Updates Require Authentication [duplicate]

  • 772

My Update Manager in Ubuntu 12.04 pops up this message while installing updates: 'Requires installation of untrusted packages. The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources'. In Details: 'gnome-control-center gnome-control-center -data libgnome-control-center'

How to solve the problem?

Thankyou. :)

  1. You may have missing keys, this can easily be solved but first you need to run update to see what the missing key is.

    sudo apt-get update

    You will now get an error saying that some public key is not available. To add it just run:

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key>

    Replace with the key that the error when you did apt-get update showed. Example, Ubuntu default repositories key is 437D05B5

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 437D05B5
