sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10 command returns error
I'm trying to install Mongodb on Ubuntu 12 but when I run this command:sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
This returned the error below:
keyserver.ubuntu.com host not found
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: no such file or directory
gpg:no valid openPGP data found
gpg: Total number processes :0
I turned off Firewall on Iptables, but it don't work. Is there any idea?
Solution 1:
This may not actually be a problem with looking up the keyserver, which is what the error suggests. The apt-key command calls gpg, which in turn tries to access the keyserver. Apparently there's a bug in gpg whereby if the keyserver doesn't have the key you are requesting, then gpg misinterprets that as "host not found".
It may well be that a non-responsive keyserver will do the same thing, and I have seen environments where the keyservers are blocked (corporate firewall rules), so that could be your root cause if there is an upstream firewall you do not have access to.
Just for reference, the key is there and the keyserver is currently responding for me:
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

gpg: requesting key 7F0CEB10 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 7F0CEB10: "Richard Kreuter <[email protected]>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: unchanged: 1
It may be that the port is the issue (it was the last time when I hit a corporate firewall problem), so try doing this on the standard HTTP port (80) instead, see if that sorts things out:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
Solution 2:
I faced the same issue as my machine is behind a corporate proxy. Adding the gpg --keyserver-option http-proxy made the trick. Looks like:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver-options http-proxy=<myProxy> --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
Solution 3:
If you are using a proxy, for example company's proxy then probably the only way is to enter this manually, which is pretty straight forward. Run:
sudo apt-get update
and get the id of the pub_key.
Then go to http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ and search for the key as a hexidecimal, for example if the key is 7936A783B, then search for 0x7936A783B.
Click on the pup link and copy the keys content and save it to a txt file.
Go to terminal and navigate to the file and run:
sudo apt-key add key.txt
If it works, you will get a simple OK feedback.
When all keys are added, then you may run:
sudo apt-get update
and there you have it!
Solution 4:
(CORRECT) sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv FDC247B7
(WRONG) sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key FDC247B7
