I created a GnuPG key pair a few years ago on my SuSE 8.2 box. I've since upgraded, added/reconfigured drives and partitions and reinstalled SUSE countless times and I *thought* I'd managed to save the key pair, under ~/.gnupg/, by copying the entire directory to a backup location and copying it back to my home directory, as needed. Now I'm trying to use the *private* key in another application... I'm supposed to be able to browse to and select it... but it seems I'm only able to locate the *public* key.
Where is the private key supposed to be stored?
As an offshoot to this question, I recently upgraded from SuSE 10.0 to SuSE 10.2. I preserved my /home partition and copied it over from 10.0 to 10.2. That brought over everything including the .gnupg files. I had a few files encrypted in another directory and now I cannot decrypt

So, I figured that I needed to set up kgpg again, but no matter what I tried I could not decrypt my files. I read the kgpg handbook over and over and I even downloaded the howto from gnugpg. No good. Maybe some fresh thoughts on what I am missing would help? Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
