--- Comment #5 from Torsten Eichstädt <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Ingo Klöcker from comment #4) > [...] > I'm open to suggestions to make the pinentry app work without a TTY on > FreeBSD, but that needs to be fixed upstream in GnuPG. I'm closing your > report as upstream issue. You are welcome to open a report at dev.gnupg.org > (which, unfortunately, is a bit complicated). How does this work on e.g. Linux? If there is an implicit assumption (worst enemy of SW developers) that there must be a TTY, it is a design bug. If pinentry-qt5 or pinentry-qt6 do open a graphical dialog box to ask for the pw, but kleopatra calls the standard (non-GUI) version, it is a bug in kleopatra. If a GUI-aware pinentry should be called by gpgsm but it calls the other pinentry, the bug is in gpgsm. If gpgsm has no chance to know whether there is a TTY or GUI, it is a design bug. The solution could be to add an option to gpgsm instructing it which version of pinentry to call: either TTY (curses) or GUI-aware? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
