GPG error, no public key
hi, i earlier had used ubuntu 8.04 earlier, but after upgrade to 8.10, some startup problems occured, so i uninstalled it.
after few months when i m again using 8.04 nd i m getting some problems like: i) vlc 0.9.2 was not getting installed by apt-get way, although i typed following in the terminal: Quote:

ii)system update always leaves following error: Quote:

I'm not sure of the ins & outs of apt-get, nor how exactly it works as far as keys goes, but perhaps if you manually import the key yourself, it would solve the problem?
Try in a console as root: gpg --recv-keys 71346C8340130828 .. and then try getting the package(s) you are having trouble with. Hope this helps for the meantime, until/unless someone can explain exactly why this is happening for you.. Sasha PS - you can truncate the first bunch of characters off of that key if you like; gpg only needs the last EIGHT characters to identify the key. |
thanks GrapefruiTgirl for reply, i tried your way but i got following error

thanks brjoon1021, but the link does no change in the error, it remains same as it was
|
You are sure that the script ran in a terminal and displayed the fact that it found all of the keys ?
|
sorry, my mistake, the gpg errors got solved magically by that link, must be a network problem earlier. thanks..
may b i m expecting a lot, does anyone anyone has the vlc solution i've posted earlier? |
not specifically, but PPAs are a pain in the butt. I have had them change the keys on me for no reason and then updates spit out the no signing key error. Just google for VLC PPA and then download the signing key. It is a guy's name if I remember that one correctly then open synaptic, go to authentication and look for that same key. Assuming that you already have it, but that it is old, you can delete it and then import the new one that you just downloaded. You should be good. That script worked for you, then... I thought it was awesome. I have 9 or ten PPAs and it found them all on my last install, but I can get it to do crap for me now for some reason.

yup, u were right, i checked the launchpad for vlc here, the source list lines were different from actually what i had been using, i changed those and it worked.
Thanks all. |
