  • This is the same thing I had previously answered but now have sufficient reputation to comment. It says that it is unable to resolve the host. Have you modified your /etc/hosts file and, in doing so, removed/commented out the default line that should look something like `127.0.0.1 vanz`. Even if you haven't intentionally, can you please confirm this exists so we can rule out that something else hasn't modified it? – Nathan Smith Aug 04 '17 at 13:57

Either remove the PPA with this command:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa

(See How can PPAs be removed?)

Or edit the file and comment out everything there. Later you can remove it if this fixes the problem.
