Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug.

The latest 2 post with terminal result, tell you this key is already in your keyring so please simply try to update your system...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

Suggestion: 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...

(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then to update and upgrade and also check pending or missing packages, still using terminal type:

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

Hope this helps

Thanks for all your help. marcobra,

I followed all your steps to the letter as best as I could.

Then when I went to the Update Manager I continue to get the same error message:

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.d

followed that remark in a lower screen and different bracket, is the familiar GPG contents and error message.

Your steps gave my pc a lot of input but I still have the same issue.

Maybe something will pop soon. millgillo

In response to zvacet's last message, my problem has to do with being unable to correctly update my system and I get these messages instead....

The first part of the Update Manager report begins with this statement :

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.:

The second part of the Update Manager report contains these words:

GPG error: http://ppa.lanchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/Release Unable to find expected entry multivers/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Failed to fetch http://ppa.lanchpad.net/do-core/ppa/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
