[Solved] Pin entry program error (hyprpolkitagent)

Hello everyone!
I recently encountered a problem that gpg-agent does not see hyprpolkitagent
After entering the command gpg --encrypt process freezes

the following message appears in the journal

Jun 27 21:49:14 bars hyprpolkitagent[886]: New PolkitAgentListener  0x55f36b44f0e0
Jun 27 21:49:14 bars hyprpolkitagent[886]: Adding new listener  PolkitQt1::Agent::Listener(0x55f36b44e910) for  0x55f36b44f0e0
Jun 27 21:49:14 bars hyprpolkitagent[886]: "Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject"
Jun 27 21:53:06 bars gpg-agent[879]: can't connect to the PIN entry module '/usr/lib/hyprpolkitagent/hyprpolkitagent': End of file

I use Hyprland with uwsm manager
I also added hyprpolkit enable command in my hyprland.conf file

Stupid question: are you sure that hyprPOLKITagent can serve as pintentry?

Re: [Solved] Pin entry program error (hyprpolkitagent)

To be honest i don't really understand the difference between them, but thanks a lot for the tip. I tried changing hyprpolkitagent to something else (pinentry-gtk) and it worked
I would be very grateful if you could explain what I did wrong or send me a link where I can read it

Re: [Solved] Pin entry program error (hyprpolkitagent)

A polkit agent talks to polkit.
A pinentry implements the ASSUAN  protocol - they're fundamentally different things.
It's certainly possible to implement a bilingual dialog (since they've similar-ish UI demands) but unless you can  cite some hyprland documentation saying that "hyprpolkitagent also talks ASSUAN" there's no reason to believe that it does.
Where did you get the idea?

Re: [Solved] Pin entry program error (hyprpolkitagent)

I was experimenting with different settings and I accidentally noticed that after some change the password input field changed to another one more similar in style to Hyprland window. I started to remember what exactly I was changing on and decided that it was related to hyprpolkitagent

Re: [Solved] Pin entry program error (hyprpolkitagent)

It's plausible that this is hyprlands own polkit agent, but there's no reason to assume that it can serve as pinentry unless you found documentaiton saying otherwise.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
