Please tell us the exact steps you took when attempting to sign the CoC.

[Obed Javier (reddragon-soal)]

step 1: go to https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct

step 2: Download the current Code of Conduct.

step 3: sign it!

step 4: In a terminal, run the command: gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.tx
This will create a file with a name UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc.

step 5: Open that new file (UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc.) and save this file... in this step fail, this error:
The file could not be deciphered: «UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc»

edit: i signed ubuntu code of conduct..

i cripted it with: gpg -as UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt

i opened UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc with gedit and copied all the text..

the mini-wiki does not explain it well..

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

See bug #259597. The problem is that "Of" in the filename is written in capital when it should be

gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt

note the Code*of*Conduct where the "o" of "of" is in minor.

[Obed Javier (reddragon-soal)]

i have this error, "Of" or "of" and others names...
the error is The file could not be deciphered

i try with others names...

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Do you actually have a file «UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc» on your hard drive?
And when you issue the command

gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt

are you in the right folder (the one where the file is)?

[Obed Javier (reddragon-soal)]

the folder is right...
the file is right...
password and other...

step 5 is the error...
The file could not be deciphered: «UbuntuCodeOfConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc»
Without data

i deciphered others files, in the terminal... but, Ubuntu Code Of Conduct fail...

i try, and try... try.... and nothing...

i can't sign it...

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

OK, I think you have to open the file with gedit, for example

gedit UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt.asc

and then paste this into the box in https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1/+sign

Don't double-click the file or something like that, you have to open it with a text editor.

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Also, when you paste it into the box, be careful to paste EVERYTHING including the

--- Begin of PGP message ---

and

--- End of PGP message ---

[Drew Meigs (drewmeigs)]

I am having the same problem. I can not open it in gedit as it comes up a blank file. when I open this where there is actually information showing, I get a "no public key" error when I click continue on the page. I finally got it open using open office, but it still says it is invalid. The site won't accept it. Any words of wisdom?

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Did you really paste EVERYTHING? See my post right above your post.

[Drew Meigs (drewmeigs)]

I pasted from before the first character thru after the last character. If it was in the document, I pasted it. I did include the things you said previously.

1º Me canse de traducir al ingles, porque no se puede hacer al revés o bien, ¿launchpad en español?

2º No me ha salido nada de "--- Begin of PGP message ---" o "--- End of PGP message ---", en lugar de eso, me dice que "el archivo NO puede ser descifrado... Sin datos", por lo que me muestra el mismo código de conducta.

Cambie la contraseña y lo intente de nuevo, y nada, tanto con mi primera contraseña como con la nueva (MÁS simple, por si había error al teclearla), me hacía los pasos...

Al final, he optado por NO ser ubuntero en Launchpad, total, soy ubuntero en www.ubuntu-es.org y aunque me hubiera gustado también en Launchpad y participar más..., simplemente NO se pudo, por lo que supongo este fue mi único reporte de error...

No digo que sea culpa de alguien, pero después de intentarlo en ubuntu 7.10 y ubuntu 8.04, tanto en mi equipo de escritorio como en mi portátil... hay cosas que no se pueden solo porque sí...

[Drew Meigs (drewmeigs)]

I agree with Lord Red Dragon. I am not sure if I am going to be able to become an Ubuntero at all on here. It won't accept my signature. I would really like to, but I can't seem to get it to accept my signature. I am running 8.10 if that makes any difference, but I don't see why it would. I spent about four hours trying to get my signature accepted, but could not. I wish I could at lease be made aware of what the problem is likely to be. I appreciate the help I have gotten, but I am afraid I continue to have the same problem.

To everyone having an issue signing the CoC, it would be best to ask a question in the Launchpad Answer tracker ( https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ ). That is the place which is best equipped to handle support requests.

All the best.

[Drew Meigs (drewmeigs)]

Just an FYI, guys, if you are having the problems I have been having, I was told in the answers section to follow the instructions on the page linked below. It doesn't appear to be any different than what I have been trying all along, but somehow it worked. Give it a look:

[Obed Javier (reddragon-soal)]

Como estoy cansado de escribir en ingles, lo pongo en español:
Ya cree una nueva clave, ya la registre en keyserver.ubuntu.com, y todo correcto, baje el manual, etc.

y ya "avance", porque me crea el archivo (a diferencia de antes donde me decía que nos e encontraron datos), pero al momento de abrirlo, me dice que NO se encontraron firmas validas...

repetí los pasos del registro en launchapd 5 veces y en cada uno fue el mismo resultado "NO SE ENCONTRARON FIRMAS VALIDAS"

La terminal pone esto:
$ gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.1.txt

Necesita una frase contraseña para desbloquear la clave secreta
del usuario: ""
clave DSA de 1024 bits, ID , creada el 2008-10-20

y aunque es correcta y me genera el archivo, al final no me lo abre :(
