I’m sorry I don’t know how to implement, or provide a patch, but I checked *messages* for a clue to what was going wrong. I now think this isn’t an org issue, but the epa functions worked, and the org-encrypt (which I read uses epg) failed silently, so I reported here.
If the *messages* said something like “prompting for passphrase”, I’d have realised earlier that was not occurring. > On 14 Oct 2017, at 7:33 pm, Nicolas Goaziou <m...@nicolasgoaziou.fr> wrote: > > Hello, > > David Maslen <david.mas...@gmail.com> writes: > >> Problem was that in graphical mode I saw no password prompt.
