gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys 778978B00F7992B0 && gpg –export -a 778978B00F7992B0 | sudo apt-key add -

and done. this will fix the PGP key error .. maybe just an epic fail.

Hi,

I compiled kde 4.2 for Hardy (but no backport from intrepid, its a new additonal kde that will be completely installed into /opt/kde4) and I tried to make a debian package:

Any help with making a real repository is appreciated.

I solved my problems with Ubuntu by running the following commands sequentially. The first command did the trick for me.

sudo su -
gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 778978B00F7992B0
gpg –export –armor 778978B00F7992B0 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install kde-nightly

sorry. i keep forgetting to put everything in. the reason your command fails toni, is because the /home/toni/.gnupg/gpg.conf file is owned by toni and not root. when you sudo that command it runs it as root, which does not own the file. That is why you run the gpg commands as your regular user then pipe the second using sudo for the apt-update

after that run
sudo apt-get update

and you shouldnt get any errors

Toni, as your regular user, run:
gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 778978B00F7992B0

then

gpg –export –armor 778978B00F7992B0 | sudo apt-key add -

and it should work

@Sysop
The safest, leanest, best way to accomplish this is:

sudo sh -c ‘echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main >> /etc/apt/sources.list’

or like Ilias mentioned is another way of many ways.

sudo bash is just as bad as ’sudo su -’.

@Sysop, dude, ummm, omg… Same thoughts as Ilias…

@Root

toni@~:~$ sudo gpg –recv-keys 778978B00F7992B0
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/toni/.gnupg/gpg.conf’
usage: gpg [options] [filename]
toni@~:~$ sudo gpg –armor –export 778978B00F7992B0 | apt-key add -
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/toni/.gnupg/gpg.conf’
usage: gpg [options] [filename]
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Sorry for the potential irration, but I am at a loss as to what to do from here. Is my OpenPGP package hosed?

Thanks.
