Re: Error messages when generating new keys

2011-07-06 Thread Olivier N. 

Hello Werner,


2. I tried  $ gpg2 --gen-key, chose default options
and entered my infos (email address, name,…)
and I got:
   gpg: problem with the agent: Bad CA certificate
   gpg: problem with the agent: Invalid card
   gpg: Key generation canceled.


You are either running a version of gpg-agent which is too old or gpg
started that version of gpg-agent but expected another one.  Or there is
another daemon taking over the connection between gpg2 and gpg-agent.
Seahorse as well as the gnome-keychain(?) used to do this (which is
something they should not do).

Adding the options --verbose --debug 2048 to the command line may give
you some more insight.  Make sure all gpg-agent's are stopped.


I modified a lot my Linux box these last few days:
upgrades, new WM (ratpoison instead of gnome) and so on.

I then tried gpg2 again and I have no error message anymore.
Great! Even though I have no idea what solved my problem.

In a few days, I'll have to install it and use it on
computers running Windows. Hope everything will run fine.

Thanks again,

Olivier

Please describe exactly what you are doing and what versions of GnuPG
are you using.  Are you using a smartcard?  Which one?

Error messages when generating new keys

2011-06-23 Thread Olivier N. 

Hello!

I'm a newbie GPG user. I'm using Linux and GPG2.

When generating new keys, I get several error messages:

gpg: problem with the agent: Bad CA certificate
gpg: problem with the agent: Invalid card
gpg: Key generation canceled.

What mean “Bad CA certificate” and “Invalid card”?
How can I solve these problems?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Olivier
