You are supposed to run gpg commands as normal user, but apt-key must be run as superuser. sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list # add deb http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ lenny main gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys FC918B335044912E gpg -a --export FC918B335044912E | sudo apt-key add - gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys C509840B96F89133 sudo gpg -a --export C509840B96F89133 | sudo apt-key add - gpg -a --export C509840B96F89133 | sudo apt-key add - sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install -y x2goserver-home x2goclient-gtk x2gognomebindings This worked for me.

There is something that should be point out in this procedure. In Ubuntu in the Install GPG key section should be: gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys C509840B96F89133 and gpg -a --export C509840B96F89133 | sudo apt-key add - Because if not this errors arises: gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/XXXXX/.gnupg/gpg.conf' gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file permissions gpg: keyserver communications error: general error gpg: keyserver receive failed: general error and gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/XXXXX/.gnupg/gpg.conf' gpg: no writable keyring found: eof gpg: error reading `-': general error gpg: import from `-' failed: general error Please anotate.

There is something that should be point out in this procedure. In Ubuntu in the Install GPG key section should be:

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys C509840B96F89133

and

gpg -a --export C509840B96F89133 | sudo apt-key add -

Because if not this errors arises:

gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/XXXXX/.gnupg/gpg.conf’
gpg: external program calls are disabled due to unsafe options file permissions
gpg: keyserver communications error: general error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: general error

and

gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/XXXXX/.gnupg/gpg.conf’
gpg: no writable keyring found: eof
gpg: error reading `-’: general error
gpg: import from `-’ failed: general error

There is an option to see more details, but the box closes immediately so that I cannot read the text! Very annoying. Anyone had any success with this and can provide some pointers?
