Try adding the repository manually.

Open a terminal, do not login as root, and type the following:

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/slimbook/slimbook/ubuntu `lsb_release -sc` main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/slimbook-ubuntu-slimbook-`lsb_release -sc`.list

Verify that you've added the repository:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/slimbook*

Add the GPG key (per N0rbert's comment):

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BE80F1EEB3838E61E42091B378A22399981017FC

Then update:

sudo apt update

NOTE: You probably already know this, but you should not be logging into a terminal as a root user; use sudo instead.

  I agree with N0rbert's statement, you probably have a network issue. Nevertheless, I did add the GPG key, just to have a complete answer.
