Description LC 2013-11-12 21:37:20 UTC
Trying to add Servernames to "Configuration of directory Services" get the above noted error, click through it twice then I am in the configure screen but the "new" button is greyed out.  I hit the "revert to defaults" button then get the same error message popping up. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Settings
2.Select Configure Kleopatra
3.Error message pops up, you have to click OK, then get the message once more, click through and the Configuration properties window opens.
Actual Results:  
Unable to add directory services

Expected Results:  
Within the Configuration of directory services, I should be able to click on "new" then add a Server to the service. 

Of course I cannot look up certificates as I get the message that I have to configure a Directory Server service first,,, kind of stuck in the loop..  I am running it on Win7 64 bit, but have also run it under compatibility settings in windows XP 32 bit..

Application has this bug on roaming profiles on Windows. (Desktop, UserProfile etc. are stored on fileserver). When I use local user account (local administrator) is everything OK.

i can confirm that bug for gpg4win on a win7 pro 64bit, Userprofiles, %appdata% on a network path.
Comment 3 Christopher Hoskin 2014-09-26 03:36:01 UTC
I also have this problem. I think this is an issue with gpgconf rather than Kleopatra. For example, from the command line:

gpgconf --list-options gpg
gpgconf: Option gpgconf-gpg.conf, needed by backend GnuPG, is not absolute
gpgconf: fatal error (exit status 1)

A quick workaround is to set the path to GNUPGHOME to somewhere else e.g.

SET GNUPGHOME=c:\private\gnupg
cd %ProgramFiles%\GNU\gnupg
kleopatra.exe
Comment 4 Hans Fugers 2014-12-15 21:04:12 UTC
Last suggestion does not work form me.
ran: C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG>gpgconf --check-config
result: 
gpgconf: can not open global config file `C:\ProgramData\GNU\etc\gnupg\gpgconf.conf': No such file or directory

and   C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG>gpgconf --list-dirs
resulted
sysconfdir:C%3a\ProgramData\GNU\etc\gnupg
bindir:C%3a\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG
libexecdir:C%3a\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG
libdir:C%3a\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\lib\gnupg
datadir:C%3a\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\share\gnupg
localedir:C%3a\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\share\locale
dirmngr-socket:C%3a\WINDOWS\S.dirmngr
agent-socket:\\fspaka01\appdata1a$\uan401\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\S.gpg-agent
homedir:\\fspaka01\appdata1a$\uan401\AppData\Roaming\gnupg

sysconfdir is obvious wrong but cannot change it with the commandline! suggestions?
