    Getting:

    gpg: “0×1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de” not a key ID: skipping

    When trying to download the key…any ideas?

  3. Nitin says:

    nice themes there..!! but, at the end of the day, it is the dust theme that stays on your system!!

    p.s. i suspect an error in the GPG key. it should be “0X1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de” and not “0×1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de”. whatdyasay?

    The key you gave didnt work i had to run with:

    sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 6E871C4A881574DE

    Running the command you gave gave me

    This line resulted in an error–

    sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0×1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

    Error details:-

  7. admin says:

    @full command should be in one line for gpg key

  8. Jason B says:

    Here is the correct command (all on one line):

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

    Great themes!

  9. Installing the GPG keys did not work as described. Dropping “0x” did the trick for me:
    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

  10. nikoboxxx says:

    The correct key:

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

    Picked it up from the theme’s website

  11. Eubolist says:

    Just use this command:

    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

    I don’t know whether it’s a bot protection or something else, but you’re all using a “×” = [ASCII: 158] instead of a real “x” = /??ks/ = [ASCII: 120]
    You can try it out yourself by holding the ALT-key and typing in the according ASCII-Number.

    Great themes by the way! Big THANKYOU to Ubuntugeek and the guys from zgegblog!

    It’s NOT WORK
    Please Help

  13. Joe says:

    Sorry It’s Work !

  14. Jushoa says:

    It’s working with the ASCII kode… and type 120, but it’s saying it takes like 9 days to download, can that be right ???

  15. Eubolist says:

    To do everything at once (add source – get key – update – install), just copy/paste the following code, that should work for everyone:

    echo “deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && echo “deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install zgegblog-theme

  16. RJ Jaunty Upgrade says:

    I see we all had issues.. the guy above there nikoboxxx put this in and it worked for me smoothly.
    sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

  17. Omri says:

    how can i remove that package?

  18. Artem Ervits says:

    one of the guys here is right, replace x in the gpg key command with x and it will work.

  19. admin says:

    @Omri

  20. Omri says:

  21. Mikhail says:

  24. irrdev says:

    Copying the Key import line from above does not work. However, going to the launchpad ppa and using the provided key works properly. Here is the proper command for importing the key:

    sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0x1781bd45c4c3275a34bb6aec6e871c4a881574de

  25. irrdev says:

    In follup to my previous post above, I realize the problem with copying the key import line – the “x” in the key doesn’t appear to copy properly into the Gnome terminal. Manually replace it with a lower-case “x” and everything should work fine.;)

  26. joec says:

    hi Dropping the 0x work for me aswell , portably do with the X.

  27. krul says:

    Very nice! Thanks for this.

    Replacing the ‘x’ worked for me in the key.

  28. Hoffes says:

  29. Filipek says:

    Installation ran smoothly. But I have a silly question. I activated window decorations in Gnome settings, however, I would like to use Emerald ones instead.

    I went to Emerald settings and don’t know how to activate the theme there. It looks nicer imo.

    thx for help

  30. Psyk says:

    Installation ran smoothly after setting up a GPG-key 🙂

    A have a problem with the Showtime theme. When I ran this on my old computer it included a cool font that displayed the titles of folders och pages on top of window. However, this font isn’t visible now and it’s just Verdana or something. Any idea?

    Best and thanks for a great tutorial 🙂
