[SOLVED]Cannot import key with pacman-key on fresh installation.Why?

Hello,

i edited my pacman.conf file so it includes repositories by Vi0l0 user.

[xorg112]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg112/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archl … g112/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg112/$arch

[catalyst-hd234k]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/cata … 234k/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://70.239.162.206/catalyst-mirror/r … 234k/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archl … 234k/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst-hd234k/$arch

As this page suggests, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Vi0L0 , i executed this command:

pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xabed422d653c3094

I get

gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr
==> ERROR: Remote key not fetched correctly from keysever.

Why is that happening?I have already read the pacman-keyring in arch wiki.

Thanks in advance!

Not that it helps with your situation, but your driver should support X.org 1.13 according to the wiki article.

Sorry for my late reply. I had no internet connection Ok, i did pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate but it stuck  at gpg: Generating pacman keyring master key. What should i do?

I assume you did the other steps as well? Then all you can do is use the computer and wait until the key is generated. You can continue after that.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot import key with pacman-key on fresh installation.Why?

Yes, I did those steps:

# rm -R /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
# rm -R /root/.gnupg/  # only if the directory exists
# gpg --refresh-keys

after that

# pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate

And it stuck. So, is it normal? Should i wait?

Hi zabrielza,
You need system entropy in order to generate the master key so just use your pc until the generation is completed: watch a video, move the mouse, do something...
You can find more information on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pa … he_keyring.
