Hi, Kmail is giving me issues with setting up a GPG for signing. I'm hoping someone can help. I've never used a signing key for my email, but one of my friend's email keeps getting hacked, and I've been hacked a couple times, so it would help if he and I both could have a signing key. I tried generating a gpg key using both the "gpg --gen-key" command and using KGPG. KGPG recognizes both the key I used it to generate, and the key I generated with the gpg key (as in, both keys show up). KGPG shows both keys as being trusted ultimately. Kmail recognizes both keys, but the OK button is greyed out, and question marks are next to both keys. To add the keys, I went to the Kmail settings -> Identities -> Default identity -> Modify -> Cryptography -> OpenPGP Signing Key -> Change. Both keys are here but unselectable as described above. In Kmail settings -> Security -> Crypto Backends, both "OpenPGP (gpg)" and "S/MIME (gpgsm)" are selectable (not grayed out) and check marked. In ~/.gnugp/gpg.conf, I have the 'use-agent' option on it's own line (without quotes, of course). In ~/.gnugp/gpg-agent.conf, I put the following as suggested in my Google searches: --- pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-x11 no-grab default-cache-ttl 1800 --- I have tried with gpg-agent running in daemon mode, and without it running at all. I have KGPG running in my system tray. When gpg-agent is running, I have KGPG set to use it, and I unset it when gpg-agent isn't running. For those who need a visual of my Kmail not accepting my GPG keys, I uploaded a screenshot to http://linuxjutsu.com/~kris/Pictures/kmail_gpg_prob.png . Both keys there are mine, generated on my machine under the user that I am logged in as. Since both are Ultimately Trusted, they should be accepted. Reread Keys in the Kmail dialog doesn't help, nor does right clicking the keys and selecting Recheck. The certificate manager button, and the Search For External Certificates button, both open Kleopatra. I don't want to use a certificate, I want to use one of the GPG keys that it's listing. Any suggestions much appreciated. -- Kristopher Gamrat Ark Linux webmaster http://www.arklinux.org/
