Re: [ jEdit-users ] Public key no longer available at keyserver.ubuntu.com?

[Michael A. S. <Mic...@mt...>]

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your input. However, this will install from the Ubuntu repository, which is holding an older version (5.5). I want to install from the jEdit repository, so I get the newest version (right now 5.6).

But to add a “foreign” repository in Ubuntu Apt you need the public key for that repository. This is where I am stranded, as the key index given in the install instructions is no longer present in the key store.

Regards,
Michael

Michael,

I know this doesn't answer your specific question, I'm just a user and I have no idea about the key.

For what it's worth, jEdit installed on Ubuntu with the following

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y default-jdk
sudo apt-get install -y jedit

it can also be built it from source pretty easily by a beginner with IntelliJ

Good Luck

Hi

Trying to add jEdit repository to a Ubuntu machine. However the public key to the repository is not available at “keyserver.ubuntu.com” (by manually search), so the command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E6A233DBE3AFBEFC

fails.

Has the key got a new identifier, that should be listed in the http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=download page under “Debian Linux” type operating systems, or is something else wrong?
