The program this is being sent from, seems to be pinentry-0.7.2 which required gtk and glib (1.2.10) to be installed. I have seen this happen with SSH key passphrases. On some systems the default SSH-ASKPASS pointed to is something like gnome-ssh-askpass, which will want to open a GUI password prompt. It shouldn't happen that way if you don't have a DISPLAY environment, though... I don't know how to get around this. I think I should be able to generate gpg keys with a VT100 type terminal. Perhaps gpg 2.0 is a gui-only product? I believe that something is giving this pinentry program the impression that there should be an X display available. This would be the first thing to check; perhaps you are connecting from a Windows machine using PuTTY, and the session config is set to forward X, but you're not running your X server right now? Another alternative might be to see where the system nominates pinentry as the program to run to receive passphrases. The solution might be to just switch to a different prompter, such as the one used by ssh-askpass. Or have a look at this fellow's experience, which I found via Google, to see if it's relevant: http://brondsema.net/blog/index.php/2007/02/06/keychain_gpg_agent_pinentry_problems Cheerio, Vic Cross -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
Re: gpg 2.0 on VT?
Hi Mark. As soon as you said .spec fileahhh...wait a minute. I've been thinking that GPG 2.0 (source level install) would be simular to a RPM install for a specific platform. Binaries should have defaults that are good for that platform! Of course! In this GUI world, who would have defaults for a command line interface? I used the ./configure with no parms (and most likely got the wrong defaults). Also, I do have the gtk-devel files installed. I already threw away my notes on why I thought I needed it. My documentation now just says I do need it. But I think it was something about the gtk-config file being needed. Anyway, I think the problem is due to wrong defaults. Thanks Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/20/2007 5:38 PM Did you at least look at the .spec file for the 1.4.6 version from SUSE? If not, what did you use for parameters to ./configure? (Or even if you did.) Did you happen to have the gtk-devel files installed during the build of gpg 2.0.2? If so, you probably don't want to do that. I note that even openSUSE 10.2 only includes gpg2-1.9.22-20. Heck, even Fedora Core testing is only up to 1.4.6. That may be a warning that all is not well with the 2.0 version yet. If I think of anything else to check, I'll reply again.

Re: gpg 2.0 on VT?
Yep, it seems I need gtk-devel. When I deleted the package via Yast. I then rebuild the pinentry-0.7.2, during ./configure I got: checking for GTK - version = 1.2.0... no *** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found *** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to gtk-config. gtk-config was no longer on my system.

You may want to see if pinentry has a --without-gtk option (or something close to it) on ./configure.

Re: gpg 2.0 on VT?
Thanks Mark for the help. I'm getting pushed to get this done. Well the test with the bank. So my interm solution is to bring up the vncserver and do our testing with a GUI.

Re: gpg 2.0 on VT?
What OS are you running, and where did you get the package? I just checked my SLED10 box, and it only had gpg-1.9.18 as a test version, not 2.0.2. When I tried gpg2 --gen-key it worked just fine on a console for me.
