Thanks yanick for the idea! Here is the final version of the script.

Changes:
-Scans all sources from /etc/apt
-menu to choose release name

Thanks blackgr for the script. I don't need to run my own command again once new source is added.

Great job!

What you can do is click on the string, which will take you do a search results page. On that page are two links. Right click the first (under keyID) and save the link to your computer. Now go to the Authentication tab in Software Sources, click the Import Key File button, and select the file you just downloaded to import the key.

And yes, it still seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

Hi, I have had two failures to configure due to missing pub keys. I followed the instructions. I copied the script to a text file and saved it in the documents folder. I went to Software sources, authentication tab and clicked import Key file but don't know how to select the file. All I can do is select the folder it is in, but I expected the script to then appear in the list under authentication and there is no change. What should I do to complete this process?

[blackgr]

Just download the script and execute it with sudo.
example:

sudo ./launchpad-update intrepid

A minor correction to your script:

* Original:

wget -q --no-check-certificate `wget -q --no-check-certificate https://launchpad.net/~$i/+archive -O- | grep "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/" | cut -d'"' -f2 ` -O- | grep "pub " | cut -d'"' -f2 >> keyss

* Modified:

wget -q --no-check-certificate `wget -q --no-check-certificate https://launchpad.net/~$i/+archive/ppa -O- | grep "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/" | cut -d'"' -f2 ` -O- | grep "pub " | cut -d'"' -f2 >> keyss

Only this way your script worked on my Ubuntu Hardy installation.

JFYI.

Regards,
