    Not authenticated (Synaptic)

    On installing guake in synaptic I get a warning about stuff being unauthenticated.

    [Screenshot here]

    What exactly does this mean? Is the software not coming from the main servers? Or does it have something to do with the multiverse/universe distinction? Or something with signing?

    I'd appreciate it if someone could help clarify.

    It is probably from a repository that you do not have the PGP key for. If you run
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    it will show you which keys you do not have.

    Apologies for not responding immediately...I was busy fighting with a lock on apt & a mirror that appears to be down.

    Not sure what the business about Ign is about, but I don't see anything about keys.

    After switching mirrors (From the ubuntu ZA -> mirror.ac.za), the app installed and I haven't seen the error again. Weird.
