Hey there guys, im rather new to Linux so please be patient!

Im currently using Ubuntu 8.10 (upgraded from 8.04) and at the moment experiencing repository failures. Every time I try to download a package through the terminal I get a GPG Error along with some other errors too with the bottom line reading 'Program Aborted due to Repository Failures.'

Im not too sure why this happens now, I never had any problems with 8.04. If anyone could shed any light that would be great!

Thanks! :popcorn:

maybe the servers are down? it said "Error 404"...just try again to update it later...btw, here's the GPG for google, type tis in the terminal,

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
apt-get update

aw, sorry, the last dash is not included,,,the two lines are different commands to be issued...it should be,

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add
apt-get update

(going to sleep now:-$)

you might want to check this (http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/apt.html) and this (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-google-gadgets-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html)...see if that helps, i also use google desktop, as i know, there's know itrepid repo yet, so might want to retain the 'hardy' there...
