Unable To Import OpenPGP Key

Asked by ScottAS

All

I am encountering a problem when attempting to import my self-signed OpenPGP Key. I created it and appended it to an E-Mail Address I created and of which I own the Domain Name. I uploaded my OpenPGP key to the default Key Server and once also to the Ubuntu.Com Key Server. I have queried my Key ID and my OpenPGP Key is present on the Ubuntu.Com Key Server. I attempted to import my OpenPGP Key having input my Key Fingerprint however I received a prompt stating that it could not be imported regardless of the fact that it is present on the Ubuntu.Com Key Server.

I am unsure as to what to do to resolve my problem and also as to which pieces of information I can and can not reveal regarding my OpenPGP Key. I realise that I cannot reveal my private key however I am unsure as to my Fingerprint and Key ID.

I have queried my problem via Answers.Launchpad.Net however each resolution to my stated problem is different and does not resolve my problem.

I clicked the wrong button. My last message was requesting more info, not a proper answer.

The error message I received was that OpenPGP key could not be imported. I was further prompted to ensure that my Fingerprint had been entered correctly, which it had, and to ensure that my OpenPGP had been uploaded to KeyServer.Ubuntu.Com, which it had. I haven't attempted to import my OpenPGP Key for 15 hours therefore I may attempt to just now.

I am no longer receiving an error message on attempting to import my OpenPGP key and have done so successfully. I would like to thank you for your assistance.

I have queried KeyServer.Ubuntu.Com and have discovered that I have two OpenPGP Keys listed as being associated with my E-Mail Address, although I did not generate the first OpenPGP Key and am suspicious as to its creation. Unfortunately because of the fact that II did not create it, I cannot revoke it and am at a loss as to what to do.

I have successfully imported my OpenPGP key via KeyServer.Ubuntu.Com and in addition have signed the Code Of Conduct with my OpenPGP key although it was somewhat difficult to complete at first. I have contacted yourself in regard to another matter but I would otherwise like to thank yourself in regard to my problem.
