Problems adding ssh key to create account on aur. [ SOLVED ]

Hi Guys!, im very frustated because im trying to submit some changes to a certain package on AUR, i have a problem when creating my account on "https://aur.archlinux.org/register/" the problem is whit my id_rsa.pub, i did this

Authentication
For write access to the AUR, you need to have an SSH key pair. The content of the public key needs to be copied to your profile in My Account, and the corresponding private key configured for the aur.archlinux.org host. For example:

~/.ssh/config
Host aur.archlinux.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
User aur
You should create a new key pair rather than use an existing one, so that you can selectively revoke the keys should something happen:

$ ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/aur

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … g_packages, and when i try to put the content of my aur.pub file on "SSH Public Key:" i always got the message " Register The PGP key fingerprint is invalid." im trying to do this on a fully updated archlinux box, and i use the standar ssh-key process for github and gitlab without problems, any ideas ?

The error suggests whatever you have entered into PGP Key Fingerprint textbox is incorrect, so what have you got in that textbox? Fingerprints should be in the following format: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Solved putting the output of ssh-keygen -r aur.pub. TY!

That isn't a PGP key fingerprint.

If you don't have a PGP key, or you don't want to have one listed in your profile, it's fine to leave that field blank.

Ty WorMzy, i will leave it blank.

You do realise that only the package owner can make changes, yes?
