Screen shot of error message
This is the error message that gets displayed.
AFAIK gnupg uses gpg-agent transparently and calls the password callback function in the application in case gpg-agent was not found (i.e. it's only a fallback option). In that case this would be a gnupg bug and not a kmail one. I'd like somebody with more knowledge to comment on this though :) When KMail says gpg-agent cannot be found, try signing something using gpg from the command-line. If it asks for your password in the terminal, gpg-agent cannot be found by anything, so it's not a KMail bug. Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback. |
