How are you trying to install it? Sounds like you need to import a public GPG key.

I have it installed through the software menu,but whenever i try to run it its says you need a gpg

SuperChar

it says this

PlayOnLinux cannot find gpg (from GnuPG)

You need to install it to continue

You should install GPG. In a terminal run:

sudo yum install gnupg2

(or similar)

What happens when you run from a terminal:

which gpg

SuperChar

Find a program in the menu named terminal and open that. A black or white screen will open. Thats the terminal or shell.

I installed gpg from terminal

SuperChar

Well should I run PlayOnLInux in terminal or what

SuperChar

Because I firstly installed gpg on the terminal

syklops

Just run it as normal.

SuperChar

I do that and it says you need GnuPG

To run gpg just type gpg and press enter. I want to check if gpg is in your PATH and the command "which gpg" returns that.

SuperChar

when i try to run gpg it says that it isnt a command

SuperChar - can you give us a bit more info

open a terminal window and type 'which gpg' and hit enter:
You should get back something like this if it is installed or else it will say 'no gpg found in ....'

/usr/bin/gpg

gpg belongs to the gnupg2 package
Run this command to see if the package is installed:

$ rpm -qa gnupg2

it should return something like gnupg2-2.0.14-4.el6.i686 or else nothing.

You can install gnupg2 from the Add/Remove Software menu if you do not have it installed.

From the terminal run the following command and hit enter:

rpm -qa playonlinux

this checks to see if the playonlinux package is installed.
Copy the output of this command and paste it into your post.

When I type in "which gpg" it says

/usr/bin/which: no gpg in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/jan/.local/bin:/home/jan/bin)

When I type "rpm -qa gnupg2" it says

gnupg2-2.0.22-1.fc19.x86_64

Ande when I type "rpm -qa playonlinux" it says

playonlinux-4.2.1-fedora0.noarch

Thanks for the Help

syklops

I think I've figured this out. Gpg is called gpg2 when you install gnupg2. gpg is only provided by the Gnupg1.

Poster, in the terminal run:

sudo yum install gnupg

This will install gnupg which comes packaged with gpg.

SuperChar

ok ive done that

SuperChar

IT WORKED!!!
