I have been all over this thread and nothing I've read or tried fixes this for me. I had wine installed but I removed it because I didn't want to mess with it. It appears that has compromised things for me. When I do sudo apt update I receive:
Err:1 disco InRelease Could not resolve 'your.repo.domain'
Ign:2 stable InRelease
Get:3 disco InRelease [6,255 B]
Ign:4 artful-updates InRelease
Err:5 artful-updates Release 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.26 80]

E: The repository ' artful-updates Release' no longer has 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 used to be well versed in Linux but that was like 10 years ago and now I have no idea what I'm doing. Can someone please explain to me how to fix this like I was 5? I changed my server to main server.
I removed wine from the Other Software and it said to reload software so I did and it failed saying: E:The repository ' artful-updates Release' does not have a Release file. When searching sources, I see this. I'm running a backup now, as suggested in another thread, can someone help me on where to go from here? Thank you so much!!

E: The repository no longer has a Release file
Seems you have artful (Ubuntu 17.10) repository on your /etc/apt/sources.list file, as it has reached EOL (End Of Life)— the repository therefore is no longer available.
To fix this, you need to delete or comment the repository, either way will do the jobs.
Open /etc/apt/sources.list using superuser privilege.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.listFind for this line.
deb artful-updates mainComment/delete it, if you comment it the line would look like this.
# deb artful-updates mainAdding # hashtag sign to beginning of the line, this will deactivate the artful repository.
Could not resolve 'your.repo.domain'
Apparently OP has some unknown source on the package source list, apt doesn't recognized it hence the error above.
Same as before procedure, unrecognized source needs to be removed.
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/your-repo-name.listWhere your-repo-name.list is the problematic standalone source list.
Try sudo apt update again, it shouldn't produce any error now.
