Public bug reported:
Hi,
I have a fresh install of 16.04 since several weeks, and regularly apply
updates.
Somewhere along the lines Evolution stopped to sign a mail with gpg, instead
I get the error message:
Because "gpg: writing to '-'
gpg: signing failed: No passphrase given
gpg: signing failed: No passphrase given
", you may need to select different mail options.
note the double "gpg: signing failed. Unsure if that is relevant.
gpg --list-keys works, and has the key I have in Prefs -> Mail Accounts
-> Edit -> Security
Originally, I got a popup asking for my gpg passphrase, I don't get
that since some update anymore. I'd suspect that is the cluprit.
There is a process gpg-agent running:
gpg-agent --homedir /home/sneumann/.gnupg --use-standard-socket --daemon
=> How to manually invoke the gpg signing with window asking for passphrase ?
Can I check that gpg-agent does what it is supposed to ?
Yours,
Steffen
