Hello, all. I'm not a great expert at using gpg so I'm simply following the instructions on the X2Go web site. It seems I cannot retrieve the key:
root@vdbase:/dev# gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys C509840B96F89133 gpg: requesting key 96F89133 from hkp server wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
If I go to wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and search for the key, it says it cannot find it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks - John
Dear John,

if I am reading it correctly there were errors with the keyserver.
It worked fine for me with keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. Just try it with this server or later when the
server works again.
Thanks,
Paul

notice that I used the 'hkp://' protocol part on that request -- dunno that it matters, but I have done it that way for years
