Ohhhh!!!! So Close!
Folowed your suggestion just got to the bit of configuring airtime and....

Setting up apache2...
Apache 2.4 detected, using newer access configuration...
sed: can't read /etc/airtime/apache24.vhost.tpl: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package airtime (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-10ubuntu2) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 airtime
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
gnfb@Vostro-400:~$

any ideas?

I always recommend using this method

http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/automated-installation/

The only caveat you have to know is how to install via teminal.

Its like 5 minutes this way(depending on certain conditions)

404 represents no link to the url. but if i am sure i saw a trusty distribution in the airtime repositres.

Good Luck

Voisses

LOL so if I didnt feel stupid enough "its like 5 minutes this way" 3 days I have been working on this not all the time granted but. I only will use it for one purpose to run a radio station test to guage interest if it works i will have it setup on a better connection and server
I see a few people have read or looked at the problem you are so far the only one to respond . Am i asking the wrong way or are they saying screw that he hasnt got a clue could take to much time to explain. I also wonder if i started form scratch but with out formatting the drive and reinstalling ubuntu I wouldnt know where to bein to remove what has been done. Oh why could not have been in windows!!!! any suggestions or help welocome or a forget it! :)

Now once you open the terminal type this (you want to clear and remove all configuration files for airtime)

sudo apt-get remove airtime && sudo apt-get purge airtime && sudo apt-get autoremove

It will ask for your password. and then run the procedure.

after its all finished (lets place the repositories in our list of source to get files

sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list

The tutorial will say sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list .they are the same command
pico comes as default editor, nano you might have to install

Now follow the rest of the procedure here http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/automated-installation/

Now key things to note is change the source list to your version of ubuntu like here

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ lucid main

Change the lucid 

For Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, and For Ubuntu 14.04 use Trusty

there is no 12.10 Quantal, 13.04 Raring or 13.10 Saucy so do not use them .

If you follow the rest of the procedure you will see the time I recommend is about
that amount.

Like I said if you uninstall it should reinstall and you will see

Let  me know your challenges.

Wish you the Best.

Ps. I do not know the intent of others,but I guess most are busy for holidays coming
up so I hope I can make do to take you over the threshold to familiarity

ok I think i see

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ lucid main

Change the lucid 

For Ubuntu 12.04 Precise, and For Ubuntu 14.04 use Trusty

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ Trusty main   correct?

my version .14.10 and returns Utopic


deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ Utopic main  or should it be this?

There is no Airtime Package for Utopic 14.10 therefore you cannot do

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ Utopic main  #do not do this

Since There is a package for Trusty you could try that instead like this

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ Trusty main # do this instead

now when you get the public key error you need to sign the package  by running this command

sudo apt-get install sourcefabric-keyring

then

sudo apt-get update

You should not see the error again

Then install Airtime 

sudo apt-get install airtime

While the script is running it will configure your database and icecast so 

Ignore the database setup and Icecast setup as mention in the Manual

Please note my word of caution below

VOISSES

For All NOOB and Person Installing Airtime.

While it is tempting to use the latest version of debian or ubuntu.Do not do so unless you are experimenting.

Its best to use the Latest stable in the Case of debian 7 its WHEEZY AND For Ubuntu it is TRUSTY 14.04.

I however recommend 12.04 as it has been around long enough.

There are sometime many changes like in php and postgres that can make installation a problem

Airtime Available Packages at the time of writing

UBUNTU

lucid                 
 precise
 trusty


Debian             
 squeeze               
 wheezy/          

These are the only one you can use

VOISSES

Just so you don't the people in NZ are complete losers (mind you we did give the world Peter Jackson!)
1hour 20mins Icecast /shoutcast/winamp installed and broadcasting Moral of the story use what you know never try to learn anything new.......no that cant be right??

Ahh yes the edison theory if at first you dont succeed try another couple of hundred times

It will be one of those, if you actually saw it , "Oh no you have to do this " or "were you standing on one foot when you hit the enter key....everyone knows that!"

thanks again

and as ned kelly  said

"Such is Life"

Hi Graham, thanks for the report of the 404, the website has been moved around recently so I will fix that link.

There are a couple of issues with your /etc/apt/sources.list file. The first is that you should comment out any lines containing the URL:

http://apt.sourcefabric.org/dists/utopic

because that repository does not exist (yet). The second is that 'Trusty' should actually have a lower case 't', because these URLs are case sensitive. Please edit the line you have added to say only:

deb http://apt.sourcefabric.org/ trusty main

then save the file and run apt-get update again. That should get you back on track.

Cheers!

Daniel

Hi, thanks for all the information above! I have successfully fixed everything now.
