GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 335467
evolution doesn't support gpg if keys are on a smartcard
Last modified: 2006-03-22 23:31:01 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 Other information:
please do not file bugs twice. thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 335386 ***
