Re: problem while sending gpg key to mit key server

["Mustafa Qasim" <alajal gmail com>]

Hello! All folks there. I need some help in completing my joining process. I am stuck at the "Sending gpg key to mit key server" point. I am starting the story from start because this time I am including some other group's address in TO field.

I studied the Joining Check list page and perform the tasks given there.

1)Introduced my self a couple of days ago.
2) Created the ssh key
3) Created the gpg key
(Take a backup of both ~/.ssh and ~/.gnupg directories)
4) Created the Bugzilla account
5) Tried to sent the gpg key to mit server thjrough the command given in the Check list
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys GPGKEYID

But at this stage it gives connection time out error. I went to gpg.mit.edu through firefox and read that we can also submit the key by pasting the ASCII of our key on their page. But i couldn't extract the ASCII by the export command

gpg --export --armor alajal gmail com > mykey.txt

it returns
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported

So please help me to get out of this problem.
