I make/created a file in my home folder for this key.

The name of the file is ' mandriva-free-2007-tyr-CD.x86_64.md5.asc.txt '

[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]# ls

mandriva-free-2007-tyr-CD.x86_64.md5.asc.txt

----------------------------------------------------

[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]# gpg --import 'mandriva-free-2007-tyr-CD.x86_64.md5.asc.txt'
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]#

What is the problem?

Gins	09-03-2006 02:44 PM

Stephen
I didn't download from the site you mentioned. I downloaded from the following Swedish FTP site.

http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distri...iso/x86_64/CD/

The file is the following one.

mandriva-free-2007-tyr-CD.x86_64.md5.asc 31-Aug-2006 20:13 454

That file is only a "signed message". It's NOT a key file at all.

Cheers,
Tink

You still need to download the key from the page I linked to and import it into the keyring.

Why did I got a different output?

Why do I need to download that file? I must mull this over.

The problem is that I have a limited knowledge of PGP or rather Gnupg.

Tinkster

09-03-2006 04:11 PM

Because it's not a key-file. It's a signed message with the md5-sums
for the files in it. But I'm repeating myself.

Tink

Nah I don't mind helping people out and sometimes it can take a while for them to grasp the concept especially when different native languages are involved.

I have successfully downloaded a key from a public key server. Please read the following.

What is the problem?
I tried all sorts of import commands.

My understanding is that 'recv-keys' command just download the keys. Afterwards, 'import' command should use to attach it to the key ring.

Please help me.

Gins	09-06-2006 03:11 PM

Gins	09-06-2006 03:14 PM

Sorry for the duplication. Please remove the additional post.

Tinkster

09-06-2006 03:16 PM

For crying out loud... the first command didn't download it, it
imported it right away ....

Cheers,
Tink

Gins	09-06-2006 03:45 PM

Tinkster

So if you use the following command, the 'import' command become redundant.

[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]#gpg --keyserver pgp.uk.demon.net --recv-keys A50083C5

I didn't know it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
All right.
When I double clicked, I got the following:

If I saved it, then I am forced to use the 'import' command.

Please tell me if my understanding is incorrect.
It seems there are several ways of playing with gpg. I must learn from you all.

I didn't know it.

The --recv-keys is importing a key from a keyserver so yes the --import command is not needed for that key anymore because it will be in your keyring.

If you save the above to a file on local disk then yes you need the --import command because that is need to put the key into the keyring when using local file the --recv-keys gets it from keyserver and imports to keyring in one action.
