Software updater

Asked by davidzaq1

Hello,

I have a problem with my software updater on Ubuntu 10.04.
When I try to use the update manager, I get a message that some of the software was unable to update. Example, if there are
40 updates available, it will say 35 were able to be installed.

I am also getting this message:

   W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783

which may be the reason all the updates are not being downloaded.

Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

Thanks for the help.

Add this repository gpg key copy and paste this row into terminal and then press enter:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 2EBC26B60C5A2783

Then update your system type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Hope this helps

This was able to resolve a similar problem for me. All I did was replace they key number with the key number in the error. Thanks for the posting and good instructions.
