All,
I moved my thunderbird settings to my leap 42.2 install. Now when attempting to send a signed or encrypted e-mail, tbird launches 'pinentry-curses' in the background (which takes 100% CPU) but never shows the pin entry dialog. I end up having to cancel whatever I'm doing, and in some cases 'kill -9 pinentry-curses'.
My question is "Does anybody know what setting to tweak to tell enigmail to use the correct pinentry dialog?"
Or, is the best bet to dump enigmail and reinstall?
Install pinentry-gtk2 and/or pinentry-qt4, then try again. pinentry should choose automatically the appropriate binary.
Thank you Florian -- that is exactly what it needed! I can't believe I missed that (getting old...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
