gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr

[docgregt]

Problem with ubuntu installed from Windows 10 setup:
sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/Microsoft.gpg adv --keyserver packages.microsoft.com --recv-keys BC528686B50D79E339D3721CEB3E94ADBE1229CF
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.TAkAqlbJN0/gpg.1.sh --keyserver packages.microsoft.com --recv-keys BC528686B50D79E339D3721CEB3E94ADBE1229CF
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.TAkAqlbJN0/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr

sudo apt-get install dirmngr does not work as it is already installed. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.

I solved it by using following:
curl -SL "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xEB3E94ADBE1229CF" | sudo apt-key add

This was on a fairly clean install.

microsoft/WSL#3286

@docgregt This issue is often seen by people running on an outdated version of Windows. Please update to at least Windows 1809 to receive the WSL fix which resolved a number of IPC problems, including those which were causing this error.

I had the latest version of Windows 10 based upon Windows update at the time I reported the issue. I do not track windows versions so I don’t know if there is a newer version of windows since I reported the problem that fixes the problem. In any case the work around worked for me.

Can you check the version of Windows/WSL by following these instructions, and make sure that it's at least 1809? Some administered environments block updates.

microsoft/WSL#1728

Update: This may be a dirmngr bug in general, according to some of the information I'm seeing. The package install instructions are being updated this month to use a different method.

[docgregt]

Looks like I have 1803 and there is no admin that blocks my updates. I do not know why Windows Update has not given me the latest. Maybe it is a Dell thing.

What I read on numerous blogs was that it was a linux bug and someone needs to fix the linux bug so I don't think updating Windows will matter, but you would know that better than me.

[sptramer]

It might be a Linux bug, but there were definitely WSL bugs related to IPC that were fixed in 1809. I wonder why that version isn't available for you, it was the Windows Fall Creator update, and tagged as installed on 10/1/18 on my machine.

It might be the case that you need to update manually (which would be recommended, for the security fixes.) Follow the Windows 10 October update instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028685/windows-10-get-the-update

I'd be curious to hear if you're able to get the current Ubuntu install instructions to work if you're able to successfully upgrade to 1809.

Hi,
I have Windows 10.0.17134, WSL 1 and Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic). Does it mean that there is no way to make it work on this configuration? I keep getting the error:

gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.ljJpIgUmcc/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr
