I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server and trying to setup some containers but I'm getting the keyserver error:



> lxc-create -n test -t download
Setting up the GPG keyring
ERROR: Unable to fetch GPG key from keyserver
lxc-create: test: lxccontainer.c: create_run_template: 1566 Failed to create container from template
Error creating container test


Everything seems to work fine if I run with --no-validate but that's not what I would like to do long term, any ideas?



Btw. forgot to mention - I'm not behind any firewall or proxy that is blocking the access.



Edit: @Simos - the 'kde' was my fault when i copied the console output. The container i was creating was named kde, but i changed the name when copying the output here to 'test' just missed one spot. Nonetheless i like lxc and i've setup multiple containers to do some stuff i wanted just always had to skip validation which i don't like.



So the question remains - any pointers in how to resolve the issue?

          It is weird that it says




          lxc-create: kde: lxccontainer.c: create_run_template: 1566 Failed to
          create container from template




          It should not be saying kde there. That part should be empty.



          You are using LXC, while it is much more user-friendly to use LXD.
