[Bug 1299747] Re: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04
Definitely affects Xenial. I thought I somehow kept hitting cancel after the passphrase entry since there is zero dialog to let the user know something is happening. I tried to generate keys five times before I came here to look for a bug, now due to previous comments I see that I have five keys (with identical information) slowly generating in the background---for well over 45min now. This is an i7 w/64 gig ram, I wouldn't expect such a delay in the entropy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299747 Title: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1299747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1299747] Re: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04
THANK YOU to Thomas for this last comment. Even today, running the 17.04 alpha, I thought I had discovered a bug with keys not being generated - when the real problem is that the interface doesn't tell you it will take time for the key to be generated. After waiting several minutes one of the two duplicate keys I attempted to create appeared in my list. The interface generally needs an update to avoid this problem of user confusion. There may be other problems than confusion as well. Since I created two keys with exactly the same name/info, but only see one in my list, how do if I didn't break the process? Not knowing what happened after kicking off the generation, I as a normal user have no idea if it failed to create the second key or it created both but is only showing one in the list because they're not uniquely named. There are four new files in ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/... and it looks like the key's listed only once in pubring.gpg... It's technical enough that the sort of person who actually uses the Password and Keys GUI can have no confidence in their key's state after experiencing this situation. I deleted the key to start over, some of my trepidation was confirmed: I was asked for two separate confirmations when deleting the key - so I'm guessing it was one for each duplicate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299747 Title: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1299747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1299747] Re: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04
I select 'add a new key or item' > PGP Key and I am presented with a dialogue box requesting my Full Name and E-mail address. The first 3 attempts that I made failed but the final attempt seemed to succeed. For the last attempt I avoided expanding the 'Advanced key options' area. I thought that perhaps setting an Expiry Date or Comment was causing an issue. I can see now that I have a second key added. As mentioned above it seems that the real problem is that it takes a very long time to finish the key generation process, over 18 minutes so far on some of the keys. I agree with TORNADO that the interface should give some hint that it is working still rather than silently failing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299747 Title: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1299747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1299747] Re: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04
The problem is caused by very long period when random key generator collects random bytes. You can find "gpg ... --gen-key" process still runs. This operation could take up to few minutes, so users won't wait. When I was investigating this I have restored a snapshot of my VM each time before the key is generated. IMO this issue is related to the interface. We need to have some information that the process of the key creation isn't finished. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299747 Title: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1299747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
