Sometime you have to set one of the following. # PIN entry program pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses # no X pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-kwallet pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 to whatever suits you in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. Hope that helps.
