unable to install ubuntu software - always shows: 'requires installation of untrusted packages
Unable to install ubuntu software, because it comes up with the words "Requires installation of untrusted packages". Can't get most things to install.
How can I install software?
Also, my hotmail email account rarely works on linux 10.04. It worked once tonight, then wouldn't go on.

Thank you.
Am doing the best I can with it. It all seems very complex to me, and I'm wondering if I should just reinstall Windows.
