Gnome Keyring won't find pgp keys

I’d like to find the pgp key of a friend, I know it exists and it’s published

BUT

The progress bar in the popup window never finishes

I’d attach a screenshot but that always errors out

On ubuntu it DOES find my friend

It depends on where it was published. As Vladislav notes, you may need to add a keyserver that the key is published on to find it.

You can also use the command line for gpg to see if you can find it using gpg --search-keys .. etc. man gpg for more information, of course.
