Hi, please leave a tip on how to install repository key, because now I’m getting this error message after apt-get update:
W: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6FE3AE1CC7D68E37
Instructions updated. Thanks for pointing out.
Good, any spanish traslation… ?
GRUB2 Editor is fully (100%) translated in Spanish, but unfortunately a bug introduced in version 0.5.5 prevents translations from getting loaded. Next version to be released will include it.
Great post and advice. Thanks a lot mate!
I have Mint 9 (Ubuntu 10.04) and can’t install/find package for this distro.
Please help
I’m sorry but the openSUSE Build Service doesn’t provide Mint repositories/packages. Try converting another package or poke your distro’s maintainers to create a proper package
Falló… me dice que recibi enlaces rotos.
Hello, I think this is a fantastic and essential addition to KDE. I put it on all my machines and my friends’ too.
I’ve upgraded to Kubuntu 12.04 and I notice that Muon is reporting:
Failed to download http://widehat.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ksmanis/xUbuntu_11.10/Packages
404 Not Found
Can you advise how to resolve this? Is there a new repo for 12.04?
Thank you!
Unfortunately, the openSUSE Build Service is a bit slow to roll out a 12.04 repo. Till then, try to manually install a .deb file from the links above.
In “Kubuntu 12.04 Precise”
1. Open Terminal (Konsole)
2. sudo apt-get install kde-config-grub2
Excellent! Thank you, I didn’t notice that it’s now in the main repos.
