    Question Problem with Updates, "GPG error"

    Running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on a samsung laptop. I am trying to update my kernel in order to install the kernel with the fix (3.2.31, i think). But whenever I try to run sudo apt-get update I get the following error:


    Fetched 154 kB in 2s (60.9 kB/s)

    I also tried to update using the update manager, and I get the following error:

    Requires installation of untrusted packages

    The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
    ----Details----
    dbus dbus-x11 ghostscript ghostscript-cups ghostscript-x isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common libdbus-1-3 libdbus-1-dev libgs9 libgs9-common linux-headers-3.2.0-31 linux-headers-3.2.0-31-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae linux-libc-dev resolvconf software-center tzdata tzdata-java

    Any help is appreciated! Hopefully with this update I will have a bug-free system again (fingers crossed)

    Did you try googling any of your errors? A simple search for your error message gave the top answer of:

    http://techpad.co.uk/content.php?sid=84

    Which looks promising.

    By the way, looking at other posts with similar errors, I ran:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get clean
    cd /var/lib/apt
    sudo mv lists lists.old
    sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
    sudo apt-get clean
    sudo apt-get update

    no luck

    and also:

    sudo aptitude -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update

    and also no luck.

    Add the keys back:
    Code:
    gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key  40976EAF437D05B5     
    gpg -a --export 010908312D230C5F | sudo apt-key add -
