Cannot send GPG signed mails after upgrade
Which of our tools is giving you problems?
GPGMail
What’s the version of that tool?
2.0.1
What version of OS X are you using?
10.7.5
Please describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible.
When I hit the send button of a message signed with my PGP key, the message window disappears and immediately re-appears; the message is not sent.
Please describe what you did expect instead
The message should be sent.
If you remember, please describe the steps leading up to the problem
Worked flawlessly before upgrade to 2.0.1.

Hi,
very sorry to hear that.
Could you please open Console.app and check if you see any error messages in regards to the following search terms:
- gpg
- gpgmail
- pinentry
Thanks!

hi luke
thanks for the quick reply.
i get the following in console.app:
* hundreds of lines stating
org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent: gpg-agent[4188]: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one
com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: (org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent[4188]) Exited with code: 2
com.apple.launchd.peruser.501: (org.gpgtools.macgpg2.gpg-agent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
* three lines stating
[0x0-0x1a05a04].org.gpgtools.gpgkeychainaccess: objc[6111]: Object 0x100225100 of class NSPathStore2 autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking - break on objc_autoreleaseNoPool() to debug
(i guess that was when i started gpgkeychainaccess.app)
* one line stating
Mail: Loaded GPGMail 2.0.1
* nothing for pinentry.
please let me know what else you could need for debugging this issue.
cheers,
tobi

Not the most comfortable way to solve issues, but could you try restarting
your Mac unless you've already done that?

unfortunately, the issue remains after restart.
any more ideas?
cheers,

Hi,
i've just found out that in the case you can't be asked for your passphrase, because the program responsible for that, doesn't work as it should, you're not seeing any error.
Already fixed this bug and in the next version, you'll at least see an appropriate error message, which will also help us debug these problems.
Now let's fix this problem.
Could you please post the contents of your gpg-agent.conf file.
It's located in the .gnupg folder in your users folder.

I'm seeing the same problem. The "pinentry-program" indeed references a file which does not exist.
File attached.
Support Staff 7 Posted by Luke Le on 04 Aug, 2013 02:38 AM
Yes, exactly.
Our installer should fix that, but as it seems, fails to do so at the moment.
Please change the line to /usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac
After that everything should work as expected.

After a "killall -1 gpg-agent", that indeed fixed the problem.

Since you are being so helpful...
Is there also supposed to be a new 64-bit "GnuPG" preferences pane? Or is that something to be removed? The one I have is version 1.2.2 from 2006, and I suspect it was supposed to be replaced by the new installer.

Yes there is, and it should have been installed and is called GPGPreferences.
Should look like in the attached picture

There is, but the earlier pane has not been removed. I'll take it out.
The new prefs pane seems to have many fewer options. Is there an advanced mode? Or are all those options now buried in text files?

thanks luke for your help.
i now followed the advice meanwhile given in this thread and changed the setting in gpg-agent.conf – which made sending pgp signed messages working again!
:)
cheers,

Hi Tobi,
we have a new GPG Suite ready that should fix this problem.
Please download https://s3.amazonaws.com/gpgtools/GPG%20Suite%20-%202013.08.06.dmg then mount the .dmg file and run the Install.
Let us know if things run smoothly with that version. Looking forward to your feedback.
Best :)
