Hello,

I discovered a dictation software called Vocalinux and I’d like to install it, but I keep failing. It tells me that Git could not be installed.

So, I tried another method and I obtained the following:

Installation Summary

Sorry, I still wanted to play the mad scientist.

Could you please help me?

Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    In this part Of the Linux Section or Vocalinux, I truly think MamieMando is the specialist in everything related to this Ubuntu/Linux world etc...

    Hello

    Line Err: 7

    The ProtonVPN public key is missing or has expired. This blocks the apt update command, so it is impossible to install your software as-is.

    Here is the command to run to install a new public key:

     sudo apt-key adv --keyserver ://ubuntu.com --recv-keys EDA3E22630349F1 

    Verify that the apt update command now completes without error.

    Hello Didi64_549,

    Yes, Mamiemando has often helped me, Winux and Jns55 and Brucine and others as well. :)

    Hello Jns55,

    Thanks for your reply and for your help.

    I copied and pasted your command into the terminal, but I get an error:

    "arning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
    Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.yBdJ9ydSy6/gpg.1.sh --keyserver ://ubuntu.com --recv-keys EDA3E22630349F1
    gpg: impossible d'analyser l'URL du serveur de clefs"

    Note that I opened the terminal, and I just entered your command, or wasn't that how I was supposed to do it? Sorry, I'm still not very good at Linux.

    Thanks.

      It was too easy...

      So we'll try with the ProtonVPN .deb package:

       wget https://repo.protonvpn.com/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-all/protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.8_all.deb sudo dpkg -i ./protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.8_all.deb sudo apt update

    Hello Jns55,

    Your command lines worked, thank you very much.

    Well then, the Vocalinux installation was incredibly long, with dozens and dozens of command lines scrolling by...
