Importance for me is actually _High_ ** Description changed:
Binary package hint: seahorse Seahorse will not generate a new key. I have used gksudo to launch seahorse from the command line. Seahorse opens. I press on the 'new' button to generate a new key. I select PGP key and press continue. I fill out the fields for 'real name', 'email address', and 'comment'. I click on the arrow for advanced options. I select 4096 for key strength. I remove the check from the box that says never expires. I click on 'Create'. It asks me for a Passphrase for New PGP Key. I enter my password two times, the same both times. I click oK. A box pops up with an error message in it: <big><b>Couldn't generate PGP key</b></big> General error The html tags are in the actual error message. No key is generated. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 gpg is installed: e...@leibniz:~$ gpg --version gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.9 e...@leibniz:~$ uname -a Linux leibniz 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux + + =========== + + I too have the similar problem: + right click on folder, select "Encrypt". At this point I get message that no key are available and seahorse opens up. + + I click on File, New, fill out name, email, comment, leave other + defaults alone. Next I get the password box I fill in the password, and + the working bar apears for about a minute or two and then I get an error + message saying that it can not generate key. + + I was running 8.10 with latest patches, last night I upgraded to 9.04 to + see if it would help, but it did not, still get the same error. + + Thanks for any one looking into this. -- Seahorse will not generate a key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
