Hi, I’m having various issues that I believe are related to kleopatra or the gpg-agent or some sort of gnugp configuration problem.
Kleopatra - I can use the kleopatra gui to sign and encrypt a file using one of my keys. I can then unencrypt it during that same session, but not after logging out or rebooting. If I attempt to do so in a new session I get the following message
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID mykeyid, created 2021-04-02
"me <email@email.com>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
I can decrypt the file in the terminal with gpg -d filename.gpg just fine across sessions, just not from the kleopatra gui.
Kwallet - if I create a new key in kwallet and choose the gpg encryption option instead of the blowfish option, I get a similar message.
Error when attempting to decrypt the wallet kdewallet1 using GPG. If you're using a SmartCard, please ensure it's inserted then try again.
GPG error was Inappropriate ioctl for device
I also have an issue with Proton-bridge for Protonmail which relies on gpg encryption, where it won’t save login credentials properly with the following error
Failure: failed to create user: failed to load user credentials: exit status 2: gpg: decryption key failed: No secret key
I have another computer running Manjaro Gnome and I am not having issues there, which makes me think it could be kde related.
I have seen similar “ioctl” issues mentioned after searching online but didn’t find a solution there, specifically https://d.sb/2016/11/gpg-inappropriate-ioctl-for-device-errors actually those loopback commands made it so I couldn’t unencrypt from the cli either saying something about “batch mode”.
Any assistance, including if I should be asking this elsewhere is appreciated, thanks!
