Off-topic for Seahorse, but the reporter's (and my) real problem is about signing in LibreOffice. I've found a way to sign document in LibreOffice on Ubuntu:
LibreOffice searches a keystore in this order: a.) The environment variable MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER b.) The Thunderbird profile c.) The Mozilla suite profile d.) The Firefox profile. (source: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/How_to_use_digital_Signatures ) So you do not need seahorse to sign documents in LibreOffice, only Thunderbird or Firefox. Steps: 1. Import your certificate into Thunderbird or Firefox key store (Edit, Preferences, etc.). 2. LO help says: "It is also necessary that the trust settings for the root certificates are set to trust the certificate to identify web sites and e-mail users." Make sure they are set. 3. In LibreOffice, Tools, Options, LibreOffie\Security, in "Certificate Path" the first keystore (for me) is "/home/lml/.thunderbird/something.default". (Note: - It seems you can choose between thunderbird and firefox keystore, but you can't. - The LO help mentions the "Certificate Detection" page, the Basic script there gives the same result. ) Override this detected value using the following command to start LibreOffice using terminal: MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER=sql:/home/lml/.thunderbird/something.default soffice (use your own path for Thunderbird or Firefox keystore) The trick is to add "sql:" to the beginning of the value and override the (otherwise correct) detected path. Maybe there is a problem in LibreOffice not able to use the certificate folder... I'm using Ubuntu 19.10, LibreOffice 6.3.2, Thunderbird 60.9. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771880 Title: Seahorse unable to import pkcs12 certificates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/seahorse/+bug/1771880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
