Public bug reported: I will discribe the steps I am taking and hopefully someone will know what to do.
I created a folder /home/marion/Vault. I right click on the folder and select Encrypt... I get a dialog "No encryption keys were found... The program Passwords and Encryption Keys will now be started... either create a key or import one." I click ok. The Passwords and Encryption Keys window opens. I click the New button at the bottom. The Create a New Key window opens. I click PGP Ky and click Continue. The New PGP Key window opens. I enter my full name, email address, and a comment. Then I click Create. The Passphrase for New PGP Key window opens. I enter the passphrase twice, and click Ok. The Generation key window opens, with primegen in and a progressbar moving left and right. After approximately 4 minutes I get the following error. <big><b>Couldn't generate PGP key</b></big> General error and a close button. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Intrepid] Unable to encrypt a folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297206 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
