Hi folks, I wanted to import my secret key into thunderbird, but thunderbird can not read the directory.
What an I doing wrong? I do (my thunderbird is in German, so my English translation might not be quite accurate): - starting thunderbird - chose in "Open PGP" the option "add key" - click "add existing key" - click "files for import" - now chose in my /home the folder .gnupg/private-keys-v1.d and then I get Error opening /home/myusername/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d Access not granted --- the settings for these are set: drwxr-xr-x 6 myusername myusername 20480 24. Mär 17:51 .gnupg drwxr-xr-x 6 myusername myusername 20480 24. Mär 17:51 .gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/ The keys themselves are set "rw" and owner is "myusername:myusername" The only explanation I have, that thunderbird is calling a plugin with another owner than me, as thunderbird itself is started with ownership "myusername". However, even if I set the rights to "everybody can read it" (what is of course only set for testing purposes!) it does not work. Anything else, where I should take a look? Thanks for any hints. Best regards Hans
