    Isn’t there a keyfile needed when using the repository?

    W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 632D16BB0C713DA6

  • Eric

    This doesn’t work because of the signatures can’t be verified due to no public key being available. don’t waste your time.

  • Will

    This didn’t work for me, I got the same error message as Manuel.
