[SOLVED]GnuPG change keyserver

I don't find anything to that. Is there a way to change the default key server? I have to use the keyserver flag to receive keys, because the default one often doesn't respond.

#( 18.10.15@22:58 )( dun@Arch64L ):~ gpg --recv-keys 1EB2638FF56C0C53 
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available
#( 18.10.15@23:00 )( dun@Arch64L ):~ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1EB2638FF56C0C53
gpg: key F56C0C53: "Dave Reisner <d@falconindy.com>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

Re: [SOLVED]GnuPG change keyserver

You can set a keyserver option in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

# edit: for pacman, use /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf

Ah so easy it is. Created ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf with "keyserver pgp.mit.edu" and it works, thanks.

Searching the wiki for 'keyserver' would help too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … mport_keys
