What you need to know: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu After adding the sources list downloaded from here... http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list ...this "magic line" is supposed to do the trick: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update The "update" fetches the list of packages from the new repository. The "install medibuntu-keyring" then installs the GPG key that is used to sign the medibuntu packages. What you may want to understand: Apparently, the package medibuntu-keyring is either signed by Ubuntu's "master" key, or the user must be talked into ignoring the NO_PUBKEY warning (hopefully not!) What the second "update" accomplishes I'm not sure of. Someone with greater insight in dpkg and apt may explain that, if they like to... Linux distributions are designed to be walled gardens. Not primarily for the benefit of the distributions, but for the benefit of developers and users. We don't have antivirus, we have a web of trust. Certain choices, like adding a new key to the list of trusted signers, are too arcane for a novice. I prefer users coming to a forum and asking real people for advice when they are faced with that decision. So I'm glad you asked here. :-) -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
