Hi all... I have an odd problem with GPG. I'm using Kmail on a normal install of SuSE 8.2, when I try to use GPG I get an error. I can encryt an email to someone without problem. But when someone sends me an encryted email I can not read it in Kmail. When I try to open an encryted email Kmail tells me that I've used an invalid password. But when I save the email as a file, gpg will decryte it at the command line (ie gpg -d file). GPG says that my password is ok at the command line. Any ideas?

TIA JIM -- Jim Hatridge Linux User #88484 ------------------------------------------------------ This sounds amazingly similar to the experience another user & I were having. Turned out that (1)I'd sent him the wrong key out of a possible two; (2)the key he sent me was apparently trashed in transit.

Inline or attached signature? If its inline you can do what evolution people do use kgpg which is the little lock icon in the lower right next to the clock. CWSIV On Tue, 2004-03-09 at 06:15, James Hatridge wrote:

I've been playing with it and found this out. First I had an old version of pgp on my system. I deleted it and installed GPG from the 8.2 disks. I thought that I got all of pgp off the system. BUT now when everything works all the little windows say "GPG", but when I get an error the window says "PGP Error". So I think that I've still got a couple of pgp files on the system. As far as I can see the easyst way to fix this is wait until 9.1 comes out and do a bare metal install. Any other ideas? TIA! JIM

if its PGP on *nix then it must be pgp658 try to find the elements with whereis and use kpackage to clean off gpg then try clean install from disks or download gpg 1.2.4 from gnupg.org and install in a new directory. Look into your dot files and dot directorys. As I remember there is a dot gnupg CWSIV On Thu, 2004-03-11 at 11:04, James Hatridge wrote:
