While this comes too late for signing the tag of your submitted thesis (congratulations!), this is likely caused by a missing GPG_TTY variable. https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Common-Problems.html The gpg-agent man page nowadays includes the following hint: It is important to set the GPG_TTY environment variable in your login shell, for example in the ‘~/.bashrc’ init script: export GPG_TTY=$(tty) Regards, Peter
