The problem is caused by very long period when random key generator collects random bytes. You can find "gpg ... --gen-key" process still runs. This operation could take up to few minutes, so users won't wait. When I was investigating this I have restored a snapshot of my VM each time before the key is generated.
IMO this issue is related to the interface. We need to have some information that the process of the key creation isn't finished. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1299747 Title: Cannot create PGP key in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/1299747/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
