GPG --fingerprint return nothing

Asked by Trisno Pamuji

when i type GPG --fingerprint on Terminal, firstly it said that no gpgfolder in my home folder, then it's likely it generate some file( gpg.conf)and then when i try that command again, it returned nothing.
why was that? i'm on ubuntu 13.04 and i've GNOME installed beside unity.

Do you have generated a gpg key ?

    gpg --fingeprint (this is the correct command, not capital GPG)

is used to list all the keys in your machine , along with their fingerprints.

See if you have any keys in you machine

    gpg --list-keys
    gpg --list-secret-keys

If you don't have, then you must generate a gpg key (if you really need it) by following this how to:

Thank you so much NikTh,, i realize that i haven't generate it, and when i generate it, my laptop running out of random byte or something like that, but it's okay, i guess just need to reboot. Thanks.
