Thanks, Ryan. It's resolved now. When I got your email, I decided to do
something I probably should have thought of doing before. I went into my
Debian OS (which I am in the process of reinstalling) and I tried
retrieving the public keys using the signing keys from the same place (

Hi,
after updating the BIOS, I'm now met with warning/error messages every boot,
however it continues to boot normally.
There has since been one crash related to PCIe errors, but I'm not sure if
this was related to the BIOS update or "just" a driver bug.
Downgrading the BIOS to the previous ver

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. OT1H, from the context
I get the impression you're talking about DVD-R, but OTOH in 2020 the
assumption should rather be not to bother with DVDs any more.
What I'm looking for: I didn't do much research on this problem, I checked the
settings I could quickly find in Jessie, and did a google search or two on [].
I'm not looking for in depth help at this point, I have a workaround, I'm

Hello,
I try to use "Gnome software", it seems to be a very nice program for
end users to install software.
On one machine, often upgraded, it runs fine. It starts with normal user
rights, and if you want to install or remove a package it asks for a
root password and the package is installed or r

Ah, I just noticed that the screenshot program didn't include the
