 |
|
I'm trying to encrypt/decrypt files in gnome with a key that worked just fine when I was in KDE 4.3.*.
I've installed seahorse-plugins to get the encrypt option in the context menu, but clicking it, selecting my key and pressing OK does absolutely nothing that I can see. Decrypting doesn't appear to work either - nothing happens.
I have seahorse-daemon in my "startup applications" list, but for some reason it doesn't start when I login. Only seahorse-agent does, and until I manually start seahorse-daemon gnome doesn't think I have any keys to encrypt with.
My gnupg version is 2.0.11.
My gpgme version is 1.2.0.
My seahorse version is 2.26.2.
It's completely broken as far as I can tell. What can I do to fix it?

| I can't find any bug reports about this either. I may not have something configured correctly, but I have no idea where to start looking. |

I found out that "seahorse-tool" is the way to encrypt files using seahorse with the command line, so I was able to get some error output:
| Code: | | ** (seahorse-tool:27652): CRITICAL **: prompt_recipients: assertion `GPG_IS_OK (gerr)' failed |
Is it saying it can't use my current gnupg version? I've tried using the current stable version (2.0.11) and the latest ~ version (2.0.14) and I get the same result. I've also tried the 2.28 versions of seahorse and seahorse-plugins and still get the same problem.
I have the same problem with both of my gentoo boxes, but they have similar packages installed (gnome), I usually update them at the same time (every sunday) and they are both amd64. |

So, I've managed to find two bug reports where Gentoo users have got the same error I'm getting.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281729
and
https://bugs.gentoo.org/265016
One of them is a gpgme problem with seahorse 2.24, but it doesn't help with 2.26. I tried an earlier gpgme version anyways and seahorse couldn't use it. The other bug is has to do with ldap support, maybe? It was closed as RESOLVED/NEEDINFO, however. I have tried compiling gnupg and seahorse without ldap support, but that did not change anything.
When I tried seahorse 2.28, the problem of it not starting up correctly was fixed, but otherwise it was the same. |

| Are there any other programs connected with seahorse that I should look at and recompile? |

227 views and no one else has commented? Am I doing something wrong?  |

No, probably nobody else is using seahorse to encrypt/decrypt stuff.
I would post in the bug report that looks the most like the same problem, or even open a new bug report. |

Sounds like a good idea. I know seahorse is the default encrypt/decryption program for gnome, and I've been using it only because I don't know what the cli alternatives are. What can I use instead?
edit: I found out
Do the job pretty well. Seahorse as of right now though. |
