This is also a problem with Thunderbird/Enigmail in decrypting email -- seahorse no longer asks for the passphrase and the decryption fails. If I use gpg from the command line, I get the curses prompt. After that the passphrase is cached and Enigmail will decrypt email. The cache still goes away after the previously set time.
A symptom of this problem is in seahorse-preferences -- instead of the dialog in PGP passphrases, you get the message "A supported PGP passphrase agent is not running.", but it is, /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh --write-env-file=/home/ken/.gnupg /gpg-agent-info-neptune /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute x-session- manager -- [hardy] seahorse agent no longer asks for the passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to seahorse in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
