"general error" in kleopatra [SOLVED]

hello!

i few days back i was stuck in this error when i was trying to create new key pair in kleopatra:
/General Error/

creating key pair from commend line was working but any app with gui had problem.

today i found a slution:
1- remove these config files:

rm ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
rm ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

2- then remove the gpg-agent commend in .bashrc or .xinitrc

3- edit /usr/bin/pinentry and set the pinentry gui there:

sudo nano /usr/bin/pinentry

in my case it was:

exec /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 "$@"

4- make sure pinentry gui is working:

echo GETPIN | pinentry

in my case its also need libgrc so i install it using pacman:

sudo pacman -S grc

reboot and done!

Re: "general error" in kleopatra [SOLVED]

Thank you very much, in my case I use KDE Plasma 6 it works for me with exec /usr/bin/pinentry-qt "$@"
