Plex GPG error: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available

Plex Debian Repo GPG Error

Recently while I was attempting to run a standard聽 apt-get update聽on a personal server, I received an error regarding the Plex repository, something about signature couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available.

Thankfully though, I have seen this type of error before, and it’s very easy to fix …聽

This was the specific error that I got:

 

So what I did was to browse that repository and look to see if another key was available. 聽So if you went to this URL (聽http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/ ) you would see that a new key was added on April 28, 2016 … which was the exact date I had this issue! 聽Ah ha!

http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell.nintghate.se.gpg.key

Now that we have found the new key, all we need to do is download it, and add it using聽 apt-key聽. 聽Let’s take this step by step to make it easy…

Download New Key

Install New Key

Clean APT and Run Update

Profit!
