Need information to run the Update Manager

gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 60D11217247D1CFF; gpg --export --armor 60D11217247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -; gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys EF4186FE247510BE; gpg --export --armor EF4186FE247510BE | sudo apt-key add -; gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 6E871C4A881574DE; gpg --export --armor 6E871C4A881574DE | sudo apt-key add -

You have been adding PPA repos, but not getting the GPG keys.

Once you have ran that long command (Copy the whole thing and paste into a terminal). Can you then paste th eoutput of:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks

Thanks actionparsnip,

The Output is :

If you get any error about GPG keys you can use the same command. Just replace the code in the output.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release does exist but is causing a warning so you may want to comment the line out to supress the errors.

Hi actionparsnip,

Thank you for your help.

I followed your advice.

I am not sure if I got any error about GPG keys. How do I use the same command by 'Just replace the code in the output'?

Could you please help me by elaborating on the help you gave me. How could I do the following?

http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release does exist but is causing a warning so you may want to comment the line out to supress the errors.

Please find the output of the Terminal appended below.

So the gpg repository keys are ok now... to fully upgrade your system using terminal...

open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal

Tip: right click with mouse on the terminal title caption and select the item "Always on Top" doing this you will force the terminal window to stay on top of the other windows and you will find very easy to copy single row from this web page into the terminal...
Something more about using the terminal https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

Then type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:
(Tip: select the single row to copy then right click into the terminal and to quick paste click with middle button of mouse )

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

and if is needed, then please reboot your system, type

sudo reboot

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

Hope this helps

Thank you so much folks!

I think that has solved the problem.

I tried the udate manager and it seems to work. However, I do get the following message, "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

Please let me know if I can ignore the above message.

Thanks again.

God bless!

P.S. The help and instuctions given was brilliant and clear.

Very, very helpful.

Thanks.

To be sure is not a transient please try to run this command twice

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then please also consider to remove or to rem the line putting a "#" char at very beginning of the line in the /etc/apt/sources.list file, to edit the file, type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

save and exit, then redo the

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Hoep this helps

I followed your suggestions. (The output has been appended below). I then checked update manager but still got the error message, "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

Please let me know if there is anything I need to do? Sorry to keep bothering you.

Thanks.

Please check into the /etc/apt/sources.list the rows related to bisigi https://launchpad.net/zgegball-themes repository are same this i report to you below:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Hi,

I did look in the webpages of all the 3 links you sent me (abiove) but it appears to me that there is no 'sources.list' there.

However, I'm not sure this is because I am new to Linux and not very proficient. Please help.

Thanks.

ah ha you have a malformed line.

run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and change

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

to

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Save the new file, close gedit then run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

done

Hi,

That worked. I am both grateful & relieved. Now my update manager runs fine.

Thank you so much. Take care.

Watch what you add to files in the OS. It has very little fuzzy logic so malformed lines will make issues.

Thank you actionparsnip, that fixed the problem for me also. I tried a lot of other things and this was the first to work.
How do these malformed lines you speak of occur in the first place?
