This will just download the key, but not make Update Manager use it to verify the downloads. Instead, try the following command: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9BDB3D89CE49EC21 > But only get:gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file > `/home/cjm/.gnupg/gpg.conf' >[snip] > gpg: WARNING: unsafe enclosing directory permissions on configuration file > `/home/cjm/.gnupg/gpg.conf' > > I have done this also: sudo chown cjm:cjm /home/cjm/.gnupg/* > It's probably not an ownership problem, so chown won't help. I think you need to stop other users accessing the .gnupg directory, so 'chmod 700 /home/cjm/.gnupg' should do the trick. You might need to change the files inside the directory too: something like 'chmod --recursive go-rwx /home/cjm/.gnupg/*' Obviously, don't type the ' quotes on the command line! :-) HTH Neil. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
