Have a problem - can't update Ubuntu. Via Software updater i have "Check your internet connection" message. Via Terminal:

    sudo apt-get update

E: The repository 'http://repo.steampowered.com/steam stable InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I've tried one solution, which is:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys F24AEA9FB05498B7
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.k7KsmtABvG/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys F24AEA9FB05498B7
gpg: key F24AEA9FB05498B7: "Valve Corporation <linux@steampowered.com>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

And this does nothing. Pls send help! I am out of ideas! So does Google!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
