Title: [SOLVED] PGP check not working
Post by: 8igFATart1xxx on 04 January 2021, 04:17:31
Entering this command in my terminal in Linux Mint 20 Ulyana (Switching to Artix soon!) and I'm getting this error:

> gpg --auto-key-retrieve --verify artix-cinnamon-openrc-20210101-x86_64.iso.sig artix-cinnamon-openrc-20210101-x86_64.iso
gpg: Signature made Sun 03 Jan 2021 05:31:33 PM AST
gpg:                using RSA key A574A1915CEDE31A3BFF5A68606520ACB886B428
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

Been searching for a while. Does it have to do with my public key ring on my machine?

Thanks,

The error appears because your gpg can't contact your specified keyserver - this is a common issue with gpg, unfortunately. Try using another server in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf (I use keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net).

Code: [Select]
odysseus:[nous]:/srv/iso/iso%  gpg --auto-key-retrieve --verify artix-cinnamon-openrc-20210101-x86_64.iso.sig artix-cinnamon-openrc-20210101-x86_64.iso
gpg: Signature made Sun 03 Jan 2021 10:31:33 PM CET
gpg:                using RSA key A574A1915CEDE31A3BFF5A68606520ACB886B428
gpg: Good signature from "Christos Nouskas <[email protected]>" [ultimate]

This solved my problem.

I guess Ubuntu and therefore some of it's derivatives need a gnupg.conf created.

Thank you.

For me that's not working and i don't even have a gpg.conf file. Tried to publish my keys on the server but the process fails. I use seahorse to manage my keys

keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net).

there's also hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net .
and a more recent/stable keyserver : keys.openpgp.org (https://keys.openpgp.org/about/faq)

I always get "couldn't retrieve keys from server...bad request". Think there is something that i don't really understand. Have to read more about this one

This service is deprecated. This means it is no longer maintained, and new HKPS certificates will not be issued. Service reliability should not be expected.

Update 2021-06-21: Due to even more GDPR takedown requests, the DNS records for the pool will no longer be provided at all.

So is there a good suggestion for which keyserver to use in gpg.conf?

Thanks.  I had tried that without success, but I think it's actually OK, and my particular failure (for an AUR package that is probably out of date) had to do with the specific keys required, not the server itself.
