Hi, I'm using Seamonkey on Lubuntu 11.10. Basically, any time I try to decrypt an email from Enigmail (Seamonkey 2.4.1/Enigmail 1.3.3/GnuPG 1.4.11) I get the following error: Error - secret key needed to decrypt message; click on 'Details' button for more information So I do this and get: OpenPGP Security Info Error - secret key needed to decrypt message gpg command line and output: /usr/bin/gpg gpg: failed to create temporary file `/home/alastair/.gnupg/.#lk0x81ebb50.localhost.4251': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `/home/alastair/.gnupg/secring.gpg': general error gpg: failed to create temporary file `/home/alastair/.gnupg/.#lk0x81eca60.localhost.4251': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `/home/alastair/.gnupg/pubring.gpg': general error gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 2260F69E gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID B25CD7DF gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available The output of: ls -dl ~/.gnupg/* # ls -dl ~/.gnupg/* - -rw------- 1 root root 9398 2012-03-06 05:18 /home/alastair/.gnupg/gpg.conf - -rw------- 1 root root 470993 2012-03-06 19:59 /home/alastair/.gnupg/pubring.gpg - -rw------- 1 root root 470993 2012-03-06 19:20 /home/alastair/.gnupg/pubring.gpg~ - -rw------- 1 root root 10079 2012-03-06 19:00 /home/alastair/.gnupg/secring.gpg - -rw------- 1 root root 1760 2012-03-06 19:59 /home/alastair/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg Also: # ls -dl ~/.gnupg/ drw------- 2 root root 4096 2012-03-06 19:59 /home/alastair/.gnupg/ I have also tried: # chown alastair:alastair ~/.gnupg # chown alastair:alastair ~/.gnupg/* # chmod 700 ~/.gnupg/* None of those have worked. Enigmail debug tells me that things are working properly... Can anyone help? Oh, I'm running a torified system using Tor and Polipo. I'm not sure if that is significant - I doubt it. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some help, it's a big problem for me! Many thanks in advance or your attention, Alastair P.S. I know this is signed just fine - I'm on another PC ;) Werner Koch wrote: > Hi, > > if you post an URL which is the actual body of your question, > please also copy and paste the relevant parts from that web page. > This is important for some reasons: > > 1.
