 Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2015 5:58 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Fetch gpg keys -- keyserver receive failed |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm a new Gnu/Linux user. I've installed Gentoo many times in the last months (unfortunately, incorrectly). Now, I've learned more by reading a few books and i found interesting docs* and good links, references, in the Gentoo Wiki (a few months ago, I couldn't understand useful documents). So, at that time i couldn't manage a functionnal operating system. I've decided to reinstall Gentoo. When I'm trying to fetch** the key during the install process I get error messages.
| Code: | gpg : requesting key 2D182910 from hkp server hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg : keyserver timed out
gpg : keyserver receive failed : keyserver error
|
This seems to be similar to error messages in his post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1012664-highlight-keyserver+error.html
and maybe that refers to the following bug report --> https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538852
Unfortunately, I don't understand how to get over the problem. Could someone help me ?

Maybe the server is really obsolete ? Try this in gpg.conf: | Code: | keyserver pgp.mit.edu
keyserver-options timeout=60

neoptslap ... to add to what toralf suggest above, you can also provide a keyserver on the command line (though I'm not sure where exactly you're getting this error as I didn't read the provided link).
| Code: | | # gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 2D182910 || gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 2D182910 |
Also worth asking, you are online, and can resolve addresses, prior to the above error?
HTH & best ... khay |

Good evening, toraf !
Thank you for your help !
I use the config file but the problem continues. I have the same error messages.
| Code: | gpg --recv-keys 0x9E6438C817072058
gpg: requesting key 17072058 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed : keyserver error
|
I think I'm gonna to read the Gentoo Wiki about GnuPG, the official documentation and the manual page* to learn a little more about using and configuring GnuPG.
* I didn't find the manual page about GnuPG, I know now that I have to search gpg !
Best regards,

You didn't block the IP port ? : | Code: | $ grep -i hkp /etc/services
hkp 11371/tcp # OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver
hkp 11371/udp

Hello !
Thank you Khayyam for your answer. Yes, I can resolve adresses but indeed the problem came from the internet transmissions (some parameters in the firewall protection).
| Code: | root@sysresccd /root % ping -c 3 hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net

toralf, indeed, the problem came from the IP ports. In my Internet Service Provider 's router, in the advanced configuration, I have to chose one level of security or configure the settings myself. So, I chose the high level of security. I change for the medium level of security and It's run.
| Code: | root@sysresccd /root % gpg --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x9E6438C817072058
gpg: requesting key 17072058 from hkp server hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 17072058: public key "Gentoo Linux Release Engineering (Gentoo Linux Release Signing Key) <releng@gentoo.org>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
|
Note : the command below, in my case, doesn't indicate change in the firewall's configuration of the Internet Service Provider's router
| Code: | root@sysresccd /root % grep -i hkp /etc/services
hkp 11371/tcp # OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver
hkp 11371/udp

Thank you !

Hello everyone,
After trying the steps from here and here
I am still encountering the following error while trying to validate my download.
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0xBB572E0E2D182910
gpg: requesting key 2D182910 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Kind Regards,
Cornelius |
