yeah, I was able to grab the needed keys from the ubuntu key server and then add them to /etc/apt/keyrings/ and update the sources files to reference them. ---

I haven’t had any APT gpg errors. The only APT related issue I’ve had so far was when updating temporarily broke my WiFi, but i was already expecting that from other peoples posts. ---

I got the CM4 model, and im still using the default image that shipped with it while I tinker on a separate SD card. This is unrelated to the topic, but I must say the WiFi on the CM4 model is unreliable AF and the Bluetooth is _terrible_. I am actually getting worse WiFi connection and more drops when telling it to use the external antenna using `dtparam=ant2` and unless I have the top back part of the uConsole pointed at my BT receiver i cant even use it for connecting a mouse and keyboard. ---

I have the A06, and it had the key errors. ---

Could you walk me through how to do this please? I have attempted it and got nowhere. A06, on freshly imaged SD card I have tried in the command line and in the gui to import the keys but apt update still fails saying missing public key. ---

Sure. First, copy the key ID from the error message. It will look something like: “648ACFD622F3D138” Then grab that key: ```auto gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEYID ``` Next, export the key as a file: ```auto gpg --export KEYID > REPONAME.gpg ``` Then copy it to the keyrings directory: ```auto sudo cp REPONAME.gpg /etc/apt/keyrings/REPONAME.gpg ``` Then edit the appropriate apt sources file to reference the keys: ```auto echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/REPONAME.gpg] https://somerepo.com/apt stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/REPONAME.list ``` I just went in and edited the files so the URL and everything was correct Finally, delete the old keys from the trusted gpg db if any: ```auto sudo apt-key del KEYID ``` ---
