[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
Never mind. The setting has just moved. Instead of going to Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys, you go to System->Preferences->Encryption and Keyrings. It has a PGP Passphrases tab, where you can fix the problem, as mentioned in TomT's last message. -- Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
I'm having this issue, and 1) Disabling “Use gpg-agent for passphrases” does nothing, nor does enabling it. 2) Seahorse does not seem to have any "Passphrase Cache" tab in its preferences. Due to this, I'm unable to fix my problem, as TomT's solution no longer works.

[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
I actually manage to "solve" it. It turns out that the solution was simply to bring up Seahorse (Found under Applications->Acessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys) and in that application open the Preferences. There is a tab shown as "Passphrase Cache", in that tab, activate the second alternative "Cache passphrase for __ minutes". FIll in how long your maximum caching should be and save. After doing this, passphrase caching started working in both Thunderbird/Enigmail and in Evolution. -- Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
I have had the same problem but I SOLVED deactivating "Use gpg-agent for passphrases". Steps: * Go to OpenPGP menu > Preferences * Enable "Display expert settings" * Go to Advanced tab * Disable "Use gpg-agent for passphrases". This solved the problem for me.

[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
Like the original reporter, I recently switched to Gutsy, and with that came an upgrade to Thunderbird - My problem is exactly the same: No passphrase cacheing occurs. I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 and originally used Enigmail 0.95.0. As a part of trying to get the cacheing to work, I manually installed Enigmail 0.95.6, but the problem persists. -- Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
The man page of gpg2 says: "gpg2 always requires the agent." You cannot turn it off. I had similar problems, but even worse, because enigmail rejected to sign/decrypt at all. In the logs it seemed that without asking at all enigmail though a wrong passphrase was entered. When I switched to gpg2, and the error message was: "gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry". So I installed Seahorse as an altervative to gnupg-agent and removed gnupg-agent. But gpg2 refused to work with it, although seahorse automatically edited the gpg.conf. So I switched back to gpg (version 1) and everything was fine. sandoz -- Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
I switched to gpg2, unchecked use gpg-agent in the Enigmail options, and removed the use-agent line from gnupg.conf and gpg.conf. Yet I'm still having the same issue. It looks like enigmail is still using the --use-agent flag when I chec the console.

[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
I am no longer experiencing the problem. In enigmail I have gpg set to /usr/bin/gpg2 and I have unchecked the use gpg-agent. I have remember passphrase for 5 minutes of idle time. In ~/.gnupg.conf I removed the line 'use-agent' which I had added previously. I read that gpg-agent is not compatible with seahorse. -- Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 156561] Re: Enigmail does not cache passphrase anymore
I've got the same problem. Enigmail worked fine in Feisty but doesn't remember any passphrases in Gutsy. I'm also using Thunderbird version 2.0.0.6 (20071022) with Enigmail version 0.95.5 (20071027). gpg seems to get called twice while signing an email, so I get asked for my passphrase twice for every one I send.

I am experiencing the same problem in Thunderbird/enigmail. I am using Gutsy, can't comment on behaviour in feisty.
