From apt-key sources, you can set APT_KEY_DONT_WARN_ON_DANGEROUS_USAGE to a non-empty value to disable this warning. You can also use “grep -q” so you don’t need to redirect stdout in /dev/null either.
I found several posts telling me to run several gpg commands, but they didn’t solve the problem because of two things. First, I was missing the debian-keyring package on my system and second I was using an invalid keyserver. Try different keyservers if you’re getting timeouts! Thus, the way I fixed it was: apt-get install … Read more
As David intimated, the problem here is that gpg doesn’t trust the public key you’re using to encrypt. You could sign the key as he explained. An alternative–especially if the key might be changing occasionally–would be to tack on –trust-model always to your gpg command. Here’s the relevant bit from the man page: –trust-model pgp|classic|direct|always|auto … Read more
If you’re not getting prompted at all for a passphrase, the solution may just be to install a program to facilitate that. The most common is pinentry. brew install pinentry-mac So installing that and trying again may get things working. But if not, another thing to do is make sure git it using/finding the right … Read more
You get that error because you don’t have the public key of the person who signed the message. gpg should have given you a message containing the ID of the key that was used to sign it. Obtain the public key from the person who encrypted the file and import it into your keyring (gpg2 … Read more
You can export the private key with the command-line tool from GPG. It works on the Windows-shell. Use the following command: gpg –export-secret-keys A normal export with –export will not include any private keys, therefore you have to use –export-secret-keys. Edit: To sum up the information given in my comments, this is the command that … Read more
I stumbled upon this today and found the fix at Maven Central Repository Documentation. The SKS Keyserver Network is being deprecated and probably gone by now. Just use another GPG key server like: keyserver.ubuntu.com keys.openpgp.org pgp.mit.edu So for example gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-key 908F435E
There is no in-built method for doing this, but it is simple enough to create a test that doesn’t modify anything and allows you to just check your passphrase. You didn’t specify, so I will assume you are using GnuPG version less than v2 and are on Linux with Bash for your commandline interpreter. I … Read more
GnuPG does multi-key encryption in standard. The following command will encrypt doc.txt using the public key for Alice and the public key for Bob. Alice can decrypt using her private key. Bob can also decrypt using his private key. gpg –encrypt –recipient alice@example.com \ –recipient bob@example.com doc.txt This feature is detailed in the user guide … Read more
I had the same issue after copying my key pair from one machine to another. The solution for me was the set the trust level of the keys: gpg –edit-key <KEY_ID> gpg> trust You will be asked to select the trust level from the following: 1 = I don’t know or won’t say 2 = … Read more
