Synaptic not authenticated message


Posts: 14

All software that i mark for download comes up with the "not authenticated message" even products from openoffice??

Any ideas?

You can install the software

You can install the software anyhow. Mepis software is not authenticated. That means mepis guru has not registered it. It's good

Openoffice etc. displays this message if you have not registered the GPG key to your system

gpg key

a gpg key is a way of signing software to say it is authentic.
there are posts from about 6 months ago explaining how this system works, and how to install the keys.
I don't bother usually.
