At this time, https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu has not updated their packages for Jammy. Therefore you must remove that PPA from your sources list (at least until they create a Jammy repository).

Ubuntu 22.04 ships with Gnome 42. It looks like you have a PPA repository for Gnome 3 enabled. Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) was the most recent Ubuntu release supported by that repository, so you no longer have a need for it on your system.

To fix that error, you need to remove that repository, which can be done with the following command:

sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

For further reading on that repository, see the GNOME3 PPA End of Life Announcement.

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 4612 (aptd) N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system. E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

In your case, the process with the lock is 4612, but to actually search, use `ps aux | grep "[a]pt"`. Use `kill 4612` to kill that process. If the ps command no longer returns applicable results, it should be safe to remove the lock file (`rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock`). Assuming you're not running as root, you will need to use sudo with those commands. Alternatively, just try rebooting and the problem may resolve itself.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
