Ubuntu

Automatic Updates claimed to be 'not authenticated' [translated from german]

Asked by David Ayers

Current automatic updates intends to update:

linux-image-2.6.22-15-generic
linux-headers-2.6.22-15
linux-headers-2.6.22-15-generic

yet the update claims the packages are:
 "NICHT AUTHENTIFIZIERT" (not authenticated in German locale)
I'm not sure whether that means the packages are not signed or whether I'm missing keys.
It is also unclear from which repository this is being downloaded from.

My /etc/apt/source.list contains:

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security main restricted universe

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dell-team/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/dell-team/ubuntu gutsy main

deb http://landscape.canonical.com/packages/gutsy ./

Please advise on what I need to do.

Please simply try to do an apt-get update (twice) ...
Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then to be sure your system is fully upgraded, to check:
open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get autoremove

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps

Thank you Marcoba,

I was aware of how that can be done with either apt-get/aptitude/Update Manager (Synaptic?)
What I was worried about was the lacking authentication.

But it seems that the "$PACKAGE-MANAGER update" resolved the issue.
So thank you for the hint.

Cheers,
David
