When I open Ubuntu Software, it shows me that there are some updates which have to be done. But after clicking them for several times, the installation process just doesn't work. I also tried to restart.

If I use the Software Updater it tells me this message:

If I click OK, the update ends. If I click settings all options are checked:

enter image description here

This whole update process was really not user friendly developed. Do you know what can be done else? I also tried the terminal sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade, there are still undone updates in the Software Center and the Software Updater!

The output of the terminal is:

W: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_16.04  Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
E: The repository 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_16.04  Release' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

PS: Who has marked this as duplicate? The so called duplicate is about why is Ubuntu Software showing these updates? Should I install them? My question is about how to install them? I can't install them because it doesnt work!

SOLUTION: For me the terminal, the software-center etc failed, but Synaptic Package Manger worked! Even if it makes no sense at all, because all these apps do the same thing. I hope Ubuntu could explain this to me.

  • If you are comfortable in a terminal environment, try running apt clean && apt autoclean

  • Have you been clicking on the "Settings" button on the second screenshot as well? Can you provide more detailed error messages, e.g. from the terminal?

I'd let go of the GUI first.

Open a terminal, e.g. by pressing CRTL+ALT+T and then run

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

    I'm pretty sure its CRTL + ALT + T?
