Hi folks, Platform: Linux, Debian Jessie, enigmail 1.9.6.1 (20161116-1713), gnupg2 2.0.26-6+deb8u1
I followed https://enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq?view=topic&id=14, but I still don't get a pinentry dialog on trying to decode a Draft or on creating a signed EMail. The log file says : [GNUPG:] ENC_TO 4498660B3B0F918E 16 0 [GNUPG:] USERID_HINT 4498660B3B0F918E User <[email protected]> [GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE 4498660B3B0F918E 84C20315E55986CB 16 0 gpg: problem with the agent: IPC syntax error [GNUPG:] ERROR get_passphrase 276 [GNUPG:] MISSING_PASSPHRASE : I *do* get a pinentry dialog if I follow step 7 killall gpg-agent gpg-agent --debug-level expert --use-standard-socket --daemon /bin/sh i.e. there is no debug output showing me what goes wrong. Obviously there is something wrong about how or when gpg-agent is started for my XWindow session. The "regular" gpg-agent command line looks like this (as shown by ps -ef): /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env-file=/home/user/.gnupg/gpg-agent-info-hostname.example.com /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /home/user/.xsession AFAICT gpg-agent is started together with the XWindow session by some code in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent, provided by the gpg2 packet itself. If I kill this agent and start a new one within my XWindow session (using the same command line flags), then enigmail is happy. Every helpful comment is highly appreciated Harri _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
