api.opendesktop.org certificate has expired

[rokit]

Hi, when i tried to update system today through Muon Updater i get this message on checking updates:





However "sudo apt-get update" didn't warn me about anything. So apt is less secure?

What do i do now, will it be resolved by opendesktop.org soon, should i remind them, who are they in the first place?

Same thing happened to me.

Are we using Muon Discover? It looks like the opemndesktop.org cert is expired,. Opendesktop.org is where kde-look.org, gnome-look, and others are from, and this is where Discover gets its Plasma Widgets from. This is separate from the ubuntu repositories, so this will not effect normal software updates. If you are not comfortable seeing this error message, you can safely update using Muon Package Manager, the command line, or Synaptic, These don't get any software from opendesktop at all.

While not recommended, one can click the "continue" button and either temporarily or permanently allow it to update ifo from opendesktop, or cancel and continue on.

Again, this does not affect the ubuntu repos used by apt, etc. I tis just for third party plasma widgets, wallpapers, and such, so if you don't use that button at the bottom of Discover for them, you are OK.

I will guess that this will be fixed soon bu the opendesktop people.

Thanks for the clarify.
