Re: Weird locale at passphrase step
That command fixed it! Thanks a lot! Still curious how it picked up the other locale... I do have russian layout as one of the input sources but have never set locale to ru and the system was always in English. In some cases the agent shows another dialog that is half-english and half-broken-cyrillic. Very weird.

GnuPG asks the agent for a new passphrase, which in turn displays the prompt. > How do I fix this? unfortunately, it depends on how your gpg-agent is initialized, which we don't have enough information on here. perhaps it was launched before your locale was set to en_US.UTF-8? One thing you can try as a workaround is to kill off the gpg-agent and it should get manually restarted on subsequent use: gpgconf --kill gpg-agent maybe someone with more info about how MacOS and Homebrew manage per-user services can weigh in on better workarounds, or suggest a more principled fix for that platform. --dkg signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Weird locale at passphrase step
Hello, I have just installed GnuPG on macOS Mojave using Homebrew. When I try to generate a new key I can go through almost all steps seeing messages and dialogs in English, but when it asks my passphrase, I see: [image: image.png] My GnuPG version and locale: $ gpg --version gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.13 libgcrypt 1.8.4 $ echo $LANGUAGE en_US.UTF-8 $ locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" How do I fix this?
