    Unhappy Update Manager Will NOT Work

    I have used Update Manager once, but now when I go to it, it displays this message after failing: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3F2A5EE4B796B6FE . (period not included) How do I fix this and get my updates?

    Additional Info: MacBook running Desktop version of Ubuntu with a Netbook version add-on. Thanks guys!

    In the console, try this:

    Code:
    sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 3F2A5EE4B796B6FE
    sudo gpg --export --armor 3F2A5EE4B796B6FE | sudo apt-key add -

    I tried this, and when I entered the first 'sudo', I was given an error..

    What is that? And also, it changed from giving me an error to just downloading them without any confirmation that they were installed correctly. When I go to download it again, it always downloads the same 48 files...

    It is not downloading the same files it is the just checking the repositories for updates.

    Okay. This just seems very odd because the first time I downloaded updates, it did not do this. But now the second time around, it's acting weird.
