[Bug 684902] Re: gnupg-agent not running properly

[Bashar]

I fixed it this way on both 12.04 and 14.04 and i think this also the
correct fix

chmod a+x /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent

Check ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
If not create it and add on one line:
use-agent

Reboot
chk if gpg-agent started
chk if $GPG_AGENT_INFO has something in it
$echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/tmp/gpg-nTe51L/S.gpg-agent:2016:1

fire Kleopatra and shoud work

Title:
  gnupg-agent not running properly

Status in Unofficial Package Updates for Kubuntu:
  New
Status in “gnupg2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  HI there

  I just upgraded from Maverick KDE 4.5.3 and I have a problem signing
  outgoing emails in KMail. When trying to sign outgoing email I get
  this generic error "Signing failed: General error".

  I then tried to pinpoint down the issue and started Kleopatra. It
  reports the following error:

  "Check that gpg-agent is running and that the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable
  is set up-to-date"

  I then purged the gnupga-agent package (sudo apt-get purge gnupg-
  agent) and reinstalled it and kleopatra. The same problems appears.

  In the ~/.gnupg folder I found various gnugp-agnet files. The gpg-
  agent.conf did not mention the above variable but the gpg-agent-info-
  HOSTNAME file does. For me it contains currently:

  "GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-L8LKin/S.gpg-agent:1687:1"

  I don't know what that should be changed to.

  Also when I try to run gpg-agent from the cli I get this error:

  "gpg-agent[4794]: can't connect to `/home/hyper/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent':
  No such file or directory"


  
  Qt: 4.7.0
  KDE Development Platform: 4.5.80 (4.6 Beta1)
  KMail: 1.13.5
