Comment 2 for bug 293146

Hi, I'm one of the authors of the cryptography plugin.

I think I know what your problem is. I have been able to get a fresh install of Kubuntu 8.10 working with these steps:

1 - ensure that the package gnupg-agent is installed
2 - in a terminal, run the command 'gpg'. Since this is probably the first time you have run it, it will create the configuration files you need. Exit gpg with Ctrl+C.
3 - Log out of KDE and log back in again.
4 - Run Kopete and try to send a signed message (or try to recieve an encrypted message). It should prompt you for your password and then work correctly.

Please tell me if this works.
Thank you.
