How exactly do I sign something with gpg when I have two sets of keys?

user139252

You have to select which key to use, and you have to make sure that the key you select is in your Launchpad account.

user136984

How do you select which key to use in Terminal?

Videonauth

@ParanoidPanda gpg -u <key nr> --clearsign

Seth

@AndroidDev yeah

Videonauth

@AndroidDev look at the questions of this user askubuntu.com/users/553984/temiloluwa-adesina @seth may want to have a look too, he posted today the exact same question he posted one or two days ago

@Videonauth: key nr?

Videonauth

type in gpg --list-keys

you will see something like this then

pub   4096R/6092693E 2011-09-23
uid                  Greg Kroah-Hartman (Linux kernel stable release signing key) <greg@kroah.com>
sub   4096R/76D54749 2011-09-23

the upper number behind the / is your key nr so in this case 6092693E

user136984

Ah, you mean the key ID... What is nr?

Videonauth

number id isnt it the same ?

user136984

Oh right, sorry, just didn't know what it stood for. :)

user136984

Anyway, thanks! :)

Videonauth

6:20 PM

np

user136984

Oh, it says that they key is not available... :(

Videonauth

which key is not avaiable ?

user136984

It says it skipped it because the secret key is not available.

Videonauth

check if you not have a duplicate somewhere in the list

user136984

I don't, I only have two sets.

Videonauth

6:24 PM

--list-keys or --list-secret-keys respectively

user136984

The list secret keys option outputs nothing...

Q: How would I make this script more efficient?

I am writing a script that will systematically install Numix theme using gnome-tweak-tool. I want to make sure that I don't reinstall items if they are already installed, so I used which [name of item] > /dev/null. Here is my current script: function installNumix() { echo "Checking if Nu...

user136984

I generated my keys through the GUI Passwords and Keys tool.

user136984

I have browser software which can sign email contents, if I just paste the file in plain text into an email and ask it to sign do you think that will work?

Videonauth

not sure

user136984

6:30 PM

Well, I think it's at least worth a try, but why do you think it's not working the usual way?

Videonauth

but for sure something in your key db is wrong when it prints you that error

i had something similar as i had the secret of an old key i revoked in the secret key list

and it failed then to find the new generated entry

user136984

Ok, well, I'll probably post a question about it later, but I got it working with the browser tool so I've signed the UCoC now. :)

user136984

Nope, that acronym still looks rude...

Android Dev

@Seth Thx. It is not within your power to mark as accepted, right?

Seth

nope.

Android Dev

6:38 PM

@Seth - <sigh> It's not even that I want the rep. I just want it to be marked as accepted :)

(No I'm not saying I don't like getting rep BTW)

@SeverusTux Yep, that's why I left the comment I did....

user136984

Right, LP is all sorted out now...

user136984

So now to start on writing the speech. :)

Q: Can reviewers review suggested edits more than 20 times?

I thought you aren't able to perform more than 20 reviews of one sort per day. But in http://askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/stats, it looks like Videonauth has reviewed 21. Is that possible? Here's a screenshot.
