Just rename (mv) options to gpg.conf.  Even that isn't strictly
necessary AFAIK, as gpg will read the options file if no gpg.conf is
found.

Does running "nano ~/.gnupg/options" fail in some way?

You have to create the file yourself and place it in ~/.gnupg.
Robert suggested gedit, but if you have KDE (you mentioned that you
installed kgpg), you can use Kate or KWrite (personally, I like Kate
because KDE is pretty and GNOME is ugly IMO), but any of these (or a
terminal-based editor if you want, or really, pretty much any text
editor at all) will work.

GnuPG in Linux

2007-10-30 Thread Charly Avital
Hi,

In the pursuit of complicating my life with some fun, I have installed
Linux Ubuntu 7.04 under Parallels 3.0 Mac build 5160 (in addition to
Windows XP Pro). The current release of Ubuntu, 7.10 is not [yet]
digested by Parallels, but eventually it will.

Ubuntu 7.04 distribution came with GnuPG 1.4.6 already installed.
After much searching and installing I finally got:
- compiled 1.4.7 from source after installing 'build-essential', because
the C compiler that came with that Ubuntu release was not suitable, by
itself, to compile gnupg. 
- installed GPA and KGpg
- imported my keyrings from gnupg/MacOS 10.4.10 (Leopard is still
wandering in the jungle on its to my home), and reset the trust.

My question, please help: where, how can I find and open, actually open
and edit as required, gpg.conf? A ls search in .gnupg lists 'options'. I
remember that gnupg.options was the ancestor of gpg.conf (probably
before gnupg 1.2.*).

Sorry if the question seems [is] silly, but I have a block. I have tried
to use pico (nano), but I don't seem to strike the right commands.

Thanks!
Charly

Dunno what that's doing there.  You're right, it should be gpg.conf.

The good news is most of your OS X Terminal.app skills will apply here.
 OS X 10.4 and 10.5 both use a program called 'bash' to provide a
command line.  So does Ubuntu.  Prior to 10.4, OS X used tcsh instead of
bash; if you're more comfortable with 10.0-10.3 behavior, talk to me
off-list and we can get Ubuntu set up with tcsh.

I'd suggest doing 'gedit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf &' and just editing it that
way.  Gedit is the standard GNOME editor and should be much friendlier
than using nano.
