I upgraded TAILS from 2.4 to 2.5. This USB had TONS of public, private keys - so decided to always back up persistence on a separate USB, just in case. Well, it happened - main USB will no longer run TAILS. I imported a few of my personal PGP pairs and they actually came in & work. The important ones (these are .asc's) - when importing into key/pass app - says something to the tune of 'this is not verified ..etc" and when I say 'dismiss', it imports it as a public key.
I tried running as admin, running terminal, going to the TailsData_unlocked vs TailsData folders and replacing - but the same result happens. I ran the script that edits ownership at the end, too. Nothing.
I NEED these keys. I need to respond to the plethora of people encrypting to me, and I need to log into PGP sites. Anyone who can walk me through getting the private PGP keys to import as a working pair like they did prior to the upgrade would be dope. And $50 richer.
Remember - I have the backup of the .asc and .pgp files on the mountable corrupt USB, as well as the backup USB. I tried importing them direct from all three sources with no luck.
Thanks all!
