GnuPG (Windows XP) Problem
Hi, I have a problem. I have 2 computers and I set one up with GnuPG(GPG) with a key. I use Thunderbird to send and receive encrypted email with no problems. The second computer is not set with any key. I want to setup the second computer with with the "Same" email like the first computer with a key, but it doesn't work. When I start to generate my key, it fails. Here is what I did. I typed in my name, enter the "Same" email, basically everything is all the same. Once I entered my pass phrase, it starts generating the key. After a couple of minutes, I get the below error. gpg: no writable public keyring found: eof Key generation failed: eof gpg: can't create `C:/GnuPG\random_seed': No such file or directory *My path variable under mycomputer/properties/path is the following* %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;;"C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\MailFrontier" Some people add the path ";c:\program files\GNU\GnuPG" after MailFrontier or whatever their path is set to, but I'm assuming that I don't need to do that because on my other computer it is setup with GnuPG and has the same path as mentioned above and still everything is ok. I'm all out of ideas on how to fix this. I've googled all day and I found a few people with the same problem, but theres were in linux and mine is in Windows. The solution for linux was to make sure it had read and write access(something similar to that) and a few other things which looked pretty easy to fix by the way. I tried grabbing some of those hints and applying them to Windows, but it doesn't seem to work. It was at least worth a try tho. smile.gif But so far I've found nothing related to Windows. That's about all the information I can think of right now. PS, If there's a way to fix this, please inform me. Detailed instructions would be nice by the way. Thank You. Running...

Weird Error Message
I have a computer setup with GnuPG and everything so far is working ok. I recently sent a "Signed email"(not encrypted) to one of my friends at hotmail. She responded back, her message came through ok but then there was an error. The below is the following error. OpenPGP Security Info Error - signature verification failed gpg command line and output: G:\\Program Files\\GNU\\GnuPG\\gpg.exe --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -d gpg: Signature made 08/15/06 01:19:02 using DSA key ID FJEIFLSA gpg: BAD signature from "My_name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"; ^ What does the above mean?

openpgp card woes: 'secret key not available'
Hi all, in my ongoing quest to make use of my OpenPGP card I've finally managed to add several card subkeys to my key following http://www.fsfe.org/en/card/howto/subkey_howto However, I seem to have done something wrong (again): > gpg -ev msg gpg: using subkey B0DACEAB instead of primary key 0DC0B7D6 gpg: reading from `msg' File `msg.gpg' exists. Overwrite? (y/N) y gpg: writing to `msg.gpg' gpg: RSA/AES encrypted for: "B0DACEAB Wouter van Heyst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" So far, so good. > gpg -vd msg.gpg gpg: public key is B0DACEAB gpg: using subkey B0DACEAB instead of primary key 0DC0B7D6 gpg: detected reader `SCM SCR 335 (21120617208489) 00 00' gpg: reader slot 0: active protocol: T1 gpg: slot 0: ATR=3B FA 13 00 FF 81 31 80 45 00 31 C1 73 C0 01 00 00 90 00 B1 gpg: AID: D2 76 00 01 24 01 01 01 00 01 00 00 03 54 00 00 PIN gpg: verify CHV1 failed: invalid passphrase gpg: using subkey B0DACEAB instead of primary key 0DC0B7D6 gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit RSA key, ID B0DACEAB, created 2006-08-15 "Wouter van Heyst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" gpg: public key decryption failed: invalid passphrase gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available gpg complains about an invalid passphrase, but it didn't even prompt for one. I'm also not sure what the 'secret key not available' is about, according to `gpg --card-status`: Encryption key: 6D70 3242 0A9E A10F 2A57 9E88 D886 E99A B0DA CEAB created : 2006-08-15 13:37:02 I've ensured gpg-agent and/or scdaemon are not running, they have caused weird problems in the past. Not sure what is wrong now. mvgr, Wouter van Heyst ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
