How can pinentry know if there is a TTY or a GUI? There should be an option (flag) that the calling application can set to tell whether to use the TTY or the GUI version, and which one (Qt or other). IIUC that must be set by kleopatra when calling gpgme-agent (or gpgsm) and that must call the right pinentry. > You configure in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf which pinentry program gpg-agent > shall use. See `man gpg-agent`. No, this is not the correct solution: maybe from remote over ssh I want to use the TTY version, next day at home I want to use kleopatra and thus the GUI (Qt) version. Note that pinentry-qt works fine (see screenshot). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
