Comment 20 for bug 706011

It is people like you that make novices hate computers. You get all uptight about stupid security restrictions and then go on a random diatribe on an issue that is more than a year old and is marked as 'invalid'. This is exactly why Linux will never be a desktop os for the masses.

Anyway, my usecase doesn't need strong crypto... all I need f*cking keys for is to sign debians which are behind a f*cking firewall so that I don't have to deal with the f*cking 'this package isn't signed' warning. I'm running in a VM... not even real hardware... I certainly am not going to buy a piece of f*cking hardware just to generate some keys I don't give a sh*t about. You're absurd to even suggest that.

Maybe the bigger issue with with the way gnupg works... the user experience is terrible. Just freezing up and not doing anything isn't useful for anyone. If Ubuntu cared about user experience, then they'd work with the gnupg group to find a better solution to this issue. Even if I got a warning that this key isn't 100% secure and then pop out an insecure key, that would be better than just freezing up waiting for input.
