I don’t have a hardware controller myself, but I wonder if it’s related to the repository key update mentioned in this help article?

At this point it’s easier to do a power-on-reset by holding down reset while powering on the device, and wait for it to update to a firmware version that always has the new key integrated.

I will try that when I get back to the controller. I swear I searched and couldn’t find this information, glad it should be straightforward once I knew this.

This happened to me once. If my logs serve correct. The following resolved it assuming you have root ssh access

sudo apt-key del (your key)

curl -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/apt.alta.inc.gpg https://dl.alta.inc/do-not-distribute/apt.alta.inc.gpgI

sudo apt clean
sudo apt update

the JMSZuch article with the SSH fix got me to 1.1t which still wouldnt update any further, then i got to 1.1n by doing the hard reset but still wont update any further, any idea? . Just to note i only bought this hardware a few months ago on amazon, so might want to look at updating that stock if it hasnt been already.
