Adding this to your .bashrc (or equivalent) should allow whichever terminal you're using to access the gpg-agent https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Configure_pinentry_to_use_the_correct_TTY _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
