Unable to sync PGP keys seahorse
Ok so I tried for the first time to use PGP keys for email encryption in Evolution. I followed some instructions online, created a key, but coz I encountered some problems I decided to delete the key and restart the proces. (This fact is probably irrelevant, because I got similar errors when doing it.)
Now I have no key and I go to Remote: Sync and publish keys. Firstly it says that there are 6 keys selected for synchronisation. Why? I do have some passwords saved in here, will it sync those too??
And last, when I click sync I first get two errors:
Couldn't retrieve keys from server: pool.sks-keyservers.net
Couldn't communicate with server 'pool.sks-keyservers.net': Internal Server Error
and
Couldn't retrieve keys from server: keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371
Couldn't communicate with server 'keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371': Internal Server Error
Than the progress stops and no progress is made, it just says:
Synchronising keys... Exporting data
Any help?

They are right , have you tried revoking them. do you have any firewall like UFW installed and enabled.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by:
- Remove all existing keyservers from the Sync box (by default
hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371,hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net, andldap://keyserver.pgp.com). - Add them over again (keeping the same settings).
- Press Sync.
Don't know why this works, but it does.

Can you post the

hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371, hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net and ldap://keyserver.pgp.com these are the keyservers i have by default.
– Janez Fouclait

They are right , have you tried revoking them. do you have any firewall like UFW installed and enabled.
– atenz
Jul 25 '12 at 15:53
Because I wanted to start over(and some error in evolution about public key), I deleted all keys in preferences. Regarding the firewall- I have a pretty much clean install and have not messed with firewall preferences, but I think it is on by default in ubuntu?
– Janez Fouclait
Jul 25 '12 at 16:05
Then not a firewall issue. have you integrated pgp to evolution mail.
