When I run the Update Manager, it seems to proceed to the end but then gives this error message:

What does it mean and what must I do to fix it? I am using a HP Mini 210 and do not have an optical drive.

First, open your Update Manager--Settings--Software Sources--Other Software and uncheck the CD Rom option.

Then run from a terminal:


gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 83FBA1751378B444
gpg --export --armor 83FBA1751378B444 | sudo apt-key add -


gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 60D11217247D1CFF
gpg --export --armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -

Then


sudo apt-get update

and post the results

Can you change the server for updates?

and then sudo apt-get update

The same error message keeps coming back and relating to the public key for ppa.launchpad.net. The following is the error message from the server at Western Michigan University --

I'm really wanting to stay with this LTS version of Ubuntu in the hope of working out some other issues.

The commands you need to run are
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 83FBA1751378B444
gpg --export --armor 83FBA1751378B444 | sudo apt-key add -


gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 60D11217247D1CFF
gpg --export --armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -

It also looks like you may need to use the Update Manager to remove the CDROM as an update source. Goto the Update Manager > Ubuntu Software then remove the check next to the Cdrom.

Hi

You may also want to delete that invalid ppa you have.

Copy and paste this into a terminal. If you type it that is a small L after the grep command and case is important.


grep -lZ "openoffice-pkga" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | xargs -0 sudo rm

Kind regards

Is the problem that the host server is not available? This has been going on for the months in which I have been working on getting set up.

You can temporally disable the http://ppa.launchpad.net PPA from Software Sources.

Phil_Munck
December 16th, 2011, 12:32 AM
My sources show check boxes for:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

and

http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

if I uncheck them, my error messages disappear. Does this mean that I am no longer checking the LibreOffice or OpenOffice repositories for updates? I presently have Libre Office 3.3.2 installed. Synaptic says that OpenOffice is not installed.

Old_Grey_Wolf
December 16th, 2011, 02:16 AM
LibreOffice was not in the Ubuntu repository of 10.04. The version of OpenOffice in 10.04 was 3.2. You must have installed from the PPA to get them or the latest development release of them. Depending on how you installed them then Synaptic may not know about them being on your system.

LibreOffice is now at 3.4.4; therefore, the development package for 3.3.2 is no longer offered. I think they dropped the 3.3.x PPA package when they moved from 3.3.x to 3.4.x.

So no, you are no longer checking the LibreOffice or OpenOffice repositories for updates. If you are using 10.04 you will have to find out what the current PPA package is for those products and change your sources.list accordingly.

You have already disabled the old PPA entries in the sources. You could enter these command to see if it fixes your problem
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

I am learning a great deal about repositories from this exercise and I believe I have straightened out some of the problems. What remains, however, is that when I run the Update Manager, I still get the following message at the end of its repository search:

The consistent theme so far seems to be a missing public key. Should this be on my computer? My continuing concern is that I might be missing an important update.

Thanks to all of you for the time taken with me so far.

Unchecking the use CD-Rom source did the trick for me.

Now, I just need to get the wireless adapter working in my downstairs computer when it's in Ubuntu.

I think the best trick for that is to set the system up with the ethernet first.

I don't know if you installed the drivers (if any) for the Wifi. Check the additional drivers application. You need wired connection to do it.
