The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Hi, I'm just a few days into my first Linux experience, and am having a great time with Ubuntu.
How do I go about installing GPG (seahorse) on my Ubuntu?
Thank you.
