I am trying to update the guppy_basecaller (current version installed is 3.2.10+aabd4ec) on a ONT Gridion device. I am initially trying to update it via the nanopore PPA, as described here (requires login access to the nanopore community)
After I issued sudo apt update, I got a GPG error, saying that the public key was not found in the system.
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://europe.oxfordnanoportal.com/apt xenial-stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AD9D09AF2EBBA5A8W: An error occurred during the signature verification.

They have been ignored, or old ones used insteadI came across a possible solution shown here, so I tried to add the key to the system with the following command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AD9D09AF2EBBA5A8The terminal was busy for too long and, after some time I got an timeout error:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys AD9D09AF2EBBA5A8But then I got:

An alternative would be to install via the .tar.gz file, though I am first trying to upgrade the current version from the PPA to avoid conflicts with the current installation.
