 Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2016 8:37 am Post subject: GPG over SSH with existing X session? |
 |
|
I have had no luck attempting to use gpg while over SSH while having an existing session already running.
I have a headless server that has no X whatsoever and it always happily shows the GPG ncurses screen for a password. I want to get the same thing to happen on my primary desktop.
Something starts GPG as me (not root), because Thunderbird is able to see it and sign emails. Pinentry-gtk works fine.
Not using X over SSH, and I ssh in:
| Code: | $ gpg -s
gpg: WARNING: server 'gpg-agent' is older than us (2.1.14 < 2.1.15)
gpg: using "1AFD9AFC120C26DD" as default secret key for signing
some text

It isn't quite clear from your description what exactly your setup is and which commands are being run on one machine. It also looks like you're running 2.1, which I'm not familiar with yet.
| Code: | $ gpg -s
gpg: WARNING: server 'gpg-agent' is older than us (2.1.14 < 2.1.15)
gpg: using "1AFD9AFC120C26DD" as default secret key for signing
some text
gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

GPG_TTY, or so is my understanding, needs to be correct for the current terminal session. If it gets inherited from a remote machine, it's probably wrong. In the above session, does the output of tty match the contents of GPG_TTY?

In an X session, gpg-agent is launched by whatever is starting the session. Without that, a temporary gpg-agent is launched by gpg itself. |
