Update problems

[sidewinder12s]

I noticed my package info hadnt updated since I installed linux. I ran the package manager to reload it and I got this error in that and terminal.

Reading package lists... Done
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192

W: Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release

W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Now it will not update at all. Any help?

Sure open a terminal and copy and paste these two commands:


gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 16126D3A3E5C1192


gpg --export --armor 16126D3A3E5C1192 | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Put both those commands in and I still got this error.

Also I was having trouble with my Wifi, I have a latest Macbook that has the Broadcom Driver enabled. However, it keeps dropping the signal and will not connect to it right away. Lately it wont connect for like 5 minutes. I have good signal, I am sitting right above the router and it works on the OSX. Should I just make another thread for that?

Im still getting this error, even after a restart.

Probably a good idea. You will get more specific help. The title of this thead is unrelated to that issue. ;)

I am still getting the updating error though. Ill post the Wifi trouble somewhere else.

Do the same thing for the other key but swap out the number's.
