Hi all, I made my personal key in Ubuntu 7.04 by the default gpg --gen key command. I use. Then to use it, was using firepg to sign it. Firepg kept telling me that the signature is not valid. Thinking it was an issue with the extension per-se made a post about the same in firepg & was consequently banned. Although there was no explanation given but that's another matter. http://firegpg.tuxfamily.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=108
Fishing around my own system came to the conclusion that I was using a non-compatible version of the gnupg with the extension. gpg --version gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.6 >From the site http://www.gnupg.org/ GnuPG comes in two flavours: 1.4.7 is the well known and portable standalone version, whereas 2.0.4 is the enhanced and somewhat harder to build version. Installed the new version gnupg 2.0.3 (which is supported in Ubuntu at this point in time) . https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/gnupg2 . Now my query is how can I make the key I have already made 2.0.3 compatible. Looking for easy instructions. Also looked at few mirrors and http://webber.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto.txt not just this one but all manuals which point to webber.dewinter.com are down. Lastly, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto is in someways my baby as I have contribute quite a large part into the doc. Feel free to point out any mistakes. Any help with the above will also be finding its way into the doc.
