Echoing the last entry, this is (also) an Ubuntu bug.

[Bug 884856] Re: gnome-keyring integration breaks some GPG functions
(Resurrecting a long-idle thread. Sorry.) This issue has also propagated to Linux Mint 14, an Ubuntu derivative. I was having difficulty using my German Privacy Foundation Crypto Stick with Mint or Ubuntu. While it doesn't solve the underlying issue (that is, the gnome-keyring agent doesn't play nice with smartcards), one can easily disable the offending agent and thus restore normal GPG operations in the following ways * Unity desktop (GUI method): * MATE (fork of GNOME 2) desktop (GUI method): Click Menu -- Preferences -- Startup Applications. Uncheck the GPG Password Agent (it appears twice as the GNOME Keyring and MATE Keyring). * MATE (fork of GNOME 2) desktop (command line method): 1. Open a terminal. 2. Execute the following commands as your user account (root is not required): mkdir ~/.config/autostart cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ echo X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=false ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop 3. Log out of your session and log back in. 4. Test to make sure things are working. * Cinnamon (or Unity) desktop: 1. Open a terminal. 2. Execute the following commands as your user account (root is not required): mkdir ~/.config/autostart cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ echo X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop 3. Log out of your session and log back in. 4. Test to make sure things are working. * How to test if things are working: 1. Open a terminal. 2. Execute the following command as your user account (root is not required): echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO 3. a. If S.gpg-agent (or nothing, in the case of Unity, oddly enough) appears in the result, GPG will use the normal GPG agent. (Example: /home/pete/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent:2120:1) b. If keyring appears in the result, GPG will use the GNOME keyring agent and you will likely not be able to access the smartcard. (Example /run/user/pete/keyring-k4pQam/gpg:0:1) The exact paths, usernames, and numbers in the responses will vary. This is normal. It's the presence of either S.gpg-agent or keyring that identify which agent is being used. 4. Run gpg2 --card-status (or gpg --card-status if you don't have gnupg2 installed) to verify that GPG is able to communicate with the card. * Even though it doesn't solve the underlying problem, I hope this workaround is helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884856 Title: gnome-keyring integration breaks some GPG functions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/884856/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 884856] Re: gnome-keyring integration breaks some GPG functions
the new comments on how to disable the gnome-keyring agents are orthogonal to the bug described there, ideally the GPG agent would be good enough that it doesn't need to be disabled, somebody should still report the bug to GNOME if we want to see it worked. note that we hide system components from the startup applications list because they confuse most users, those technical enough to change their gpg agent should be able to deal with a command line ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884856 Title: gnome-keyring integration breaks some GPG functions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/884856/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 884856] Re: gnome-keyring integration breaks some GPG functions
Ok, it seems I misunderstood the gnome-keyring-daemon startup procedure. Apparently --daemonize --login spawns kind of an empty shell for the functionality (accepting the password through PAM) but does not actually initialize any functionality. For that additional calls the gnome- keyring-daemon with the options --start --components=… (listing the desired component or components) are necessary. As such the PAM module call is actually correct and the fault for gnome-keyring-daemon uncontrollably taking over GPG functions lies elsewhere. (It's just rather confusing because the later calls to --start --components don't leave any traces and looking at the running process list will only show one gnome-keyring-daemon process with --daemonize --login.) In theory, and apparently in some practical cases as evidenced by comment 4 and some other hints on the web, the modules should be started by the session and selectable in gnome-session-properties. However, that doesn't seem to be the case, for Oneiric at least: I tried creating a new user account on my system, and tried a friend's installation (to exclude the possibility of something being wrong with my installation): There is no entry for any gnome-keyring-daemon module in the startup programs list. Instead, there are multiple /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-….desktop files, one each for gpg, secrets, pkcs11 and ssh with no obvious UI to disable any of them. WORKAROUND: Removing the /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop file releases (after logging out and in again) gnome-keyring-daemon's grip over the GPG agent functionality and lets gpg and gpgsm work normally again. -- Steps to reproduce -- 1. On a normal Ubuntu Oneiric installation log in normally. 2.
