Topic: PPA help request

For whatever reason, the university's internet will not allow me to view PGP keys for PPAs; so I cant copy, paste the key for the crunchbangers PPA to a txt file then direct the package manager to the txt file. So, would one of you wonderful people please just copy/paste the key to a post so I can authenticate the crunchbangers PPA?

Re: PPA help request

Run this to add the key for Crunchbangers PPA:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 93C2BC34

Re: PPA help request

Maybe the Ubuntu keyserver is down again?

Re: PPA help request

If its down, you could try the manual way:

Create a blank file, paste in this text, and save it:

-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: SKS 1.0.10

mI0ESXyuWQEEALtXc9eel/l6rrMSjF0cvIpiHAbsAX0svo3QZiSmwMhF6WMODKinzF0Vdk6H

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Now open Synaptic and go to Settings > Repositories > Authentication (tab) > Import Key File... > select the file you made.

What I was asking for in the first place - keyserver works, just not behind the skool interwebs (which is where I spend most of my day) - thx anon!
