The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys  9D6D8F6BC857C906

Seems this doesn't (always) work, so

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <yourkey>

which will complain about deprecation, but it should work

Instead of trying to find that mysterious button, try

check-language-support

which will list missing packages
