Hi, I need to transfer Keys from my Workstation to my Laptop to use it on both systems.
Same GPG on both machines (GPG Suite Beta 4)
Workstation is on Mavericks 10.9.3 and Laptop is on Yosemite 10.10.1
I try to export my active key with the export command and import on the Laptop. Altough, the file exists, and I got a message "Successfully processed 2 keys" on the import machine, the key never shows up.

I tried to transfer all keys (cmd+A), and all other keys (also revoked ones) show up successfully, but not the active sec/pub key

   Actually It was the problem of a time difference due to an invalid ntp server.

   Hi Michael,

   you should update your Workstation to 10.9.5.

   We had another report about missing keys. Currently we think this is a display problem and the keys actually exist. I understand that this is not a solution to the problem.

   Not sure if this is connected to time difference issues. It could be if keys might expire or so.

   Can you create a reproducible pattern for this?

   All the best,
   steve

   Hi, answer to the problem above. Time mismatch, actually, the key was created with the wrong time, so it could not exist on the second computer. I just had to correct the time and wait for an hour. I'm on yosemite now.

   regards,

   Mike
