EasyUbuntu

difficulty installing easyubuntu

Asked by Annie Coulter

when i try and set up easyubuntu (you know, when you check the boxes for what you want downloaded) i get an error message: "W: GPG error: http://packages.freecontrib.org dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F120156012B83718".

then i get an error message that says: "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first."

could it be because i did not run the command correctly? i typed wget http://easyubuntu.cafuego.net/969F3F57.gpg into the terminal, and it seemed to work, but i was not sure what to do with the -O - | sudo apt-key add - part, so i didn't do anything.

thanks

you need to run these two commands (they are each one line, sorry the
top one line wraps):

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

and
wget http://easyubuntu.cafuego.net/969F3F57.gpg -O - |sudo apt-key add -

Can you help with this problem?
