I use the Geany Text Editor as my programing/txt file editor. I installed it from a Launchpad PPA. When updating I kept getting the error "This requires installing packages from unauthenticated sources". A quick Google search for this found this fix which worked.
Open a terminal window and type the following three steps;
Step 1.
sudo apt-get update
This will give you your KEYNUMBER that is giving you problems.
your failed KEYNUMBER will look something like 71240B8FB3641876.
Step 2.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEYNUMBER
Substitute KEYNUMBER with the your failed keys.
Step 3.
sudo apt-get update
click on OK when the Update Window appears.
That's it you should be good to go. Sorry I fixed mine before I could get screen shots.
A devoted MS Windows user gives up all his Windows machines to explore Ubuntu 6.1 Linux for 30 days. If I can't figure out how to do it with Linux I just won't do it. (This was from Nov 1 to Dec 1, 2006, I have continued to use Ubuntu beyond those 30 days and now will try to post how-to's, help, and other Linux (Ubuntu) thoughts here)

Kill All Wine Processes (Command Line)
Sometimes Wine programs crash and leave some processes running making it hard to restart them. Here's a nice command line program that kills ALL Wine processes and reports what it killed. This command lets me just restart whatever Wine program crashed without doing a reboot of my computer.
wineserver -k; killall -9 wine wineserver; for i in `ps ax|egrep "*\.exe"|grep -v 'egrep'|awk '{print $1 }'`;do kill -9 $i;done
I made this command into a Bash Script so I could use it without having to retype or copy/paste it every time I want to use it.
Here's the video where I found this command and it tells you how to make this command into a Bash Script.
