kleopatra-3.5.6-0ubuntu6 fails to generate SSL keypair using gpgsm

[Cinquero]

Binary package hint: kleopatra

When I click on "Generate Key Pair & Certificate Request", the GnuPG log shows:

After a second ot two, the kleopatra "Generating Key" status dialog opens and then nothing happens.

I have looked at lsof output and detected that gpgsm is listening on FD 12, but kleopatra (and also every other process) is not connected to it at all on the other side of that pipe!

At other occasions, I get "bad IPC call" messages, so I guess there is something badly wrong with the pipe handling or there is simply a version mismatch between kleopatra and gpgsm 2.0.3-1ubuntu1.

Are you still experiencing this issue? I am having problems trying to confirm this because KLeopatra won't even run for me. I have never used it so I am a bit inexperienced with it. I can find someone online to see if they can confirm if it is still an issue. Thanks!

[Cinquero (cinquero)]

sorry, it would cost me too much time to re-check that.

Thanks anyway!

Cinquero, thanks for the quick response. I checked around on IRC and actually found someone to be my test subject on this and he followed your instructions and said he was able to successfully go through the entire process w/o any problems. If you run across this again or think it is still a problem, I urge you to go ahead and reopen this report. Thanks again Cinquero.
