I want to use Marillat repo to grap some multimedia packages when I try to connect Marillat with apt-get it gives me this messege
Code:
W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907
I try to fetch the gpg key but it doesn't work so plz how can I solve this problem ? .
I want to ask another thing .
I installed debian with lilo boot loader and I have windows xp , lilo didn't detect windows xp so how can I edit lilo to do that manually ?.

Looks like it is in the debian-keyring.
Code:
>$ gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --list-keys |grep 1F41B907
pub 1024D/1F41B907 1999-10-03
>$ gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --list-keys |grep Marillat
uid Christian Marillat <marillat@debian.org>
uid Christian Marillat <marillat.christian@wanadoo.fr>
uid Christian Marillat <marillat@free.fr>
So install the debian-keyring package then use as root.
Code:
gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg -a --export 07DC563D1F41B907 |apt-key add -

and forgive me again about my english .
It has been awhile since I used LILO but in the lilo.conf file there used to be an example at the bottom of the file uncomment the example and modify it if necessary for your install the as root /sbin/lilo -v to write the changes.
So why when I'm booting it didn't prompt me to choose between debian and windows ??
and this my lilo.conf:
Code:
# /etc/lilo.conf - See: `lilo(8)' and `lilo.conf(5)',
# --------------- `install-mbr(8)', `/usr/share/doc/lilo/',
# and `/usr/share/doc/mbr/'.
# +---------------------------------------------------------------+
# | !! Reminder !! |
# | |
# | Don't forget to run `lilo' after you make changes to this |
# | conffile, `/boot/bootmess.txt' (if you have created it), or |
# | install a new kernel. The computer will most likely fail to |
# | boot if a kernel-image post-install script or you don't |
# | remember to run `lilo'. |
# | |
# +---------------------------------------------------------------+
# Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
# case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.
#
boot=/dev/hda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/hda7
# This option may be needed for some software RAID installs.
#
# raid-extra-boot=mbr-only
# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
# map smaller. Using `compact' is especially recommended when
# booting from a floppy disk. It is disabled here by default
# because it doesn't always work.
#
# compact
# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: text, bmp, and menu
# Look in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details
#
#install=menu
# Specifies the location of the map file
#
map=/boot/map
# You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
# in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
# be typed to boot anything but a default configuration. If a
# command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
# statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well. Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.
#
# password=tatercounter2000
# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.
#
delay=20
# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
# `image' configurations below. eg: You can press `1' to boot
# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.
#
# message=/boot/bootmess.txt
# prompt
# delay=100
# timeout=100
# Specifies the VGA text mode at boot time. (normal, extended, ask, <mode>)
#
# vga=ask
# vga=9
#
# Kernel command line options that apply to all installed images go
# here. See: The `boot-prompt-HOWTO' and `kernel-parameters.txt' in
# the Linux kernel `Documentation' directory.
#
# append=""
# If you used a serial console to install Debian, this option should be
# enabled by default.
# serial=
#
# Boot up Linux by default.
#
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
# restricted
# alias=1
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional
# restricted
# alias=2
initrd=/initrd.img.old
# If you have another OS on this machine to boot, you can uncomment the
# following lines, changing the device name on the `other' line to
# where your other OS' partition is.
#
# other=/dev/hda4
# label=HURD
# restricted
# alias=3
other=/dev/hda1
label=Windows
# restricted
# alias=2
So why when I'm booting it didn't prompt me to choose between debian and windows ??
and this my lilo.conf:
Code:
# /etc/lilo.conf - See: `lilo(8)' and `lilo.conf(5)',
# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you

# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.
#
# message=/boot/bootmess.txt
prompt
# delay=100
timeout=100
Try this to get it to display the boot menu choice make sure to run the /sbin/lilo -v as root after making the change.
