It appears that I'm not the only one who has attempted an apt-get install of SlimServer on Ubuntu recently and encountered a "problem" with authentication:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36060&highlight=authenticated I think maybe that the problem is not which method we're using to install (apt-get command line, synaptic, adept, etc.) but rather whether we have the proper security settings. I believe Ubuntu 7.04 (which I am using also) will only install packages without warning that can be authenticated with a PGP signature. Does anyone know if this is correct? Given that the Wiki's instructions (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/?DebianPackage) mention nothing about a GPG signature, I'm inclined to believe none of the packages at http://debian.slimdevices.com are not signed with SlimDevices/Logitech/whoever's PGP key. Of course I could just answer "Yes" when prompted if I want to install the following unauthenticated packages, but I'd really rather be able to authenticate them. libdata-vstring-perl libdbix-migration-perl libenum-perl libfile-bom-perl libmpeg-audio-frame-perl libnet-upnp-perl libreadonly-perl libtie-cache-lru-expires-perl libtie-cache-lru-perl libtie-llhash-perl libxml-simple-perl libxml-xspf-perl slimserver Are there any plans to sign all these packages so that paranoid users (like myself) can be ensured that we're getting what we should be getting? Or do we simply need to "lighten-up" a bit and accept the fact that the packages are not signed? :-) I apologize if this is the wrong way or place to post this inquiry, but I'm new to the forum. On a side note -- however inappropriate -- it seems a bit unfair to me that only southern California residents and visitors can get a discount on the Squeezebox. If I had known about the BBQ earlier, I could have planned some time off of work and a trip to California. Of course all the trouble and travel costs would definitely offset the $50 savings... :-) http://forums.slimdevices.com/announcement.php?f=&a=1 -- bogusfart ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bogusfart's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12937 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38128 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
