Problems updating and installing
Hi,
I seem to be having issues updating. Through update manager things just seem to hang, and if I try sudo apt-get update I get errors like Err 403 Forbidden. I tried creating a sources list then replacing the old one, but upon running the keys as the website suggested this also failed.
Re: Problems updating and installing
Please post the output of
Code:
sudo apt-get update
so we can see which sources are kicking the 403.
Re: Problems updating and installing
Actually, today sudo apt-get update seems to work fine and no Err 403 generated, strange. Never the less if I try to update using update manager, which has a list of updates for me ready to install, I get:

Is there any functionality gained (other than ease of use) in the graphical update tool not realized by using apt from the command line?
I am admittedly a command line junkie and still looking for that way to edit my spreadsheets from the command line (not really). :-/

I'm more worried about why it's suddenly stopped working, and also why even after the command line update, the gui updater still has a big list of things it seems to want to update. Could it be a problem with the authentication keys or something?
Re: Problems updating and installing
Actually it was apt-get upgrade that was successful, sorry. When I do apt-get update I still get the errors:

Re: Problems updating and installing
I *seem* to have fixed this by manually adding keys in the manner
Quote:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys B302120208A255AF
for each missing key. I tried sudo apt-keys update first with no success. I then do sudo apt-get update with no errors.
Finally on update manager things seem to now install (I'm somewhat puzzled why there are items left to install at here; why did sudo apt-get update not do the installs?)

Just FYI, what you ended up doing is the standard procedure for adding repositories/PPAs. You must manually add the keys for those sources, either as you did or by installing a keyring package for the source (if it exists). This is a security feature. ('sudo apt-key update' only updates the existing local keyring with the keyring from the corresponding distribution archive.)

'sudo apt-get update' does not install anything. Did you mean 'sudo apt-get upgrade'? If so, if you don't tell apt that it can install from untrusted sources, it won't do so; that's probably why it didn't already install those packages.

Not necessarily. If you add a ppa using the add-apt-repository command (or the apt-add-repository command for 12.10), the keys are added automatically. IMO, a much simpler approach if the ppa is listed at launchpad.net.

Good catch. You're right; I forgot that that option existed for Launchpad PPAs.
