Please try this again. There was a problem yesterday with the repo cloud server.

Still not working for me. I even tried deleting the key and re-adding it with no success.

I’m having the same issues. Here’s a temporary workaround (SECURITY WARNING) of ignoring the signatures and updating/upgrading the packages anyway.

sudo apt -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true update
sudo apt -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true upgrade

I’m still getting the error at 12:46pm CDT.

Thanks for checking in, I’ve just removed and readded the key for,the 5th time now. It was the first think i tried originally.

Same error

Thanks. I will forward again to the team.

Just came here to say the same. Using Mint 19.1 and server version is currently 1.16.1.1291. Using the update manager in Mint and keep getting this error:

Same thing for Ubuntu Server 18.04. Apt is giving me signatures invalid. Removed and re-added did not resolve the issue.

14

We have alerted the Build team. (Repo custodians

So far, I was not able to reproduce this (on a Ubuntu 19.04 system where I freshly added the key and installed an old .deb to trigger the update). Can you do

$ sudo apt-key list | grep -A1 -B2 Plex

and report back the output? @neuman1812

Not OP, but having same issue as others described here, attempted to delete and re-add key several times.
PMS lives on a linux mint system.

Output of

sudo apt-key list | grep -A1 -B2 Plex

I’m glad it’s working now for people, but I haven’t done anything :sweat_smile: We’ll keep an eye out!
