    This just means that the packages haven't been 'signed' by the developer/package maintainer, or the signature hasn't been imported (see claydoh's comment on this). Generally, if the packages were installed previously by you, then go ahead and click the Continue button.

      This sort of message can happen if one manually adds a ppa entry to their sources.list file without also importing it's gpg authentication key as well.

        Thank you for responding.

        Since I am using the Update Manager, I assume that all updates replace existing software.

        I received another update today and was not given the chance to enter my password. I received the following message when trying to install a different set of updates from the above mentioned (these updates were not installed and have not yet reappeared).

        The latest message reads:

        'Authentication Error'

        'This operation cannot continue since proper authorisation was not provided'.

        As stated, I did not received the password utility box!

          I've had this happen on (rare) occasion, in my 14.04 and in versions previous to 14.04. I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I do know that it tends to clear up (somehow). Sometimes, I ignore it for a couple days.

          In general, when things like this happen, and feeling like I should do something, I start doing things. Like open, then close Muon. Open Muon, click Check for updates. Close Muon. Re-boot your computer. Especially re-boot and see if anything changes (for the better, that is).

          There is no evidence that your permissions are goofed up (the .Xauthority thing & etc.). Another thing one can play with is to try to fix Apt. However, in your case, there is no evidence that Apt is stuck or broken. In any case, I'm fairly certain this can't hurt, and it gives you something to try. This is kind of a standard formula you'll see around here, although some users modify the sequence of these commands (the question being apt-get update, where to put it and why and when). No matter, at Konsole:

          sudo dpkg --configure -a
          Then do:
          sudo apt-get update
          Then do:
          sudo apt-get -f install

          (Then, maybe, try to open Muon and Check for updates again ...)

            Thanks for responding.

            I ended up rebooting the machine.

            After the reboot, the update icon appeared and I started the update, but this time the authentication box appeared and I completed the update.

            Still no sign of that unverified package (top of thread).

            Best wishes.

                That update at the head of this thread has re-appeared, but it is still unverified. Should not the author verify this package?

                  Yes, and they probably are - and since this doesn't happen with every package upgrade, I'm guessing it's from a ppa. Usually the authentication keys are imported when using add-apt-repository, or (iirc) adding the "ppa:" url via the Software Sources configuration found in muon. Manually adding a line into the sources.list file does not also import the keys.

                  To see what's missing, next time you see this, don't update via muon, and instead run apt-get update and dist-upgrade in a terminal. This will give us a more informative error and tell us what key is missing. We can then import it, and it will be fine after that

                    Thank you for the information.

                    Just to check my understanding.

                    The next time I will start a terminal - does this need to sudo or just a terminal?

                    Type: apt-get update dist-upgrade return
                    This should update and upgrade or give messages.

                    Best wishes.

                      use sudo.

                      Yes, it will fetch update information, and when it tries to do an update, it will complain about unverified packages and the warning message will tell us specifically which key is missing, which is pretty easy to import once we know.

                        this will update the package list and upgrade the packages AND/OR give messages of problems.

                            Wrong command. Correct commands are:

                            sudo apt-get update
                            sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


                            You can combine them on one line:

                            sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
                            Windows no longer obstructs my view.

                              I note that some of the installed packages are no longer required!

                              Should I type:

                              apt-get autoremove

                              Do I need sudo?


                              Thanks
