I don't have a problem in resolving that hostname in any other context. For instance:
pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~/Documents$ ping subkeys.pgp.net PING subkeys.pgp.net (116.240.198.71) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from web-196-keysigning.ivt.com.au (116.240.198.71): icmp_req=1 ttl=46 time=255 ms 64 bytes from web-196-keysigning.ivt.com.au (116.240.198.71): icmp_req=2 ttl=46 time=254 ms And I can bring up a page with the URL also. So if there's an iptables/urw problem, it's very particular to this context. Others have also reported this problem, though most of them have resolved it. It seemed to be related to the use of a proxy server, but I'm not using one. as System Settings verifies. What log should I look at for further information? It will be quite difficult for anyone from the iptables world to track this down if it only occurs in this one context. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044156 Title: gpg key retrieval gives bogus, confusing error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/1044156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
