W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/psyke83/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/psyke83/ppa/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.

The PPA that you are trying to upgrade packages from (found here) hasn't been updated for 5 years. It does not provide packages for your 14.04 version of Ubuntu.

You should get rid of the PPA, e.g. by installing ppa-purge and doing

sudo ppa-purge ppa:psyke83/ppa

Then do sudo apt-get update.

Then, sudo apt-get upgrade will remove the packages from this PPA, and install your new kernel.
