I've got Easyubuntu up and running but when I try to download anything I get gpg errors. I've been trying to get them using

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net -recv 437D05B5

which didn't work, then I tried

gpg --keyserver-options http-proxy --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5

which again didn't work, then I tried

gpg --keyserver x-hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --keyserver-options honor-http-proxy --recv-key 437D05B5

which didn't work either.

I am behind a proxy but the last two supposedly solve the proxy issue but they haven't for me. I keep getting the following error

gpg: requesting key 437D05B5 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
?: subkeys.pgp.net: Host not found
gpgkeys: HKP fetch error: No such file or directory
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

Please help. I only wanna listen to some mp3s!!!

once you download the key you need to
gpg --import <KEY_FILE.asc>
gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add -

the line you want is

sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5
