Hi Bernhard,     It seems that the problem was caused by "sudo su":    For some reason on Linux Redhad 8, "sodu su" does not behave as in the earlier version.     There is no difference between "sudo su - XYZ" and "sudo su XYZ".     Actually, I failed to generate the key pair when I l

Fw: GPG problem

Good Morning Everyone,   I have recently been working on a new Linux system with GPG 2.2.20.   I have had no problem generating the key pair. Then I have used the new public key to encrypt a file without problem. However, the decryption attempt has failed due to no secret key error.

Re: GPG Problem - invalid radix64 character

In the future, instead of GPG or OpenSSL I would suggest an encrypted filesystem such as an encrypted folder or partition or Truecrypt volume. The advantage of those is that a single bit error is likely to only affect one file. If you archive the files before transferring them to your encrypted
