Hi all. I have read the FAQ entry at https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq?view=category&id=11#faqLink_2 and while my problem is related, it was not resolved by the steps there.
I am using gpg 2.1.13 Enigmail 1.9.5 and Thunderbird 45.3.0 on a MAc. When I choose an encrypted email in Thunderbird, it displays a blank preview page, no prompt for passphrase. When I cache my password by using gpg on the command line, then it decrypts. I am using pinentry-mac from homebrew and symlinked pinentry to it. My gpg-agent.conf file includes pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac The pinentry example and the gpg-connect-agent GET_CONFIRMATION example in the FAQ entry both work for me. When I run gpg-agent with debugging, I observe the following: gpg-agent[7155]: WARNING: "--use-standard-socket" is an obsolete option - it has no effect gpg-agent[7155]: enabled debug flags: command cache ipc gpg-agent[7155]: listening on socket '/Users/tritter/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent' gpg-agent[7156]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.1.13 started sh-3.2$ gpg-agent[7156]: handler 0x700000081000 for fd 5 started gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK Pleased to meet you gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- RESET gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- GETINFO version gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> D 2.1.13 gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- OPTION allow-pinentry-notify gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- OPTION agent-awareness=2.1.0 gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- OPTION pinentry-mode=loopback gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- AGENT_ID gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> ERR 67109139 Unknown IPC command <GPG Agent> gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- HAVEKEY AAAAA gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- HAVEKEY BBBB CCCCC DDDDD EEEEE FFFFF GGGGG HHHHH IIIII JJJJJ KKKKK AAAAA gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- HAVEKEY AAAAA gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- RESET gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- SETKEY AAAAA gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- SETKEYDESC Please+enter+the+passphrase+to+unlock+the+OpenPGP+secret+key:%0A%22Tom+Ritter+<t...@ritter.vg>%22%0A4096-bit+RSA+key,+ID+03FFC8624E256AB8,%0Acreated+2016-08-15+(main+key+ID+66A109189B79658F).%0A gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> OK gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- PKDECRYPT gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> S INQUIRE_MAXLEN 4096 gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> INQUIRE CIPHERTEXT gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- [ aa bb cc dd ee ff gg hh ii jj kk ll mm nn oo pp ...(539 byte(s) skipped) ] gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- END gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: agent_get_cache 'AAAAA' (mode 2) ... gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: ... miss gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> S INQUIRE_MAXLEN 255 gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> [[Confidential data not shown]] gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 <- [eof] gpg-agent[7156]: failed to unprotect the secret key: End of file gpg-agent[7156]: failed to read the secret key gpg-agent[7156]: command 'PKDECRYPT' failed: End of file gpg-agent[7156]: DBG: chan_5 -> ERR 67125247 End of file <GPG Agent> gpg-agent[7156]: Assuan processing failed: Broken pipe gpg-agent[7156]: handler 0x700000081000 for fd 5 terminated gpg-agent[7156]: handler 0x700000104000 for fd 6 started Strangely, all the items I replaced with AAAA etc are not in my keyring. Checked by doing gpg --fingerprint --fingerprint --list-keys | grep AAAA (with the first 4 octets of each key). -tom _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
