Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seahorse
Seahorse will not generate a new key. I have used gksudo to launch
seahorse from the command line. Seahorse opens. I press on the 'new'
button to generate a new key. I select PGP key and press continue. I
fill out the fields for 'real name', 'email address', and 'comment'. I
click on the arrow for advanced options. I select 4096 for key strength.
I remove the check from the box that says never expires. I click on
'Create'. It asks me for a Passphrase for New PGP Key. I enter my
password two times, the same both times. I click oK.
A box pops up with an error message in it:
<big><b>Couldn't generate PGP key</b></big>
General error
The html tags are in the actual error message. No key is generated.
I am running Ubuntu 8.10
gpg is installed:
e...@leibniz:~$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.9
e...@leibniz:~$ uname -a
Linux leibniz 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64
