Hi Enigmailers, So I saw the issue below happen on my installation (TB 52.7.0, GPG 2.2.4, Enigmail 2.0.2 (20180411-1619), forced Enigmail mode) now for the 3rd time since the first 2.0 release. It showd up again out of nowhere since I wasn't even actively using TB at that time. So here's some digging:
The process seems to be spawned by dirmngr.exe, ptree looks like this: + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\dirmngr.exe" --daemon --homedir C:/Users/<User>/AppData/Roaming/gnupg + dirmngr.exe (Suspended and fails to resume) + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpgv.exe" --enable-special-filenames --status-fd=2 --keyring "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\share\gnupg\distsigkey.gpg" -- -&1072 - + \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe 0x4 Thunderbird then also has two stuck gpg.exe subprocesses: + "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe" --charset utf-8 --display-charset utf-8 --no-auto-check-trustdb --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys <some KeyID> + \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe 0x4 (no visible DOS box for this one) + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe" --charset utf-8 --display-charset utf-8 --no-auto-check-trustdb --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --sender <some email> --verify C:\\Users\\<Username>\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\data-28.sig - + \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe 0x4 (no visible DOS box for this one) Executing either command in a shell in parallel to TB's just hangs indefinitely until I kill the outer dirmngr.exe and all it's descendants. After that the two gpg.exe subprocesses of TB also finish up within seconds. Hope that helps in circling the culprit. It kind of looks like Onno Ekker was right: "Maybe it's got something to do with updating the keys in the keyring". ---- p≡p Security SA / Andy Weber / a...@pep-security.net PGP: 6C43 6A16 8523 0758 D601 91E4 912A BD60 8814 9C3C *Jim Dever* jdever at triad.rr.comwrote <mailto:enigmail-users%40enigmail.net?Subject=Re%3A%20%5BEnigmail%5D%20gpgv&In-Reply-To=%3C5dfad74b-6c82-97ac-f4c7-ad94ed218b30%40triad.rr.com%3E>/Mon Apr 9 09:46:15 CEST 2018:/ Hi, My first time posting here and I'm not sure if this is an Enigmail problem or a gpg problem but ever since Enigmail upgraded itself to v2.0 (and now to v2.0.1) I notice that every once in a while (maybe about a week interval) I see a copy of gpgv.exe running in the task bar. I clicked on it and it's just a blank screen with the cursor in the top left hand corner. No text at all except for the normal window headers. It just sits there for hours. So I guess my question is what's it trying to do? Is it needed? Can I turn it off? I'm in need of an education. I'm running Windows 7 with GnuPG 2.2.4. The version you get with GPG4WIN. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Jim
