I have tried various recommendations from the web to no success.
The apt-get update gives errors .
Here are my error messages after sudo apt-get udpate:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/java/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/java/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I have reviewed and tried the existing stackexchange answers that are not working for me. Trying to cleanup the ppa as per advice in sourcse gives me the following errors : For example, the following command to remove the ppa shows other scary messages :
winsella@winsella:~$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppaname-ppa-$(lsb_release -sc).list*
