PGP-Signing gives 'pinentry' error.

[AxelMKlein]

Trying to sign a message with a PGP-Key gives these errors:
In German:

• gpg: Schreiben nach '-',
• gpg: Beglaubigung fehlgeschlagen: Kein Pinentry,
• gpg: signing failed: Kein Pinentry.

In English:

• gpg: Writing after '-',
• gpg: Authentication not successful: No pin-entry,
• gpg: signing failed: No pin-entry.

mcrha thinks it might be solvable by including 'pinentry' or by disabling it.

I am also experiencing this issue. I am able to use keys with no passphrase to sign and decrypt mail, but when using a key with a passphrase I get the above error.

I have the same error. On an sidenote s/mime works.

Just /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 is not loaded from the system

Is there a solution on the horizon?

Can someone pull the fix from the upstream repo?

[Sesivany]

The lastest update (3.32.4) is built with pinentry, you can give it a try: flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/5328/org.gnome.Evolution.flatpakref
Or it will be propagated to the stable repo during today.

Confirmed fixed :)

Sorry but still having this:

Detailed error: Output from gpg2:
gpg: écriture de « - »
gpg: échec de la signature : Pas de pinentry
gpg: signing failed: Pas de pinentry

@Nycticorax fwiw that's not Evolution from Flathub, but Evolution from Fedora. It also doesn't work with Fedora's Evolution, but does with flathub's version. Try the following:

flatpak uninstall org.gnome.Evolution
flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Evolution

I see, thanks I switched to the flathub version and it works OK!

It should be fixed in Fedora's version soon too, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1900395 for the Fedora bug report. Glad it works for you now :)
