Please excuse my ignorance but I am a complete newbie to Ubuntu/Linux (Ubuntu 8.04LTS) having only moved from the dark side a couple of days ago.

I have tried to use Update Manager this morning and have received the following error message:-

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 632D16BB0C713DA6

Could somebody please explain what I need to do to correct the situation.

Regards

Hi, you need to add the key, to do this open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and add the key with

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 632D16BB0C713DA6
gpg --export --armor 632D16BB0C713DA6 | sudo apt-key add -
then

sudo apt-get update
