Hansen http://nighthawk.co.za/?p=414 Well, I can’t believe how time has flown, Cecilia and I split up end of October last year, and we were still staying together till the end of the lease. I found a new place end of November, and now finally get to move in :)

So now instead of driving 100Km a day (from Durbanville to Tokai), I am now gonna be driving 10Km a day :) <– AWESOME!!!

And now I’m closer to the beach, it’s like a 10min drive, on a busy day :) so will be spending alot more time there, and when Catelyn comes to visit she will also, she loves “THE BEACH” as she puts it… hehe…

So as one part of my life finally comes to a close, another starts up…

Now finally I’ll have more time to spend on the stuff I love, and hopefully I will be able to start contributing to the Debian comunity.

New things to learn, new people to meet, new experiences to experience… #ROCKON #AWESOME

Hansen http://nighthawk.co.za/?p=357 So I had a mirror up and running beautifully, and then after running the update scripts I lost the GPG authentication.

I was getting the following errors:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
foo bar baz
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?

I struggled for a while to get this to work, and then gave up, but I finally got this sorted out :)

Firstly as the user running the mirror script:
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys

I needed to add the following keys:
16BA136C – Backports.org Archive Key
55BE302B – Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny)
F42584E6 – Lenny Stable Release Key
55BE302B – Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny)
0C5A2783 – Medibuntu Packaging Team
1F41B907 – Christian Marillat
437D05B5 – Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
6DFBCBAE – Sun Microsystems, Inc. (xVM VirtualBox archive signing key)
BBE55AB3 – Debian-Volatile Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch)

The Medibuntu key was a little strange to get as noted on this post: How To: Make Your Own Ubuntu Repository DVDs

Also removed the “–ignore-release-gpg” option from the scripts, this will at least warn me the next time something like this happens… ;)

And then run the mirror scripts again and voila
