Ubuntu 10.10 release-upgrade fails



Just tried to upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 using "do-release-upgrade" from console and fails:
Error is:





alex@spse:/# do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198B]
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1306kB]
Fetched 1307kB in 0s (0B/s)

exception from gpg: GnuPG exited non-zero, with code 2
Debug information:

gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
Authentication failed
Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server.

Any ideas?



Thanks,

Alex



Using Eliah Kagan link then command:



sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 437D05B5 3E5C1192


do-release-upgrade seems to work;



Even so, I don't know how safe it is to upgrade over ssh.
My current config is: ubuntu 10.10 installed on physical disk, and booted with vmware-player from windows 7.




Any ideas/suggestions?



Thanks,
Alex
