This additonal information might help (or make things really strange): I was able to decrypt a message on this system that I sent to myself from another account on a different system using my public key for encryption. So the only thing that doesn't seem to work here is selecting a key for my identity. On Thursday 25 March 2004 17:20, Carsten P. Gehrke wrote:
Hi,
My problem is that the "Your OpenGPG key" dialog box showing my PGP key won't allow me to select it. That is, I can change the background color of the entry in the list by moving the cursor over the entry and clicking the mouse button, but the OK button stays grayed.
I have searched the net for answers, and while I found someone who had the same problem, his solution (disabling the default key in ~/.gnupg/ gpg.conf) did not work (it was already disabled). I have tried to disable gpg-agent in gpg.conf. I have tried to enable the default key in gpg.conf, using my key as the default value. None of these actions have resulted in success.
Using gpg from the command line, I can verify that both the public and private keys exist. The public key is trusted with u/u (I generated it on this machine today). The pub/sec key ID is shown in the dialog box, but not the sub/ssb key ID. I have not tried to encrypt a message yet.
The installation is only a few weeks old, and performed via FTP. KMail is version 1.5.4, KDE is 3.1.4, and gpg is 1.2.2. Any help is greatlyt appreciated.
