Chaotic-aur cannot be added

mbich · January 10, 2023, 1:42pm

I do the commands as proposed on the website
https://aur.chaotic.cx/
The first command fails with error-message:

`[root@franz-terrapc franz]# pacman-key --recv-key FBA220DFC880C036 --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: Empfangen vom Schlüsselserver fehlgeschlagen: Server zeigt einen unbestimmten Fehler an
==> FEHLER: Entfernter Schlüssel konnte nicht korrekt vom Schlüssel-Server abgerufen werden.
[root@franz-terrapc franz]# 
`

My search for a solution was not successfull. No suggested “solution” worked.
Maybe there is no solution for this, but strange enough - on a website for Linux and on several youtube-linux channels (for example “The Linux Cast”) they just type the command and it works for all of them)

What can I do to make it work ?

The keyservers are unreliable. Try again. If it still doesn’t work, try a different keyserver.

mbich · January 10, 2023, 2:01pm

Thank you dalto.
I have tried it about 50 times.
In Endeavour, in Manjaro, in other arch-based distros.
Never did I succeed. Always the same error.

You say I should try other keyservers.
How do I find other keyservers ?

In Garuda OS the chaotic-aur is installed an active by default.
I didn’t know that and tried to add the key with the command, but it failed too like in all other distros.
After I discovered that it is already there in Garuda, I used it and installed packages from it.

But that doesn’t help me in Endeavour. Just wanted to mention it.

Thank you, pebcak.
I don’ t have the knowledge to make this work.

I tried this:

´# gpg --recv-keys FBA220DFC880C036 keys.openpgp.org
gpg: Die "Keybox" `/root/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' wurde erstellt
gpg: "keys.openpgp.org" ist keine Schlüssel-ID: überspringe
gpg: Empfangen vom Schlüsselserver fehlgeschlagen: Server zeigt einen unbestimmten Fehler an
[root@franz-terrapc franz]#

mbich · January 10, 2023, 3:14pm

Next try, using syntax from debian.org

# gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys FBA220DFC880C036
gpg: Empfangen vom Schlüsselserver fehlgeschlagen: Server zeigt einen unbestimmten Fehler an
[root@franz-terrapc franz]#

pebcak · January 10, 2023, 3:19pm

Try some alternatives:

sudo pacman-key --recv-key FBA220DFC880C036

sudo pacman-key --recv-key FBA220DFC880C036 --keyserver keyring.debian.org

sudo pacman-key --recv-key FBA220DFC880C036 --keyserver pgp.mit.edu

mbich · January 10, 2023, 3:22pm

Nothing works. Sorry.
I have no idea why it works perfectly for all these youtube-linux experts. None of them got an error like I do on all distros. Like I said already: I found no helpfull hint on forums. People hat similar problems, but not exactly the same error-message I am getting. All the proposals on those forums I tried but none worked.

Hmm. It should tell something like:

gpg: using character set 'iso-8859-1'
gpg: data source: http://162.213.33.8:11371
...

Internet access and DNS is working ok I assume?

mbich · January 10, 2023, 4:01pm

Internet access is ok. I can surf in browsers without errors. DNS ? Must work ok too, otherwise I could not surf I guess.

I have asked for help in the telegram channel of chaotic-aur.
They checked and got this:

On there page the keys are here:
https://aur.chaotic.cx/chaotic.gpg

Maybe you can import them with
sudo pacman-key --add /path/to/chaotic.gpg
?

moson · January 10, 2023, 4:11pm

you can also import them manually yeah.

please try with port 80. maybe your ISP is blocking stuff.
