Description Stefano Maffulli 2006-03-22 08:35:32 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I want to use a smartcard to store my encryption/decryption and signing keys for
gpg.  GPG supports smartcard just fine. I try to use the key that is on the card
to sign or encrypt with Evolution, evo just hangs and sits forever waiting for
an answer from gnupg that is not right.  I should be asked to enter a pin
instead of the passphrase.

Steps to reproduce:
1. follow steps on http://www.fsfe.org/en/card/howto/subkey_howto to put your
key on smartcard
2. write an email message, choose to encrypt or sign it
3. send it


Actual results:
I guess that evolution doesn't receive the expected response from gpg and hangs

Expected results:
you should be asked to enter a pin

Does this happen every time?
yes
