I know that it is saying one app cannot be installed cos it cannot find he correct version.

I saw online on stackoverflow people said using this to solve it .

If you actually look at that URL you'll see that there is no "focal" folder. Commenting it out doesn't really solve the problem if you wanted packages from that repository... try uncommenting and changing "focal" with "generic".

same result.

I think maybe this is because 20.04 is a recently released distro? I tried other PPAs all got similar errors.

In speedtest.list replace focal with buster.

 

ookla speedtest repository does not have packages for ubuntu 20.04 yet.
