OpenPGP keys
Launchpad could not import your OpenPGP key.
* Did you enter your complete fingerprint correctly? A fingerprint is a long sequence of numbers and letters. You should use the output produced by the command:
gpg --fingerprint
* Have you published your key to a public key server? You can do that by by entering in a terminal:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys
* Has your key been automatically mirrored to the Ubuntu key server? Keys sometimes take up to an hour to be synchronized between servers. You can check if it has by querying the Ubuntu key server directly. If it hasn't, you can publish directly to our server by entering in a terminal:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys
You can register your OpenPGP keys, which are created by software such as GnuPG. These are used to sign codes of conduct, modify bugs through the email interface, and to build and upload packages using Soyuz.
Importing an OpenPGP key
1. Ensure you already have a key. In a terminal window, enter:
gpg --list-keys your@e-mail.address
If you have no key, create one:
gpg --gen-key
2. Ensure the key has been uploaded to a keyserver. To do this:
gpg --send-key key-id
3. Enter your key fingerprint. Use:
gpg --fingerprint key-id

Launchpad will e-mail linuturk@gmail.com with instructions on finishing the process.
