I get this error:

W: GPG error: http://repo.steampowered.com precise InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F24AEA9FB05498B7

Tried to fix it like this:

drowz0r@Prime:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 24AEA9FB05498B7

But had this error:

Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.2z77UowfAV --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 24AEA9FB05498B7
gpg: "24AEA9FB05498B7" not a key ID: skipping

We released a new .deb this morning that installs the key for you. Did you use a .deb that you downloaded after 12 noon today?

Please create a package with the GPG key and add into the repo.
So people can more easily install the key.
I think it's better than using the postinst for that.

Drowz0r: you are missing the first character of the key.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F24AEA9FB05498B7

@humbertobz: According to @scottlu, they did.

scottlu, No, the Deb installer wouldn't work in 11.10 or 12.04 Ubuntu for me, I had to install from the terminal (reported in another thread).

Sorry, the above paste was after multiple trys, I did include the full "F24AEA9FB05498B7" previously but it didn't work.

Saying that, it's worked fine now, so I must have done it before the key was added?

Ran sudo apt-get update again and it worked with no errors.

Thank you all :+1:
