upgrade software-installation google-chrome ppa signature

Solution 1

Open a terminal and enter the following:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

That will import Google's updated GPG Key.

You should be able to update the system without any errors.

Solution 2

This site has the only solution that worked for me on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/fix-failed-to-fetch-google-chrome-apt-error-ubuntu

(Here's a summary. Please see the site for more detail)

  1. Edit google-chrome.list (assuming you’re on the Stable Channel, if not, see the featured comment on the site):

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

  2. In the text file that opens edit the file so that the line reads:

    deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

  3. Try update again

    sudo apt-get update

Solution 3

This will work better than these solutions:

apt-key list google

You will see this on this list, take not [E] means expired and look at the last 7FAC 5991

pub   dsa1024 2007-03-08 [SC]
      4CCA 1EAF 950C EE4A B839  76DC A040 830F 7FAC 5991
uid           [ unknown] Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key <[email protected]>
sub   elg2048 2007-03-08 [E]

pub   rsa4096 2016-04-12 [SC]
      EB4C 1BFD 4F04 2F6D DDCC  EC91 7721 F63B D38B 4796
uid           [ unknown] Google Inc. (Linux Packages Signing Authority) <[email protected]>
sub   rsa4096 2016-04-12 [S] [expires: 2019-04-12]

You will do now:

sudo apt-key del 7FAC5991

Then you will do these commands:

sudo apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
sudo mv lists lists.old
sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

And after that's done you will do this to install keyring from another keyserver:

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

And then you do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now you are all set. :)

Solution 4

I had to download the key file from Google https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ and import it into the software sources authentication.

Upon re-running Sudo Apt Update I was given the option to respond to the question

    Is this bit:

    Anything to worry about? I ran the commands again and now it says:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  google-chrome-stable
1 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
Need to get 48.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 4,096 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

    So what does this mean and should I trust this upgrade? This upgrade is from a PPA that Google Chrome added when I installed it from the official Google page for it.

    Here is more information about that PPA:

    The problem is that is failing too, randomly. My build is running on TravisCI and some of them are failing for the same reason. I correctly install the key exactly like what you've shown above. It just started recently. =(

    Thank you this worked for me no more complaints about invalid GPG key and a new version of Google Chrome in updates.

    I made the same on my Kubuntu 15.04. The gpg --recv-keys command only worked for me after add "0x" before the BADSIG number. So, the command was gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0xA040830F7FAC5991

    I keep getting timeout errors with hkp://subkeys.pgp.net - I used hkp://gpg.mit.edu and that works.

    It points you to the 64 bit releases of Chrome. More details in the linked article.

    This helped me, although my error was different from the OP. It was W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release: Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

    Worked for me on 15.10 as is, with no modifications to keyid or url.

    After deleting the keys the 'apt-get clean; apt-get update' step, I get the error 'W: GPG error: dl.google.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A040830F7FAC5991 NO_PUBKEY 1397BC53640DB551;' What else can I try?

    I don't think this question is neccessary at all, deleting expired keys is fun but it's not useful. Anyway, I updated to show how it works. Aslo that simple command provided by google does the same thing a lot easier. this still doesn't work for me.

    The other answers didn't cut it for me - this should be marked as the correct answer
