I suspect you have neither changed the trust level of this key (usually to ultimate for private keys) nor set "allow encryption with untrusted keys"? I did changed the trust level. I tried both "Fully" and "Ultimate" levels, but still no luck. Having set "allow encryption with untrusted keys" the encryption succeeded. Right now my key has trust level "Fully". As I understands, this level is enough to encrypt the file. But encryption is not working when the "allow encryption with untrusted keys" switch is off. When it is on, I can encrypt. For now I will turn on that switch and personally I have nothing wrong with it. But, isn't it a wrong behaviour? Please run "gpg --update-trustdb" from commandline and try again. Maybe something hasn't been refreshed correctly. (In reply to comment #4) > Please run "gpg --update-trustdb" from commandline and try again. Maybe > something hasn't been refreshed correctly. > gpg --update-trustdb gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found I tried to change the secret level to Ultimate, but as soon as press apply Apply button in the Key Properties dialog, the KGpg starts showing the busy sign. If I reopen the dialog again, the level is not Ultimate. Restarting Kgpg doesn't help either. I will try to re-import the key. Setting trust to ultimate had a bug in 4.5.0, please upgrade to 4.5.1 where this is fixed (see bug 244288). Created attachment 51361 [details]

Public key, that has been exported separately.
Ok, thanks. I will try that. I just got one more question. When I exported my private key, I assume, that the public key has been exported together with it. I Also exported the public key separately. But when I compare them, I see that they are different. Do you know, what can be the reason for that? Please see attachments for both keys. (In reply to comment #6) > Setting trust to ultimate had a bug in 4.5.0, please upgrade to 4.5.1 where > this is fixed (see bug 244288). I will have to wait a little bit, because there is only kgpg 4.5.0 in openSUSE's repositories. I can't see any differences between those two keys. (In reply to comment #11) > I can't see any differences between those two keys. The difference begins on the 30th line in the 56th column and goes till the end of the key. I imported both into gpg and used "gpg --list-keys --with-colons" and did not have any differences. What happens in the files is "out of my scope", that's a question you should ask the GnuPG guys if you want to get an answer. I'm sorry for the delay, but there is no kgpg 4.5.1 for openSUSE in in its repositories. So I can try this new version. I will write a feedback as soon as kgpg 4.5.1 packages comes out. Thank you for the link. I'm on openSUSE 11.1 and explored only 11.1 repositories. But anyway, I installed kgpg 4.5.1 and now I can easily set any Trust level without any problems and encrypting is ok. Just to clarify I have a question: When my key has trust level "Fully", doesn't that imply that the key is trusted and I can ecnrypt files without enabling "allow encryption with untrusted keys" option? Thanks for your help. The trust level you set at this point is the owner trust, i.e. how much you trust the keys _signed_ by this key. Setting it to ultimate also has the side effect that you trust the key _itself_. http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/kgpg/manage.html#keysigning (In reply to comment #17) > The trust level you set at this point is the owner trust, i.e. how much you > trust the keys _signed_ by this key.
