Can't install OpenShot on Ubuntu 9.10

The public key failing is a problem with the ubuntu keyserver - it might take a couple of goes to retrieve the key. For some reason, the Ubuntu keyserver seems to be a bit flaky at times. So I woud try again trying to register the key - maybe wait an hour or two.

If the dependencies are available in Red Hat then it should be possible to build it.

Andy,

Between yesterday and today, I've tried a key request at various times and each time, I get a keyserver timeout/error. Possibly, the key is either bad (B9BA26FA) or the keyserver probably needs to be restarted. Still can't continue with installation.

According to the PPA page (https://launchpad.net/~jonoomph/+archive/openshot-edge), the key should be EDFBD1F9

Command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys B9BA26FA

Result:
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys B9BA26FA
gpg: requesting key B9BA26FA from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

The result is the same with the EDFBD1F9 key.

Any progress on this Jerry?

Thanks,
John

John,

I haven't tried the new key that Andy suggested (EDFBD1F9, which you tried and failed). Whoever maintains the ubuntu keyserver needs to be notified of the problem so it can be fixed. I'll probably try building it the hard way getting all the dependencies first.

Jerry,
This appears to be an ongoing problem with the ubuntu keyserver. See this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/81538

I was able to install the key this morning from home, but can't get it from my work system (where I needed it in the first place).

There are some other key servers mentioned in the above launchpad question, maybe one of those will work.

For that that do not know, if you are unable to install the key, you can
still install OpenShot from the PPA. It will just pop up a warning about
the key.

Very true Jonathan. I confirm that installing without a key does work. Maybe it's nitpicky, but the whole point of even signing the packages is to make sure users don't get some nefarious copy installed on their machines. I realize there are issues with the ubuntu keyserver, maybe the documentation should point to one that is more reliable?

I too have this problem, but I don't understand exactly *how* to install it *without* using the key? Which bit of this do I have to change?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-docs

When you call add-apt repository, it will automatically try and download and install the key. It saves you the trouble of having to register the key manually. However, if the keyserver is timing out, you will just need to wait a few minutes and try again. Good luck!
