    And 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. – terdon Jul 28 '17 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 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome-terminator/ppa/ubuntu displays the files in a browser. – CatMan Jul 28 '17 at 13:33
