Pass problem in Manjaro

Support Software & Applications
,
1

I was using Ubuntu and I decided to use Manjaro.
I was using pass as my main password manager, so I copied .password-store and .gnupg to Manjaro.
pass works fine, but If I try to show a password an error happens gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
I tried to export ubuntu gpg keys and import them in manjaro, but it’s not working.
I migrated many times from different distros but this problem did not happen in any distro but in Manjaro

How? And what was the error message?

Exporting is done with: gpg --export-secret-key -a KEYID > private.key
and imported with:
gpg --import private.key

The first one.

I have exported both keys and imported it in manjaro

ubuntu: 
    gpg --export-secret-key -a first_ID > private.key
    gpg --export-secret-key -a second_ID > main.key
manjaro: 
    gpg --import private.key
    gpg --import main.key
pass show google.com/myemail@gmail.com
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

The version of gnupg that you are coming from is missing, which makes it difficult to help.

Software changes sometimes happen that require a migration so a conversion can happen.

Perhaps the below will help.

Also check:

systemctl --user status gpg-agent
journalctl -b0

[Manjaro juba]# systemctl --user status gpg-agent
Failed to connect to bus: No medium found

journalctl -b0 output is 9644 lines, Should I grep a specific pattern to make it clear ?
