[R] X11 problem

[Karl Brand]

Hi Carol,

When i ran into this problem, using the instructions as guide from here:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

I did the following:

Went to this site: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/

searched for: 0xE084DAB9

Then clicked the hyperlinked "E084DAB9", copy, pasted and saved as .txt 
the contents of the entire page that your served by this link. This 
'key.txt' is then imported (via gui on 11.04 natty) by:

synaptic > settings > repositories > authentification tab > click 
'import key file' and select your saved 'key.txt'

Hope it works for you,

karl
