Which version of Ubuntu are you using? It might be that your current version is incompatible with the version the repository is made for. For example, this repository is made for Ubuntu 18.04.

what kind of resolution are you looking for?

did you add that ppa to your system? i don’t have it in my /etc/apt/sources.list for ubuntu mate 18.04.3. if you did add it, where did you read that you should do so and can you share a link?

the MainlineBuilds page from the ubuntu wiki suggests that you need to download the kernel from the archive and install it with dpkg.

I haven’t encountered the same error you describe so my suggestion is just a guess. Try running the commands shown here:

These instructions have bailed me out a couple of times.

It seems that you have an added the kernel-ppa on your own, am I right? If yes, then please delete it from your software sources.
