[SOLVED] Looking for a Guru.

athletia · 02-13-2020, 08:23 AM

Hey all,
I want you to know that I am looking for a person with a kind of patience. I know how to read Forum's post and I still can't figure out a couple of things. I need someone who can teach me some knowledge and want to communicate on a daily base. If you are the kind of person that I am looking for, please let me know! Thank you in advance.

If you post your questions clearly, and give us details, we can all help you work through your problems. However, it seems like you're looking for a free one-on-one personal tutor/tech-support, which is not what the forums are really here for.

Have you done that?

Open a terminal and
man apt-secure
man apt-get
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/a...cure.8.en.html
https://manpages.debian.org/buster/a...-get.8.en.html

Also look at your distributions docs

Greatfull hand! I just tweaked the [B]Update manager[/B] to an FTP mirror. Now it's downloading. Question; Is this cause Http servers. Server provider setting issue?

jefro · 02-13-2020, 02:59 PM

I'd assume you are behind a proxy. (or other network traffic issue)

Tests to the http https site directly via web brower may be a place to start.

Did you read the man page?
https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/a...cure.8.en.html

Code:

Starting with version 0.6, apt contains code that does signature checking of the Release file for all archives. 
This ensures that packages in the archive can't be modified by people who have no access to the Release file signing key. 

If a package comes from a archive without a signature, or with a signature that apt does not have a key for, that 
package is considered untrusted, and installing it will result in a big warning. apt-get will currently only warn 
for unsigned archives; future releases might force all sources to be verified before downloading packages from them.

You need to configure apt it looks like. And use current repo for your distribution.
