Hello James, this should not be triggered by Déjà Dup, but by a combination of a file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent together with an entry "use-agent" inside of ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf.
Can you check, if the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent does exist at your system and if your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf does include use-agent please? I will move this bug report over to the Downstream Triagers of the ubuntu package gnupg-agent, which may ask more questions about this. ** Changed in: deja-dup Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: deja-dup (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Also affects: gnupg2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Encrypted backup repeatedly asks for password on first use + gnupg-agent not running when needed by Déjà Dup ** Summary changed: - gnupg-agent not running when needed by Déjà Dup + gpg-agent not running when needed by Déjà Dup -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700645 Title: gpg-agent not running when needed by Déjà Dup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1700645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
