apt-get update failed with xfce-4.10

I have installed xfce-4.10 in ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS . I want to install notepadqq and have to add ppa and do apt-get update . But "sudo apt-get update" failed with following error. Please help to check them.

Re: apt-get update failed with xfce-4.10

That would be an issue for Ubuntu, not Xfce; check with them.  Alas, it may be that your version of Ubuntu is past End of Life, and the only thing their help forum would give you is to suggest to upgrade to a supported version.

Re: apt-get update failed with xfce-4.10

I think that PPA is deprecated, and support for Ubuntu 12.04 ended on April 28, 2017.

Strangely, Notepadqq has files for download for 11 of the last 12 Ubuntu versions!

It's just Precise (12.04) which is missing there...

I guess it's time for a dist-upgrade, good luck!

Is there a way to remove xfce-4.10 from ppa list to bypass the error?

Again, this is out of the scope of this forum, but a search for "ubuntu remove ppa" gives the expected results: https://askubuntu.com/questions/307/how … be-removed

Good luck!
