hello,

i wish to use additional keyring from USB stick, (i have keys on .gnupg folder on my stick),
but i have troubles, here is my gpg.conf (from ~/.gnupg)

default-recipient-self
keyserver random.sks.keyserver.penguin.de
default-cert-check-level 3
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve include-revoked include-subkeys
no-mangle-dos-filenames
no-secmem-warning
keyring /media/USB/.gnupg/secring.gpg   << this is the new line i wrote

but in thunderbird i still have no access to my key from stick


probably i did something wrongly

Sure, just add "keyring the-other-keyring.gpg" to your gpg.conf file
or give --keyring on the command line.  By default, the keyring is
expected to be in your .gnupg directory.  If you want, you can give a
"/full/path/to/the/keyring.gpg" to the keyring command and then it
will look anywhere you like.
