every time i do apt update i got this error message

E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/brightbox/ruby-ng/ubuntu jammy Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

i already tried to do

sudo ppa-purge ppa:brightbox/rubg-ng and still got problem

also already tried reinstalling and something similiar to ppa, launchpad,and ruby but i think i don't get the right package in this case. i also see the sources.list in apt folder, there is not something similiar to ppa, launchpad,and ruby

Did you look at https://launchpad.net/~brightbox/+archive/ubuntu/ruby-ng as it clearly states it doesn't provide support for 22.04 or *jammy*. PPA's are 3rd party sources don't forget (ie. your job to check if safe/useful for your system). Your details are unclear though, as your paste shows 22.04 but you tagged 20.04?

Your question details do not mention uninstalling packages; only an error on update (*updating software lists*) which will be corrected by removing that PPA which does **not** support any product after 2020-April (20.04); details on correcting that (ie. removing the bad source you've added) are in the duplicate I tagged. You can use GUI tools if desktop, or command tools if server (*you didn't specify*)

Refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu (or the duplicate link). Remove it using a text editor, or the GUI tools (if using a desktop). By commenting out the line (*adding a # at the start of the line*) the source will be *disabled* and ignored; the GUI tools just add this "#" when you uncheck that inappropriate source you've added. Where the source exists on your system will depend on how it was added. (*Myself, I always use the text editor `vim` & leave comments on why added, date etc; and clues so I can `fgrep` search for my changes*)

My first comment was generated by the web site when I *flagged* this question as a duplicate. It'll be marked as such when enough *close-voting* users of the site agree with my *flag*; you can I suspect help that, alas sorry I don't know how (*I've little experience asking questions on this site sorry*). Well done on solving it though.

FYI: The directory `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` is also searched for sources.. that directory is *empty* on a new install, so anything in there was added by users with `sudo` privileges after install.

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.
