.



Removing errros



“Minecraft Installer Peeps” team and Jonathon F doesn't have a release targeting Zesty yet.



I'd advise you to run these following commands to get rid of the errors



sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6


Then run



sudo apt-get update






Installing the packages you want



If you want to get python 3.6 on 17.04, then you don't need to add PPA, it's already available on Universe repository



sudo apt-get install python3.6


And Minecraft is officially available as .jar file on their website







References and extra information
