No Valid gpg key

This command works for me. keyserver.ubuntu.com may have been down, or there were networking issues between you and that server. This is not an issue with Launchpad's servers.

Do you normally have to use an http proxy?

I think the underlying bug here is bug 712812.

@UBNewbie, could you please past the output of

  sudo sh -c 'echo $http_proxy'

Hi Martin,

I don't use any http proxy connection. It is direct link behind a cisco router.
And I had disable the firewall of the router and it work without any problem after the first feedback that I had from launchpad.

It is however quit strange because this is the first time that I had problem downloading a pgp key. My firewall settings are not change for a long time.

If you wish I can send you your request about the $http_proxy parameter.

Regards,

Hok Hie

Hok Hie,

No, I don't need the proxy setting.

I guess this was either a problem with your firewall or a transient network problem. If this is now working for you it's probably not a Launchpad bug.
