Seahorse Couldn't Generate Pgp Key Permission Denied

Posted on by admin

@Celeda, thanks, with -edit-key and and the trust command I managed to get the key trusted. Since my original question was how to copy the key from one machine to another, I think it would be appropriate to add something about that to your answer.

Hi,

  1. GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP).GnuPG allows you to encrypt and sign your data and communications; it features a versatile key management system, along with access modules for all kinds of public key directories.
  2. Join GitHub today. GitHub is home to over 40 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.
  3. Hi, How can I suppress Are you sure you want to use this public key (y/N)? Prompt when running in batch mode. I'm using PGP Command Line 6.5.8 on Windows 2000 I tired +batchmode switch but it.
  4. Re: Default keyring with unknown password in seahorse / gnome-keyring I had the same problem with an unlockable Gnome2 Key Storage (using Ubuntu 15.10). After searching a while, I found that 'Gnome2 Key Storage' used to be called 'User Keys'.

having some issues with seahorse. Under Certificates i find a Keyring 'Gnome2 Key Storage'. Fun-Fact: Neither did i create nor do i have a password for it.

Tried all of my passwords, didn't help. I think i located the file ( home/.local/share/keyring/), but if it gets deleted a new version is created with the same (unknown) password.

And, finally, due to that reason it is not possible to import any certificates into the keyring (which seems not be necessary as it can be done via chromium and enigmail, but hey, then what is the use of this gnome keyring?!)

In an other user account the same keyring was there, just that it could be unlocked with the user password.

I'm running Arch Linux (obviously), Gnome 3.16, Chromium, thunderbird/enigmail.
I updated the System, checked the web, the arch-wiki and forum, but after some hours of effortless research, i need your help.

Did anybody have the same issues?
Does anybody have an idea how to solve it?

Thanks for the support,

Christoph

Pgp Key Example

Update:
To be precise, the keyring is displayed in seahorse, while the keyring remains deleted.

Seahorse lists:

  • Passwords:

  • Default keyring (OK)

  • Login (OK)

  • Certificates:

  • Gnome 2 Key Storage (locked, unknown password, unknown file location)

  • User Key Storage (OK, empty)

Update 2:
OK, Gnome, you store the keyrings here: ~/.local/share/keyring/ - if i delete the files, the according keyrings vanish. But where is the file locatin of 'Gnome2 Key Storage'? I run Gnome 3 btw.
It's note here: ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ (directory does not even exist)
And it's not there: ~/.pki/nssdb/ (couldn't figure out what it is used for, but Gnome2 Key Storage stays after deleting)

I'll keep investigating, though any hints are appreciated, anyway.

Update 3:
~/.gnupg ? Nope.
