pinentry"<br>
Tried: gpg --encrypt; gpg --gen-key, etc.<br>
Started gpg-agent.<br>
Still the same problem.<br>
gpg version 2.0.25<br>

<p>Can somebody explain what this error message means (could not
find it in help), and how to work around it.<br>
Thank you</p></div>davidtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/362277942015-03-14T23:41:34Z2015-03-14T23:41:34ZMacGPG2 #148: gpg:problem with the agent:no pinentry<div><p>Hey David,</p>
<p>thanks for taking the time to report this problem. It is a known
issue and I have connected this discussion with the existing
ticket. We have yet to find out, what exactly is causing this, but
assume it is related to sleep / wake behavior of the mac. Are you
using sleep mode?</p>
<p>The workaround is, to simply restart your mac and you should be
back in working state.</p>
<p>We'll update this discussion as soon as we have news about this
issue.</p>
<p>Since you are using an old version of MacGPG2, please do
download and install GPG Suite b5 from our homepage since it
includes important updates and fixes.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
steve</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/362277942015-07-05T15:58:40Z2015-07-05T15:58:40ZMacGPG2 #148: gpg:problem with the agent:no pinentry<div><p>Hi David,</p>
<p>good news. We think, this issue has been fixed. If you want to
test the fix, please download our <a href="https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/">latest nightly GPG
Suite</a>. That page also has sig and SHA1 to verify the download.
It would be very helpful, if you can provide feedback, as to
whether the fix works as expected.</p>
<p>If you have other questions you can open a new discussion any
time.</p>
<p>Best, steve</p>
<p>Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been
thoroughly tested yet, so bugs or crashes are to be expected.
Thanks for helping us test this fix.</p></div>Steve
