When i try to make a new key i get the following error:
gpg: no writable public keyring found: eof
Key generation failed: eof
I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and logged on as regular user.
I've generated a key before but i used: sudo gpg --gen-key
that works fine.
I just can't seem to do it as regular user.

Do i have to be root to gen a new key pair?
You shouldn't have to be. What are the permissions on
~/.gnupg ?

I'd guess that the ownership/permissions on your ~/.gnupg dir and/or
keyring files are not correct. Check that you own the directory and
Additionally, the command 'chown -R my_user_name:my_user_name .gnupg'
can do magic to fix these problems.

Your right it seems my permissions are wrong:

drwxr-xr-x 72 acidblue acidblue 4096 2007-06-03 17:59 ..
-rw--- 1 acidblue acidblue 28 2007-05-19 11:47 gpg.conf
-rw---
'chown -R user' worked!
thanks everyone
