Hello Melissa,

we're investigating why the sync between the subkeys.pgp.net keyserver and
keyserver.ubuntu.com isn't working.

As an workaround you might want to try:

$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-key <key-id>

If you need any extra help, please feel free to contact me in #launchpad at
irc.freenode.net

Cheers,

Sorry it's taken so long to comment back on this. I took the work-around option in the end, just hadn't gotten back to reporting back.

Providing this issue hasn't already been resolved, here is some more information:

- The work-around worked (upload direct to keyserver.ubuntu.com)
- The issue isn't/wasn't isolated to the pgp.net server, it also affected synching with pgp.mit.edu server.

Thanks for your feedback, I've incorporated your hints into an improved set of GPG and CoC-related pages that should be rolled out this week.

I also can't import my fingerprint and keep on getting "Launchpad could not import your OpenPGP key" everytime I do. This is a valid fingerprint the Launchpad rejects. The key has also been manually uploaded into keyserver.ubuntu.com but it still fails in accepting it. Been doing this every hour for the past 10 hours.
Please give us updates.

Hello Dax,

which key you're trying to upload to launchpad.net?

If you're still experiencing this problem, I'd suggest you to file a new support request[1] and assign it to me. Also feel free to contact me in #launchpad @ irc.freenode.net. I'm usually there from 12:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC.

Thank you,

I should've reported sooner, but everything went well the next day. I wasn't able to file for a bug though. Anyway, thanks for your help Diogo!

I'm getting a similar error to Dax's trying to get it to accept the signed code of conduct. The error I get is: Please fix the problems below and try again.

(7, 9, 'No public key')

The page I'm getting the error at is: https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1/+sign

I have successfully uploaded several keys - could that be part of the issue?

Hello Scott,

I suggest you file a new question[1] and assign it to me. Also feel free to contact me in #launchpad @ irc.freenode.net. I'm usually there from 11:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC.

Please describe in the question the steps you're taking to upload sign the code of conduct, the key you're using to sign it and paste the signed code of conduct.
