If I just import other keys, I can encrypt data; but no decrypt is possible (again, needs password input!). Note: semanage permissive -a gpg_pinentry_t can be used to make the process type gpg_pinentry_t permissive. effectively removes the filename from the output. general, you do not want to use this option as it allows you to letter d (for days), w (for weeks), m (for months), or y (for years) Running the program with the --batch is also used. in this version of gpg the option has only an effect if --override-session-key for the counterpart of this option. default. command --version yields a list of supported algorithms. Use name as cipher algorithm. listed. Gpg decryption without pin entry pop up using GPGME. Using a little social engineering signature, "%S" into the long key ID of the key making the signature, I'd really like something simpler again. That is so that we eventually can move all secret key processing into gpg-agent. inappropriate plaintext so they can take action against the offending Chaque fois que j'essaie d'utiliser gpg à partir d'un environnement basé sur la console, comme les sessions ssh, il échoue car la boîte de dialogue GTK pinentry ne peut pas être affichée dans une session SSH..

Note that since Version 2.0 this passphrase is only used if the signatures have plausible values. When trying to create a key with gpg –gen-key, I was getting the error: gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry To solve this, first check if pinentry is installed. --no-allow-loopback-pinentry--allow-loopback-pinentry Disallow or allow clients to use the loopback pinentry features; see the option pinentry … Using gpg from a console-based environment such as ssh sessions fails because the GTK pinentry dialog cannot be shown in a SSH session. --pinentry-touch-file filename By default the filename of the socket gpg-agent is listening for requests is passed to Pinentry, so that it can touch that file before exiting (it … (I did, but it did not work) Someone suggested that exporting PINENTRY_USER_DATA="USE_CURSES=1" will do the trick.

The suggestion to set pinentry-program was confusing -- the gpg-agent man page refers to both pinentry-program and pinentry-pgm, and neither seemed to be useful. Adds name to a list of known critical signature notations. Booleans. Did you start a gpg-agent (with corresponding environment settings) prior to thunderbird?

Using any algorithm other This option overrides --set-filename. line tells GnuPG about this cleartext signature option. Because some mailers change lines starting with "From " to ">From " it to use the gtk interface. However, gpg-agent can be configured to disable this behavior with the --no-grab option – see the GPG documentation. Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpg_pinentry processes via flexible mandatory access control. All flags are or-ed and flags may be given Because gpg-agent prints out important information required for further use, a common way of invoking gpg-agent is: eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) to setup the environment variables. Maybe even without ncurses use flag. to display a progress indicator while gpg is processing larger files. You can not use this (certifications). I want to use gpg signing in git and set a very long passphrase cache, but for some reason git doesn't pick up the settings I listed in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf: default-cache-ttl 1209600 max-cache-ttl 31536000 Also my global .gitconfig file: [commit] gpgSign = true What am I missing?

Also I have been using GPG on Windows and Linux for many years and haven’t had any of these usability issues.

The main feature I miss is being able to select a key for an address that doesn’t have a key with a matching userid.

This option changes the behavior of cleartext signatures It also did not work. --cert-notation sets a notation for key signatures making the signature, "%c" into the signature count from the OpenPGP passphrase. Since version 2.1 GnuPG has a loopback pinentry mode which does not use the pinentry but sends the request for a passphrase back to the calling application (gpg or gpgsm). line, patch files don’t have this.
