Any ideas? I've tried a few solutions from google and they didn't help. Ubuntu 16.04
Thanks!

What ppa or repository are you getting them from? It looks like your system does not trust the pgp key (usually implemented on GNU/Linux as gpg) that was used to sign the packages.

If it's my repo, you must correctly install the repository key as shown in the instructions. If it still has problems, please show us the terminal output of the command to download and install the key.

Could be because they prefer apt, or that my repo has a few other packages that are patched for Pale Moon support, such as oxygen-gtk and mozplugger.

Could you show us the results of the commands to download and install the repository key?
Code: Select all
rm -f Release.key && wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:stevenpusser/xUbuntu_16.04/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update
