Sorry, this is the wrong bugtracker for this. Pinentry is a totally separate component, in fact there are multiple versions, they are neither related to KDE nor to KGpg. I've tested it using pinentry-qt on my system, and it works fine. On the other hand, the passphrase for the GnuPG key is a secret itself, having it stored elsewhere and pasted to GnuPG seems strange… Created attachment 97127 [details] snapshot5.jpg OK here's a screen shot see attached, using KGpg, I click on Decrypt and this window pops up asking for my key The problem is I can't past into the field. I use a password manager to make complicated passwords. this happens in Tails too...

Please ask for help there. KGpg does not even trigger this window itself, it is triggered by GnuPG. |
Hi, I got Kgpg to work in Ubuntu using with GNU Privacy Manager "Passwords and Keys" Keypairs are made. I can encrypt fine. The problem is when decrypting a message the pinetry window opens, asking for passphrase, will not let me PASTE in the passphrase neither with ctrl+v nor right-click paste. Well typing in random generated passphrases is not going to work. For example: ~7vRy)^fVY}gfmSKa6?z{:@c3* Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Paste encrypted message 2.click on decrypt button 3. pinetry window opens, asking for passphrase 4. unable to paste in passphrase. Actual Results: frustration Expected Results: ability to paste pass phrase into field and click ok. ok thanks.
