enigmail, openpgp card and ubuntu hardy

alge

Wednesday 06 August 2008

After upgrading to hardy Thunderbird/Enigmail stopped working together with my FSFE Card.

It took me quite a while, to notice that I was missing the pinentry program.

  apt-get install pinentry-gtk2

solved the problem.

EDIT:

gnupg-agent seems also to be necessary, so

  apt-get install gnupgp-agent

and enable "use-agent" in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and restart your X-session.
