I don't know when was the last time I got an update, so this has been a problem for a while. I don't get any updates for anything, and if I go into the update manager and press refresh, I get an error. It's something about how there's not a public key available. The error tells me to check my internet connection, but my internet is working just fine for every other program.

check results of inxi -Sr and show plz

obtuse urchin
#

okay

cobalt scarab
#

remove the dbgsym one if you don't really need it

#

as for the way to sign the gpg thing, you'll have to google the isntructions for the vscode ms repo

wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > microsoft.gpg
sudo install -D -o root -g root -m 644 microsoft.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/microsoft.gpg
rm microsoft.gpg
#

why tf do they randomly feel the need to update the key

modest oracle
obtuse urchin
#

okay

#

That didn't work

modest oracle
#

goddamnit

#

same error?

obtuse urchin
#

yeah

modest oracle
#

can you cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.sources

obtuse urchin

modest oracle
#

oh yeah, it's cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

obtuse urchin
#

okay

modest oracle
#

lawd where's the singed-by thing

obtuse urchin
#

Is something wrong with Visual Studio Code?

#

I can get rid of it for right now

modest oracle
#

@obtuse urchin i'm going to need you to sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list and after the arch=a,b,c add a space and add signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/microsoft.gpg

modest oracle
obtuse urchin
#

Like this? Now what?

cobalt scarab
#

ctrl-o and enter

#

then exit

obtuse urchin
#

Okay, the update manager is different now

modest oracle
#

no not there

#

the signed-by needs to be in the []

#

so it should look like [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/microsoft.gpg]

obtuse urchin
#

okay

#

Okay, so it gives this error, but it actually gave me an update Visual Studio Code anyway

#

Okay, it seems to be fine now

#

Thank you!
