I've been having some unrelated driver issues on my netbook so I've had to re-install Debian a few times, when I tried to add the etcher repo this is what I ran into above ^
Any ideas how I can get this thing working?

[karl69942]

Oh that's funny, its working now. not sure why it kept failing. Sorry! Can't understand why it would just suddenly start to work again... ah well!

[lurch]

Might just have been a temporary failure on the pgp.mit.edu server?

[karl69942]

Honestly I am not sure. I kept trying it & it kept failing, I came back to it a little later, just after making this thread, and it suddenly started working.. Weird.

Mine still fails on Debian 9 stretch 64 bit as below.

W: GPG error: https://dl.bintray.com/resin-io/debian stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 379CE192D401AB61

Kindly assist.

I have the same error @djkerya

[lurch]

@djkerya @maximeaudy Looks like you're following outdated instructions? https://github.com/balena-io/etcher#debian-and-ubuntu-based-package-repository-gnulinux-x86x64 uses the Ubuntu keyserver rather than the MIT keyserver.

[djkerya]

@lurch have you seen my comment? Since when pgp.mit.edu is ubuntu keyserver?

[djkerya]

@lurch I was able to add the key some time later, but have tried maybe 10 times getting this error.

[lurch]

@djkerya Yes, I did see your comment. You seem to be trying to use hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 but the instructions at https://github.com/balena-io/etcher#debian-and-ubuntu-based-package-repository-gnulinux-x86x64 suggest using keyserver.ubuntu.com (the instructions were changed by #2319 in May 2018).
