Switching from windows to linux - config problems

[Michael Gomboc]

What distro are you running?

Please show what you added to your sources.list.

Is your Internet connection configured?

What is the output of:


gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89


After

gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

you should see that:

OK

I tested it right now with Ubuntu and there is no problem.

Regards,
Michael
