Hi,

I have an annoying problem with psi and the new gpg 2.0.
I am using my key for jabber in psi with two accounts - since there is that pinentry coming with gnupg I have to type in my passphrase for each account - everytime I change my status (online 2x -> away 2x -> online again 2x...)
That is horrible - the passphrase is not getting cached in any way.

Thunderbird is still using its own pinentry window so I'm not sure if it's maybe psi's fault but I would be glad to know how I can avoid using gnupg's pinentry and keep the built-in one in psi or at least getting rid of having to type in the passphrase everytime doing something....

Ideas?

I'm also seeing this behaviour. It's really annoying.

You can try the following steps:
1. Uncomment or append the line in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:
Code:
use-agent

2. Edit the file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
Code:
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
allow-mark-trusted
default-cache-ttl 3602
debug-level expert
log-file socket:///home/user/.gnupg/log-socket
#                      ^^^^^ your user

If you are using kde: (if not, you have to start it in a other way)
3. Edit the file /usr/kde/3.5/env/agent-startup.sh:
Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
  eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi

4. Edit the file /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown/agent-shutdown.sh:
Code:
if [ -n "${GPG_AGENT_INFO}" ]; then
  kill $(echo ${GPG_AGENT_INFO} | cut -d':' -f 2) >/dev/null 2>&1
fi

My gpg-agent keeps crashing constantly when using it with kopete or mutt. After decrypting two or three messages, it is not running anymore. This is very annoying.

Hello,

There is no use for you to correspond here.
If agent is crashing or you have other problems, please open a bug report.

For psi, I guess it would be:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197588

For agent crashing, please open a new bug, and attach the agent debug log.

Thanks.
