Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

It goes through till I set what I want - RSA key, set the strength (tried the default and later also changed to stronger - no difference in the bug behavior) put in full name and e-mail address and then asked for password and to confirm it. I did all that and the window came up "Generating Key" informing me that if I do a lot of actions such as mouse movements and so on then I help to generate the random data. The bar goes back and forth indicating the process is working. After a while, in some minutes later another window pops up with the message: "Couldn't generate PGP key, General error" Leaves only on option "Close" No key gets generated. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 on a Dell Inspiron 17R system with 8 GB ram. All packages are up to date. No other system errors currently (there was something with wine porfolio package not updating, but I have fixed that yesterday - I wouldn't think that it would be related anyway.) Seahorse version: 3.8.2 Other than this error Seahorse seems to work all right and is keeping my passwords, can add new ones manually and generally seems to perform all right - besides the above bug. The bug can be reproduced every time on my system. Tried it 3 times with the same result. Let me know if I should upload any extra log files. I can help on the rest of the bug process too if needed (can not program, but can test or do other such things). Marked it as security vulnerability since effects a security program, also I need a PGP key for secure work and can't make one.
