I have gnugp-2.1.9p0 package installed. Was able to create public and secret key, revocation in case needed later, and export public key to binary and ascii format. Tried uploading my public key to a keyserver:
gpg2 --send-keys --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net mykeyhere and I get this: gpg: sending key mykeyhere to hkp server keys.gnupg.net gpg: removing stale lockfile (created by 73004) gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/home/myhomedir/.gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed gpg: keyserver send failed: No dirmngr gpg: keyserver send failed: No dirmngr I also ran it with the --debug switch and saved the output and it's humongous but I can supply it if wanted/needed. Tried running dirmngr as myself but that dog don't hunt. Ran it as root with --server and also with --daemon, then ran my original gpg2 command to send keys and got the same result as shown above. Any help I can get on this will be greatly appreciated. Anything I could've done and didn't, any other info I can supply and didn't, etc., please let me know. Thx -- The older I get, the more questions I have and the less answers. If things keep up this way, I think by the time I die I won't know a damned thing!
