Hello, RE: The Perfect Desktop - Debian Etch (Debian 4.0) I followed the tutorial and would like to know if anyone knows why the following error pops up when running Synaptic Package Manager: W: GPG error: http://www.getautomatix.com etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B87687BBB9E1273B Thank you for your time and help. Brian
Its because you dont have the key that was used to sign the packages do this to fix it Code: wget http://www.getautomatix.com/keys/automatix2.key gpg --import automatix2.key gpg --export --armor E23C5FC3 | sudo apt-key add -
Hi topdog and sjau, A) I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I didn't get that error when I ran Synaptic Package Manager as I wrote in my post. I got the error when I run apt-get update. topdog, I ran the commands you told me about previously when I installed Debian following the instructions in the The Perfect Desktop - Debian Etch. Thanks though. I tried to be accurate with the following information. The end result being I'm going to uninstall Automatix2.

Done W: GPG error: http://www.getautomatix.com etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B87687BBB9E1273B W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems D) I searched the forum at http://www.getautomatix.com and found a post that may have something to do with my errors. But, I don't know enough about Automatix to know if the post below has anything to do with the errors I'm getting but here's the link to the post at getautomatix.com/forum: http://tinyurl.com/2b5dhb If that link doesn't work try, http://www.getautomatix.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1798&hl=NO_PUBKEY E) I think the instructions in the Perfect Desktop tutorial imply that Automatix2 is needed. The instructions are: In the left window you see all available package groups (File Sharing, Web Browsers, etc.), and in the right window there are all packages that belong to the package group and that can be installed by Automatix. Select the following packages for installation: * Skype * AUD-DVD Codecs * Flash Player * MPlayer and FF Plugin * Multimedia Codecs * Sun Java 1.5 JRE * DVD Ripper * RealPlayer * Automatix read/write NTFS and FAT32 Mounter * Extra Fonts * Acrobat Reader * Google Earth * Google Picasa * Opera Browser So, I assumed Debian must need Automatix2. With Automatix2 I installed some cool programs like Brasero and Skype. But was unable to install the Multimedia Codecs and that's basically what I wanted. I got errors when installing "Multimedia Codecs" and "Swiftfox Plugins". I got same errors when trying to install only "Multimedia Codecs". I got same errors when trying to install only "Swiftfox Plugins". I got same errors when trying to install only "Swiftfox Browser".
