Hmm. gpg2 was set up automatically however Ubuntu 14.04 does it. It
seems to work manually. And it turns out that Engimail *is* trying the
right key but fails. Here is what the log says about that:
[GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE 6F87153B238909D7 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1 0
gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
[GNUPG:] ERROR get_passphrase 85
[GNUPG:] MISSING_PASSPHRASE
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID XXXXXXXX, created 2014-03-24
"xxxx <[email protected]>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
[GNUPG:] ERROR pkdecrypt_failed 99
[GNUPG:] BEGIN_DECRYPTION
[GNUPG:] DECRYPTION_FAILED
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
[GNUPG:] END_DECRYPTION
Thanks for the link to the guide. It mentions the GnuPG 2.x requires an
agent to handle the passphrases.
I did change the settings on the agent a year or so ago because it was
preventing SSH use by loading in all the ssh keys it could find, rather
than the ones I would tell it to find, and then using them out of order
causing the remote service to lock me out. If I have to choose between
graphical use of SSH and Engimail, I must have the latter.
So, the next step is for me to find the changes I did to the agent
configuration and undo them, and see if that helps.
Regards,
Lars
