KGpg setting for importing public keys

linuxbeliever · 06-11-2007, 03:14 PM

Hi everybody!

I would like to use KGpg to import my sources.list public keys because is easier to manage them in it. This are the commands that I use in konsole:

# gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys KEY
# gpg --export --armor KEY | apt-key add -

So what settings in KGpg do I have to change to mange my public key for my sources.list.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Note: I use KDE desktop. I'm using KGpg 1.2.2 on KDE 3.5.3

There is a setting in the Kgpg configuration to add addition keyring perhaps you could add apt-keys or doing a quick search leads to gui-apt-key that manages the apt-0key keyring graphically probably your best bet.

Code:

>$ apt-cache search apt-key
gui-apt-key - Graphical Key Manager for APT

>$ apt-cache show  gui-apt-key

Thanks for the reply happytux!

"There is a setting in the Kgpg configuration to add addition keyring" that's the one that I want, where is it and what is it? I can try gui-apt-key but KGpg seems easier to manage keys. So where and what to put in KGpg?

Thanks in advance.
