Update old version

Greetings,
I am running q4os version 1.8.8 on an old hp laptop.  I haven't run this machine in awhile and when I try to get updates via the update manager I get an error code 100 message and the update stops.  When I try to update via the terminal I get the following message:

An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A87FF9DF48BF1C90

What are my options to upgrade/update the OS on this computer?

Thanks!!!!!

You need to update Q4OS keyring, run in terminal:
$ wget -nv -O- http://q4os.org/q4repo/q4a-q4os.gpg.pub | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

Re: Update old version

After running the first line to add the key I get:

2019-03-18 08:26:43 URL:http://q4os.org/q4repo/q4a-q4os.gpg.pub [1666/1666] -> "-" [1]
OK

Then after running the update command I get:

338 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A87FF9DF48BF1C90

W: Failed to fetch http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/InRelease

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
sudo

Then after the upgrade command I get this:

Err http://repository.spotify.com/ stable/non-free spotify-client amd64 1:1.0.77.338.g758ebd78-41
  404  Not Found [IP: 13.249.94.17 80]
E: Failed to fetch http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non- … _amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 13.249.94.17 80]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: Update old version

Well, you also need to update Spotify keyring:
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 931FF8E79F0876134EDDBDCCA87FF9DF48BF1C90

Or remove the Spotify repository from system. Edit Spotify related file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory and comment out the "deb ..." line.

Please see https://www.spotify.com/cz/download/linux/

Re: Update old version

Thanks for your help.  I was able to remove some leftover crap from spotify that must have been attached to wine....and bla bla bla...but your help led me there.  I've always thought the support for this OS was impressive.  Thanks!!!

Hi, Q4OS Team!

I tried the above code you provided and it didn't work. This is the result:

wget -nv -O- http://q4os.org/q4repo/q4a-q4os.gpg.pub | sudo apt-key add -
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).

OK

How should I change the command? I checked the forum and searched and googled yet I couldn't find any clear instructions on how to do it.
