Updates Check fails; also apt-get update fails

    Thanks, but not out of the woods yet: E: Unable to locate package openmediavault-keyring


    I get that I screwed up something; all I was doing was trying to install chrome and chrome remote desktop. That's what I get for straying off the plantation, I guess. Ha-hah! Or maybe more accurate: that's what I get for screwing around without a good understanding.


    Maybe it'd be cleaner to just do a fresh install of 3.x. What do you think?

    Yes. Your repo must be disabled.

    omv 7.4.10-1 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.8 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.14 | compose 7.2.14 | k8s 7.3.1-1 | cputemp 7.0.2 | mergerfs 7.0.5 | scripts 7.0.9


    omv-extras.org plugins source code and issue tracker - github - changelogs


    Please try ctrl-shift-R and read this before posting a question.

    Please put your OMV system details in your signature.
    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

    If you must install the google-chrome repositories,I would recommend testing the configuration using virtualization, like VirtualBox, before trying it out again. You might have some luck using aptitude (which is a more featureful interface for apt-get and related tools) from the commandline to resolve dependencies in an interactive manner (ie. select no to any conflicts).


    But, if you are just wanting GUI access to the OMV box I believe there are some plugins in omv-extras which would facilitate this-- you would be looking for the RDP plugin called openmediavault-remotedesktop. It may also be trivial to install something like tightVNC or if you're not so technically inclined RealVNC would be the best choice (RealVNC should set everything up for you without much fuss, tightVNC would probably require a bit more work on your end, RealVNC also has nice clients for mobile/desktop use).


    Cheers.

    I also get a similar error.


    My apt list inputs is:

    Can someone please help me to amend this?
