   I don't know what to do with this.   
   I could thy to copy the waydroid.gpg in the keyrings folder but the   
   repositories ?? lets not forget I read that they changed the place to   
   store the repositories in this 24.04 version.   
   Chaos as usual.

   How do I check and change the permissions?   
   The keyrings folder is there.

   And here I am thinking ( not really ) that stuff would actually work   
   under Ubuntu.   
   BTW at this moment I don't care about security, I have a virtual Ubuntu   
   and if all went into hell, I restore in less then 1 minute.
