verify installation with gpg #370

earthfail commented 1 year ago

Hi, I'm following the instruction in Wiki. After downloading input-wacom-1.0.0.tar.bz2 and input-wacom-1.0.0.tar.bz2.sig I get an error message after running the command gpg --verify input-wacom-1.0.0.tar.bz2.sig input-wacom-1.0.0.tar.bz2

Can't check signature: No public key

I can't seem to find this public key anywhere. After searching the web I understood that it is not necessary to the installation but recommended to verify the file.

Hi earthfail, the public key should be available to fetch from the ubuntu keyserver. If that doesn't work please let me know so I can help fix any issues.

Thanks Joshua for the reply. I'm still new to the process of downloading and verifying packages from github so it took me a while. I will write what worked for me for documentation:

  1. search for your name on ubuntu keyserver , Joshua Dickens.
  2. copied key id , a8af906d9307fbad
  3. run gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys a8af906d9307fbad to import key
  4. verify package with gpg --verify file.sig file

Thank you for your help.
