I am also getting the pubkey errors when reloading the synaptic manager:

W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org oldstable Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B

Any ideas?

Hi,
I have a Eeepc 901 with SSD(4G system and 16G storage)
I started to install vlc using the exact procedure I found above. It appears that I have no more space left on the system disk and the instalation ends in error:
“Unpacking replacement libc6 …
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb (–unpack):
failed in buffer_write(fd) (9, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/lib/gconv/libCNS.so’: No space left on device
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
/> sudo apt-get install vlc
Reading package lists… Error!
E: Unable to write mmap – msync (28 No space left on device)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.”
Can someone help me?

Thanks

When I reloaded the synaptic package manager that Grumble talked about I got this:

W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org oldstable Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B

I really have no idea what’s going on…

Anyone?

For those who have the following error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
vlc: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0) but 2.8.20-7 is to be installed
Depends: libnotify1 (>= 0.4.4) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnotify1-gtk2.10
Depends: libwxgtk2.6-0 (>= 2.6.3.2.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

grumble’s explanation above was the one that solved the package dependency error problems for me. not a lot of tweaking, just type “vlc” in the console when you’re done. Sucks that I read through pages of failure to get to his instructions that actually worked in my case.

why is this so freakin hard? how was i to know i was buying a puter to force me to learn programming? asus i’m on the third eee pc after having had to send two back and just finally found how to restore factory settings to stop the screens cycling endlessly and now the mplayer is stopped again. I’m thinkin i’ve spent so much time just trying to make the thing work that i might spend some time bad mouthing asus in every forum i can can find.

If i have to code in stuff just to play audio (and i have searched and found about twenty versions unsuccessfully) then asus is using customers as beta testers and maybe i can warn folks.
