  • give us the details, which ppa, what have you executed. I highly doubt there will be any ppa named quantal because it's name of ubuntu 12.10. What is the content of sources file?

Just open up terminal (ctrl+alt+T) and post the commands: [Replacing gedit with your favourite text editor]

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and remove all references to the faulty repository.
