i have tried to get it done while i start kgpg - the graphical interface.
after doing so i have done several trials:

a. gettiing the pub-key intergrated into kgpg while uploading from the fiile
b. getting the pub-key intergrated into kgpg while i use the tray - and insert it into tray from the memory.

well i have found another solution: here

gnupg - How do I import a public key? - Ask Ubuntu

I) Copy this to a txt file:
 

gedit ~/Michael.txt  

II) Run this
 

sudo apt-key add ~/Michael.txt && rm ~/Michel.txt

So the question is:

how to run this ubuntu-command in opensus
 

sudo apt-key add ~/Michael.txt && rm ~/Michel.txt

Please, stop.

 

What this command does is add a key to your packet manager. That is, the key would be authorized to sign arbitrary packets. You absolutely definitely don't want this, because it undermines the security of your system. The fact that you need sudo (i. e. admin privileges) to simply import a key should have set off all your alarm bells. Please think before you run any commands.

 

I'm frankly baffled by how much trouble you have with kGPG. I'm a first-time user, and I had no problems whatsoever generating new keys, importing other keys etc. So either there's something seriously wrong with your system. Or it's simply not the right tool for you.

 

I suggest the following: Switch to a different system (either a physical machine or a virtual one). Install kGPG from scratch and again try to import keys. If there are still problems, forget about kGPG and use GPG from the command line. It may not be the most comfortable interface, but at least it won't screw up your system.
