I think keybase pgp import is what you want. You can also provide a file with keybase pgp import --infile. See keybase pgp import -h for what it does exactly

firecentaur commented 7 years ago

thankyou, I did that, and at first it gave me an EOF error. I fixed that by deleting the line at the end of my infile. Next, the keybase program prompted me for my keys password. I entered it. Then keybase asked me for my keybase password. I entered that but then I got an error on the command line:ERROR openpgp: invalid argument: no valid signing keys

Does the file you provided include your signing key?

Also is you pgp key in the gpg keyring on the device? (If you can use gpg command without providing the key file through command line, you probably have that in the keyring already) If so keybase pgp import should be work

hi Song, thanks for your help... I have a few questions.

1) Upon looking at my key file (that I generated on my computer), it looks like:

-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1 random text -----END PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----

How do I know if it includes the "Signing key"? Also, how can I include the Signing key?

2) I am also not sure what you mean by " is you pgp key in the gpg keyring on the device?" I am using ubuntu, and my key is on my ubuntu key ring... is that what you mean?

Yes that's what I meant. Could you try keybase pgp import with no other argument?

firecentaur commented 7 years ago

Hi there Song, I tried with no arguments, and then it seems that it just hangs there...
