Re: [SOLVED] gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN

Wow this is weird, at least I can sign emails again. Thank you TE for clearing this up. It didn't work at first until I edited my config files. That wasn't mentioned on the mailing list.

I have no luck so far with enigmail+thunderbird, despite the instructions on the wiki. I can dig further if I know it can work, otherwise I'll just wait. Are you using Enigmail+TB too ? Can you enrypt mails too?

I've closed out the Arch bug report and GnuPG bug report - I tried to describe the change with a new wiki subsection:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … passphrase
Please clean it up with more info from your own testing/usage scenarios. I can only confirm duply/duplicity are working...

as for me, gpg-preset-passphrase still not working with those new options.
after restarting gpg-agent and running /usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-preset-passphrase -c XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,  the damn thing asks passhrase again anyway.
as a workaround, i set default-cache-ttl to 86400 (24h), but that's an ugly crutch.

Re: [SOLVED] gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN

Thank you all for this thread.  The solution provided also work for detach-sign operations... although in my case, it was enough to just added the line to a freshly created ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and not use the extra switch.  In fact, the extra switch throws errors:

% gpg --detach-sign --pinentry-mode loopback --local-user 5EE46C4C md5sums.txt                       :(
gpg: setting pinentry mode 'loopback' failed: Not supported
gpg: skipped "5EE46C4C": No secret key
gpg: signing failed: No secret key

Re: [SOLVED] gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN

Just create a new root key:

		sudo rm -fr /etc/pacman.d/gnupg
		sudo pacman-key --init
		sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux

You probably want to install and start haveged to speed up key generation.  The add and lsign any additional keys needed.

Re: [SOLVED] gnupg 2.1.0-4 upgrade breaks passphrase via STDIN

@Allan - Sorry, I don't understand your suggestion.  How does the contents of /etc/pacman.d/gnupg affect detach-sign operations?

Sorry - I thought this was the pacman-key thread...  I'll stop drinking now...

Now Gajim and Claws-Mail just fail directly instead of asking for a (non-existent) passphrase and then fail.

You may with to visit this thread instead, graysky is having app problems with his package signing:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190781

It's highly possible what I had to do to get unattended passphrase to work with duplicity/duply is not enough for other apps, graysky has been trying a number of things over in that thread... sad
