gpg -a -ihttps://forums.opensuse.org/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==
btw - or are there options to import directly without any comand line

can i import it directly with kgpg !?

hello dear all - i have apied the following code to the files

  • note my friend send me two different files - pgp-files

i have applied the following line of code:

gpg -a --import [filename]

i have applied the code to the to existing files … which i wanted to import:

encrypted1.asc
encrypted2.asc


[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -a --import encrypted1.asc 
gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.
gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -a --import encrypted1.asc 
gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.
gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -a --import encrypted2.asc 
gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.
gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$

hmm - i am wondering why it failed…

hello dear all

well the KGpg client has got a button that supports a import

but if i use this button i get the message - see the protocoll-data

where to find this protocoll-data

#4

Presumably, your files do not have the kind of data expected. From what we can see here (i.e. just the file names), there isn’t much that we can say.

#5

hello dear all

if i try to import the key with KGpg - the KDE client - wiht the option - take the text from editor … then i get back the warning

Text in editor is no key but a crypted text - should i treat the text and try to decypher it?

well that said - my friend sent me a crypted file for a public key - well this seems not to be necessary -

what to do now

#6

guessing there is a crypted file- i tried to decypher the file

[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -d encrypted1.asc
gpg: verschlüsselt mit ELG Schlüssel, ID 347E856F4F5D2DC6
gpg: verschlüsselt mit ELG Schlüssel, ID 6C37EEFDAB40A2B8
gpg: verschlüsselt mit RSA Schlüssel, ID CEF757D0F5BE77E5
gpg: Entschlüsselung fehlgeschlagen: Kein geheimer Schlüssel
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ ^Mgpg -d encrypted2.asc
bash: $’\rgpg’: Kommando nicht gefunden.
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$
[martin@martin-pc Downloads]$ gpg -d encrypted2.asc
gpg: verschlüsselt mit ELG Schlüssel, ID 347E856F4F5D2DC6
gpg: verschlüsselt mit ELG Schlüssel, ID 6C37EEFDAB40A2B8

but wait - this failed…

Well i think that i have to ask the friend how he crypted the key

#7

Yes, that would be a good way to start.

#8

Is it possible that your friend sent his private key? He should not do that.
