update-manager package

Cannot update Acer ONE

Asked by John Hart on 2009-02-04

Update manager runs into some file that can't be authenticated which causes the update to fail.

Here is the output of the message in my Software Sources:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF

The computer is using 2.6.27.9 generic and won't upgrade to .11

Using Ubuntu 8.10 2.6.27.9 generic

Update: I kept trying, I checked the Packages only box and tried again without success. I continued to try and I finally got the update to go all the wat to completion. Now it is updated to 2.6.27.11generic
