2And what are you doing? What command did you run? What did you try to solve it? Obviously you searched Google for the error before coming here, so what did that tell you? Please edit your question and explain what you were doing and what you've tried.– terdonCommented Jul 28, 2017 at 13:32

apt has very bad error messages. Has not Release file could also mean you do have a typo in your address or no internet connection at all. You should check if ppa.launchpad.net/gnome-terminator/ppa/ubuntu displays the files in a browser.– CatManCommented Jul 28, 2017 at 13:33

4for me it was 'bionic' and I changed to xenial, fixed the issue, but I don't understand why it doesn't have the bionic dist?– sangressCommented Jan 20, 2019 at 15:24

7@sangress If you look at
http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome-terminator/ppa/ubuntu/dists/you'll see that there's not a bionic distribution directory for this software.– heynnemaCommented Jan 20, 2019 at 15:28 -
