> gpgsm: line 1: key generation failed: Unknown IPC command <GpgSM> Most likely the gpg-agent is not running or not properly installed. Check the manual on how to do install the gpg-agent. A quick test to see whether the gpg-agent is working is to run gpg-agent without any options. You may want to configure a log file for the gpg-agent to see what is going on. Put these lines into ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf before starting gpg-agent: ====== log-file /somewhere/gpg-agent.log debug 1024 verbose ======= In the log you should see a "GENKEY" command.
