gpg-agent should not only be running. The problem is that kmail must be |
| 18 |
able to find it. For this gpg-agent outputs some bash code that would set |
| 19 |
an environment variable. If kmail does not see this variable, it cannot |
| 20 |
find gpg-agent (indeed, broken behaviour). Assuming you use gdm or kdm to |
| 21 |
start your session you would need to add this code to your ~/.xprofile |
| 22 |
'eval "`gpg-agent --daemon 2`"; export GPG_AGENT_INFO' |
| 23 |
without the single quotes. You might want to add some code to prevent |
| 24 |
multiple gpg-agent instances running, but the above is sufficient. |
