[SOLVED]gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
Hi,
gpg --recv-keys whatever:
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failureI don't know what else to try.
I have already tried to change the keyserver, but it didn't help.
And it happens across multiple users (haven't tried changing the keyserver there), so I might have accidentally changed a global config.
and also:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/home/janluca/.cache/gnupg'what are the right permissions?

Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

Re: [SOLVED]gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
The entire chain starting at your $HOME is ideally janluca:janluca / 700
Did you try to kill/restart dirmngr?

And if you use systemd-resolved, did you correctly set up the resolv.conf symlink?

That did the trick, thanks. I thought I had already somehow configured resolv.conf when I had a simular problem with go, but nvm.
The entire chain starting at your $HOME is ideally janluca:janluca / 700
so 'chmod -hR 700 /home/janluca'?

No.
"-h" is no valid chmod switch and running this recursively will turn all your files executable and maybe withdraw relevant permissions from random files.
chmod the 3 directories, chmod -R is often at the beginning of the sentence that ends with ", should have had backups"
