Greetings, All!
I've started to work from home, and connecting to my work laptop via SSH and
Deskflow (Synergy).
It works fine except two things. One if that docker desktop is unable to pull
layers when inside the ssh session, and another one is that when I pull from
remote GIT repo, git calls to pass to retrieve stored passwords.Which in turn
calls to pinentry through gpg. Which is trying to display the GUI dialog in a
headless session.
Is there a ncurses or tty pinentry variant available for Cygwin?
pinentry-w32 (obsolete) -> pinentry GnuPG password dialog (terminal)
pinentry-emacs GnuPG password dialog (emacs)
pinentry-gnome3 GnuPG password dialog (GNOME,MATE)
pinentry-gtk2 GnuPG password dialog (GTK 2)
pinentry-qt3 (obsolete) -> pinentry-qt GnuPG password dialog (Qt)
pinentry-qt4 (obsolete) -> pinentry-qt GnuPG password dialog (Qt)
Make sure DISPLAY is unset or no binaries other than pinentry{,-w32} exist;
curses is the fallback for the GUI binaries.
