Just installed ubuntu 15.10 but as soon as I try to do sudo apt-get update, following error occurs:

W: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org  Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 977C43A8BA684223
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily-updates/main/source/Sources  Hash Sum mismatch

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages  Hash Sum mismatch

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/wily-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages  Hash Sum mismatch

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Here is /etc/apt/sources.list

#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 15.10 _Wily Werewolf_ - Release amd64 (20151021)]/ wily main restricted

The error message you got:

W: GPG error: http://download.opensuse.org Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 977C43A8BA684223

Means you have to add that missing key 977C43A8BA684223 by redownloading the keys first:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys

Then type:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 977C43A8BA684223 
sudo apt-get update
0

I believe you're missing keys from the Ubuntu key server. Try this:

# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 977C43A8BA684223
