Want to try daily use Mullvad browser in my rotation I hear great things about it. I don’t want to install the Flatpak if I don’t have.
When I install, from AUR, the package yay -S mullvad-browser-bin it ends with:
:: PGP keys need importing:
-> EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290, required by: mullvad-browser-bin
:: Import? [Y/n] y
:: Importing keys with gpg...
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
-> problem importing keys
When I install, from AUR, the package yay -S mullvad-browser-latest-bin it ends with:
gpg: error reading key: No public key
:: PGP keys need importing:
-> EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290, required by: mullvad-browser-latest-bin
:: Import? [Y/n] y
:: Importing keys with gpg...
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
-> problem importing keys
So here is my question: is this problem on my end? Or the maintainers? What can I do about it?
Thanks
thanks for the manual, did not know such a creature existed.
that would never occur to me. that’s something I did in WIN days…never in Linux. I always go for the curated route with apps (local repo, flatpak, aur, etc).
Another reason is I’d rather have the maintainer update not add something that I have to remember to manually do.
I am not saying that you have to do it in the way I described above but I think in this particular case both methods are somewhat equivalent.
I understand that everyone has their own predilection when it comes to how to maintain their system. So naturally you do you. I just wanted to point out the alternative which I have been using flawlessly since almost when Mullvad Browser was first released.
My way of thinking is, if I can leave out the middle-“man” I will most probably leave “object pronoun” out
I understand this completely and am open to the process (direct from mullvad) the more I think about. I can run an install script. I hope the GPG stuff works itself out.
That said, I worry more about Linux in general leaning on Flatpak more and more and my concern is no one ever talks about flatpak audits or cves and it seems like a very closed world, and a world we all take too much on faith…AUR on the other hand, I can inspect myself.
Thanks for the sound advice. Will report back.
