Update Manager Will NOT Work

[xxander]

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:

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..

are are in the sudoers list ?

[xxander]

are are in the sudoers list ?

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...

[linuxopjemac]

then it's working correctly.

[xxander]

Are you sure? Because my friend has his do something different. Why would it have to download it a million times?

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.
