[Qgis-user] QGIS Ubuntu repository

[Johannes Radinger]

Hi,

first of all hello! I just started using QGIS (mostly in combination with GRASS for processing data). I try to follow the wiki (http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Download#261-Release) to install GRASS on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine. There it says to  add the the qgis.org repository public key to the apt keyring with:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 1F9ADD375CA44993
gpg --export --armor 1F9ADD375CA44993 | sudo apt-key add -

but I get following error:

~$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 1F9ADD375CA44993
gpg: requesting key 5CA44993 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
?: keyserver.ubuntu.com: Connection timed out
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Connection timed out
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

Is that related to my machine (ports?) or to the server. Maybe anyone has a suggestion...
