Error message on trying to use Easy Ubuntu

I get the same messages, but in spite of the error messages, EasyUbuntu keeps running and installs many of the packages...

- Jeff

Try running the following command

wget http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/12B83718.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Then try again.

apt-key add -

Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunately, I have already installed all the codecs manually now, so I'll leave this until the next time I do a fresh install of Ubuntu.

KarlGoetz,

I had the same GPG error as Charlie - I tried your fix and it worked. I just wanted to say thanks and make sure there was a post on record that verified that your solution worked.

good to hear, i'll mark this as answered then. :)

Actually, I get this same error, and I have run that command numerous times trying to fix it. I first ran the command after the install, and everything seemed to go find with it. Then, upon using EasyUbuntu to update, I received the same error messages listed in the support request. I tried running the command again, and still no help. Any idea what else might be wrong?

wisesalesman,
could you paste the output you get here? it will help work out whatas wrong.
thanks

when I try to install some package I got this error:

W: GPG error: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com dapper Release: Les signatures suivantes n'ont pas pu être vérifiées car la clé publique n'est pas disponible : NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783

Ok this error has been already submitted, I type in a terminal:

 wget http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/12B83718.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
