3. Click 'Update OpenPGP keys' on the left-side

• - Click 'Register an OpenPGP key'. - Ensure you already have a key. - In a terminal window, enter:

  • - 'gpg --list-keys your@e-mail.address' - If you have no key, create one:

    • - gpg --gen-key
    - check your key is OK
    • - gpg --list-keys (lists all the keys in your keyring)
  - Ensure the key has been uploaded to a keyserver. To do this:
  • - gpg --send-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com key-id (replace key-id with whatever your key-id is. See below) - key-id is shown when you do 'gpg --list-keys' and it's the one starting with -

    • - pub 1024D/>>>>>5DAE3BE5<<<<< 2007-11-03 (i.e., 5DAE3BE5 is the public key-id one needs to upload to a keyserver such as keyserver.ubuntu.com)

  - Enter your key fingerprint. Use:
  • - gpg --fingerprint key-id ( i.e., 5DAE3BE5 )
    • Fingerprint: xxxxxxxxxfingerprintxxxxxxxherexxxxxxxx
    - Example:

4. You should now recieve encrypted email from Launchpad. Decrypt it.

• - use 'gpg -d SavedEmailFromLaunchpad.asc' to decrypt the email. The decrypted email contains valuable information.

  • - NOTE: Most email clients such as Mutt, Mozilla thunderbird etc. has the ability to decrypt encrypted emails. If possible, use that. Otherwise, you can use the commandline. Also see https://help.launchpad.net/ReadingOpenPgpMail

5. Follow the information in the decrypted email from Launchpad.

6. Download a copy of Code of Conduct.

7. Sign it!

• - To sign the code of conduct:
  • - Download the file to your own computer and read it carefully to ensure you agree to it. - If you want to, add extra spaces or blank lines between words in the file. (This helps protect against other people trying to forge your signature.) - In a terminal, run the command:

    • - 'gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt' (or whatever filename you gave to the code). This will create a file with a name like UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc.

    - Open that new file, and copy and paste its contents into this box. Then click "Continue".
    • - Signed Code (Required)
