re: new usb formatter installation.

Hi did "sudo apt-get update" to get the new usb formatter.

After all the output, last lines
""

However the install worked without errors.

If you added 3th party repository, you should install a public key too:

Code Select Expand

sudo gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv key_ID
sudo gpg --export key_ID | apt-key add -

Thanks Pavroo

I don't know enough about the gpg system -- Am I doing the request correctly?
I get this failure.

Try again, one, the last letter missing:

Code Select Expand

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 270309EB90127F5B
sudo gpg --export key_ID | apt-key add - 270309EB90127F5B

Hi,
Thanks Pavroo: sorry to waste your time. It nearly works now?
I need to find out more about this stuff.

The first command downloaded the key sucessufuly.
The second one is used wrong, should be (as root):

Code Select Expand

gpg --export 270309EB90127F5B | apt-key add -
Just change the"Key_ID" for the real key ID number.
