I asked you to create a new topic for help with restoring proper permissions in your home directory, not create a duplicate topic. You’ll be able to import the GPG key once that is solved. I’ve edited your topic title and moved your thread.
What is needed is to set the permissions of the files to 600 (rw for the user only)
and the permissions for the directories to 700 (rwx for the user only)
chmod is the command man chmod for how to use it (or ask google …)
or do it with the help of your file manager
It’s mentioned in the link as well - that’s why I used it
hi Nachlese -
Now I’m just confused. I can’t install the system76-driver because of the following:
.
.
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
system76-driver git repo ... FAILED (unknown public key 87F211AF2BE4C2FE)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
Error: Failed to build system76-driver

If I try to import the key I get this:
galago%
galago% gpg --recv-keys 87F211AF2BE4C2FE
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
galago%
Earlier I was able to import the key (maybe, in some way) when I added an “sudo” to get around a permissions complaint but got the same failure notice from pamac re: PGP signatures not able to be verified, and I was also corrected by Yochanan who said it was a bad idea to use “sudo” in a home directory, which makes sense of course.
Feels like I’m missing something.
All I’m saying is that, from what we see, from what you yourself wrote, you already imported the key
so I was wondering why you would even want to
or need to
import it again.
Perhaps you imported it into root’s keystore, because of your use of sudo?
I don’t know.
There is more than one keyserver - perhaps try to get/download the key from a different one
because this one doesn’t seem to be reachable at the moment.
But which server, which additional option, how to do that … I don’t know.
All I was trying to say is that even though it appeared to imported with “sudo” the pamac driver install doesn’t appear to “see” it or recognize that key, and like you say, the keyserver is presently unreachable. I’ll try another time.
Ok… got it solved and it’s installed and working, but had to find a different way. By way of trying to learn more, here’s the confusing point of your post, Yuckanan. I think your gpg command points to the package maintainer, so I executed it, too (I think), hoping it would give me the option to import the key I needed. I got this response:

None of the three keys offered were a match so I went to an old Arch-Wiki page here:
I replaced that key with the key I was looking for, and it worked. Key imported, package loaded. Not sure what the output of other command was supposed to yield, or how I’d know if the key I needed might be one of those offered until I download it (them).
