After the software updater pops up with some downloads as usual , I tried to download but after authentication a message says " Requires installation of untrusted packages This requires installing packages from unauthenticated sources" and when I hit the O.K button it does not update. Again the next day same thing happens ,the software updater pops up. I could not update. How do I fix this issue? The screen shot is below. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. Thanks.

Try to update (apt-get update) from terminal, see what's failing, and then use the software sources to disable whatever is failing.

I often do the "apt-get update" from the terminal but whatever is failing I am reluctant to see and disable the failing.How do I do that. Thanks for your prompt reply. Dec 2, 2014 at 14:31

Sorry, I meant what does the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) respond with when you try sudo apt-get update? Dec 2, 2014 at 14:49

O.K, First it asks for my P.W and then it starts updating ,I have no idea what or which packages or software it updates. Dec 2, 2014 at 14:55
My 14.04 just got that same issue. It's unbelievable they cannot fix that!
Solution is to open terminal and run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
I wonder how average users and moms will handle this. I also wonder what excuse prevents the software updater from running those same commands..
