I have setup a fresh kubuntu 16.10 installation from cd. I have a seperate home volume (physically and logically) which is mounted at start.

After installing kleopatra I am not able to do anything that is related to keys. Everything results in Error: General Error. Digging into the KWatchGnuPG showed the following:

gpg-agent[1770]: DBG: chan_7 -> ERR 67109139 Unknown IPC Command <GPG Agent>

I did some research already in the internet, but nothing currently helps.

Thanks for your help, school_guy

P.S.: Here is the full action log of trying to set the trust in kleopatro to "My own certificate"

  • How and when is the separate home directory mounted? – Jens Erat Apr 17 '17 at 08:34
  • at boot, in the normal way with the fstab file – school_guy Apr 17 '17 at 08:45
  • That should work out, just wanted to be sure that you're not mounting during logon while gpg-agent might already be started (and still seing some files before the directory is mounted). But mounting during system boot should be fine. – Jens Erat Apr 17 '17 at 09:13
  • Ok, any idea where the error comes from and how it is resolved? – school_guy Apr 17 '17 at 09:14
  • No, I'm sorry. You could try running killall gpg-agent and see if that helps (it should be restarted afterwards), but I do not see any obvious issue here. – Jens Erat Apr 17 '17 at 10:39

My problem is resolved after using Kubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. I was not able to solve this issue under Kubuntu 16.10 and 17.10. But now everything works like a charm.

UPDATE: 06.12.17 Now it is working also under Kubuntu 16.10 and 17.10. Just a new fresh install worked. Upgrading the LTS failed (in relation to Kleopatra).
