Unknown public key when I trying to install linux-lts318 from AUR

klios · 2016-05-10 07:27:18

Hey guys. Im trying to upgrade my kernel, the problem is yaourt says both the linux-lts318 and the patch package have unknown public keys. It won't let me install it.

Can someone help me?
In the aur page for this package there's a comment about this problem, and the owner of that is not fixing it.

Thanks.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … e_checking

You may also want to enable auto key retrieval: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … _keyserver

I would've guessed the kernel files are signed by their developers... then I found this: https://www.kernel.org/category/signatures.html

WorMzy answer did it for me. I removed .sign files from pkgbuild and their current md5checksums and it worked.

Thanks.

Wow, that was a bad "solution" to a simple problem.

WorMzy · 2016-05-11 07:11:00

Yeah, I'm not sure where it said to do that in my links..

However, if you have solved your problem, please remember to update your topic title to reflect that.

Why it's bad? Can you give me an easy solution?

Thanks.

The easy solution was "enable auto key retrieval" as WorMzy suggested.
But you decided that was too hard, and instead you are going to download files and not check to see you safely downloaded the right ones without tampering, but jump straight to running the code.

I am finding it difficult to think offhand of any more dramatic change from a good situation to a terrible one.
Maybe, if you are determined to live dangerously and encourage bad things to happen, you could do something equally stupid like enable passwordless root ssh login to your computer, because it is too hard to remember passwords/ssh keys?

Eschwartz, please don't suggest people do that, even in jest as an example of a bad decision. I'd like to think nobody would be dumb enough to do something like that, but every day brings new surprises..

klios, actually read the links you have been directed to, and don't be a help vampire.
