Hello all, I setup another computer and it worked flawlessly. Before starting kgpg or kmail, I created the file ~/.kde/env/gpg-agent-startup: #!/bin/sh eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" I had to create the 'env' directory. Once I saved this file and make it executable, I restarted X. Then I setup Kmail and kgpg as normal. And encrypted email worked great. Alvin On May 27, 2005 06:32 pm, Matt T. wrote:

I think gpg-agent was still running after the X kill. A "killall gpg-agent" would have helped, too.
I did also experience that in this specific case the killall alone did not help :-(
But if in doubt what process to kill or restart, the best way is a reboot, even on linux.
Nice I could help you.
Best, Daniel

Hello Daniel,
When I booted the computer this morning, kmail and gpg were working perfectly. I guess the computer just needed a reboot. I had made the changes you suggested and added the "gpg-agent --daemon" line to a script in ~/.kde/env and I just restarted X. Looks like this needs a full reboot to take effect.
Thanks,
Alvin

Hi!
Just check again, that gpg-agent is being started when you log in.
Then check the gpg-agent config so that gpg-agent knows a program which it can start to ask you for passphrase, a so named pinentry program. I suggest pinentry-qt (check if you have that package "pinentry" installed).
I have a ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf with this content:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt no-grab default-cache-ttl 1800
Good luck!
Greets, Daniel
