Ubuntu
software-center package

when I try to download updates or pretty much anything else, I get a warning about not being able to download from an untrusted site. how do I stop this?

Asked by James McDaniel

This is the message I get when I try to download from the Ubuntu Software Center. (The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.) Could someone Please tell me how to fix this?

Thanks

The problem is now fixed, since you ran those commands?

I had a very similar problem. Software Center was saying that I couldn't install the Geanie IDE or the CodeLite IDE because they were "untrusted". Found this question/answer and ran the commands #sudo apt-get update and #sudo apt-get upgrade and restarted Software Center. The packages then installed without a hitch. I think simply running #sudo apt-get update would have sufficed, though I ended up having upgrades for a few packages so it was good that I ran the upgrade command as well. Thank you actionparsnip! =)
