You haven't answered the question if you only want to use text-mode. If you only use text-mode, add those lines mentioned to ~/.bashrc (or whatever may be your shell initialization file) and properly symlink /usr/bin/pinentry to the pinentry-curses you actually would like to use if you are using text-mode only, I don't know why it should not work. I refer you to the info gnupg manual and its appropriate section 10.3 Commonly Seen Problems. * The Curses based Pinentry does not work Maybe it's helpful for you and for all willing to help if you properly document the output of gen-key with the debug flag set to expert or guru level. gpg2 --gen-key --debug-level [expert|guru] Just a suggestion. Cheers, Stephan P.S. I now see that you have installed gtk-pinentry, so maybe I was wrong and you don't want to use text-mode.
