23.3; EasyPG: pinentry in remote emacs session without X |
|
Date: |
Thu, 02 Jun 2011 19:03:47 -0500 |
I am running emacs remotely as a child of gpg-agent, but with X
forwarding disabled. If I am trying to visit a gpg-encrypted file,
I simply get the error message
File exists, but cannot be read
and I get an empty buffer.
I expect that this is related to the fact that EasyPG does not run
pinentry (or: does not run pinentry properly) if X forwarding is
disabled. If I do enable X forwarding and I try to open a
gpg-encrypted file, a pinentry window pops up, asking me for the
passphrase. Then I can visit gpg-encrypted files as expected.
I would expect that with X forwarding disabled, emacs will ask for the
passphrase in the minibuffer. (I believe I got this behavior when I had
no pinentry program installed.)

Ah, sorry, I misinterpreted your question - yes, there is:
gpg-preset-passphrase which is normally installed in /usr/libexec.
I'm not quite sure this is what you want as I seldom use that utility,
but anyway closing this bug for now.

Welcome.
