Hello,
I just did my first full install of Ubuntu, but have been using it for a while, since 10.04, and for some reason under "Passwords and Keys" I do not have any personal keys. Any help?
Those keys are used to log in to remote machines, if you aren't doing so, you don't have any need of a key. If you were expecting keys to be there, and they went missing, I'm not entirely sure what to tell you.
On Launchpad.net in order to sign ubuntu's code of coduct it asks for an OpenPGP key which is found under personal keys, and I do not have anything in there.
I don't have ubuntu in front of me at this moment, so the help I can offer is limited, but you will almost certainly have to generate a new key. You should be able to do this from the passwords and keys dialog.
I copied those instructions from here: https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccou...tingYourPGPKeyCode:Step 1: Open Passwords and Encryption Keys.
Step 2: Select File > New, select PGP Key and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Now you'll see your new key listed in the Passwords and Encryption Keys tool.
You may have already seen that.
Also useful is this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
There is a section on how to generate a pgp key, with a variety of methods listed, just in case you have any trouble with the passwords and keys manager.
Good luck!
Now I just feel silly, I didn't even try using the file menu's and what not! Thank you!!Quote:
