Re: Big trouble with updates
Ok I got around this by changing the commands structure. I elimated the "keyserver keyring.ubuntu.com --recv-keys XXXXXXXXXXXXX" and just use
sudo apt-key update -(entered the key #'s), but I still get a error on a couple of requests. Got a few updates...will try somthing else. This is fun trying to figure all this stuff out. It helps me understand the program better.
