since today sending signed mail or cryped massages with a key no more works : bad pass phrase (stored in kwallet)
it looks like this bug is related to a boot with the latest proposed kernel 3.8.0-14-generic. No problems with kernel 3.8.0-13-generic.
Can you tell more inforamtions - what kind of key you use? Is the bug still present?
I am using keys that worked before built with the normal procedure with : gpgsm --gen-key and anyways it is not a problem of keys as as explained in my bug report if I do this in a konsole : eval "`gpg-agent --daemon`" kmail it works and without asking for anything. But if I use the normal way with, when opening a KDE session, execution of the following script "start-gpg-agent.sh" located in "/home/my_user/.kde/Autostart" and containing this : #!/bin/sh eval "`gpg-agent --daemon`" it does not work when trying to send a signed message. The first time it opens a window saying that KWallet CLI has requested to open kdewallet. When I follow the procedure nothing happens: the message is never sent. The question is for me as user what is the difference between konsole procedure asking for nothing and the normal one when after opening my kde session I use kmail? What is more surprising is that if I open a konsole right after opening my KDE session if I do : echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO I get someting like this : /tmp/gpg-hywGcN/S.gpg-agent:3873:1 but if I open Kmail in this konsole sending a signed message does not work. I all cases in my konsole I have to do : eval "`gpg-agent --daemon`" each time before executing kmail. This configuration problem arose when I migrated from kubuntu 13.04 to 13.10
if I replace pine-entry-kwallet by pine-entry-qt4 it works fine but of course it does ask for the pass phrase each time. I think the problem is with pine-entry-kwallet that does not properly store information and threfore when sending a signed message the pass phrase cannot be retrieved. How can I test the way the information is stored in kwallet for each new key?
pine-entry-kwallet? this is a programm i don't know. On my system there are only: pinentry-curses pinentry-x11 pinentry-qt pinentry-doc pinentry-gtk2 pinentry-x2go pinentry-qt4 (*installed) pinentry-gtk To not enter the password not every time gpg-agent is used see .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4 default-cache-ttl 1800 ^^default-cache-ttl Set the time a cache entry is valid to n seconds. The default is 600 seconds. You use SMIME Keys, right?
pineentry-kwallet is a program included in kwalletcli allowing to set and getr passwords in th default KDE wallet (kwalletmanager). Once th KWallet is activated once by a password, all passwords will be retrieved from it like for accessing a protected bak site, pop mail, etc... You no more have to answer the passphrase each time when sending a signed message. You said "You use SMIME Keys, right?" Sandro how can I verify this?
