Happens when using "Clipboard History" chrome extension (was: Nothing happens after choosing Service OpenPGP: Encrypt)<div><p>Are you encrypting to yourself or another recipient? GPG Suite
in Apple Mail will encrypt automatically if the person to whom you
are sending the e-mail has a key pair and the public key is in your
GPG Keychain. The encryption will be indicated by the "lock" in the
upper right-hand corner of your Apple Mail screen appearing closed
(rather than open). If the lock remains "open", the message did not
encrypt. Note that the encrypted text appears on your own Mail
software as plain text.</p></div>kacomesstag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/363533772015-03-24T03:11:28Z2015-03-24T03:11:29ZGPGServices #218: Can't allocate a new block for a pasteboard.

Creation of a new Pasteboard will fail. Happens when using "Clipboard History" chrome extension (was: Nothing happens after choosing Service OpenPGP: Encrypt)<div><p>I’m confused: you pasted text into some application other
than Apple Mail and it failed to encrypt? I think GPG is integrated
with Apple Mail at this point. Old versions of it (Phil
Zimmerman’s original PGP before he sold it) was “free
standing”. In any event, it seems as if your problem has been
resolved successfully.</p>

right click, choose "services" then "openPGP encrypt" at which
point a dialog opens asking you which key in your keychain to use.
The GPGTools website says "GPG Services is a plugin that brings GPG
power to almost any application. It allows you to encrypt/decrypt,
sign/verify and import keys from text selections, files, folders
and much more."</p></div>Ahtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/363533772015-03-24T07:02:02Z2015-03-24T07:02:02ZGPGServices #218: Can't allocate a new block for a pasteboard.

<p>headShrinker, thanks for the update. Glad you were able to find
out what went wrong in your case.</p>
<p>@Andrew: How did you update the tools? Did you use automatic
upates or did you install GPG Suite beta 6 from our homepage? When
you select GPGServices > OpenPGP: Encrypt file can you please
open Console.app and see if it spits out any related errors when
you are attempting to launch GPGServices.</p>
<p>@Keith: If you are still having issues with GPGServices, could
you please open a separate discussion and we'll go from there.</p>

<p>Both actually. First I updated and when I couldn't get the

<p>Frank, hm this sounds very odd. Would you be willing to give the
beta 6 another go? If the problem persists, this is definitely
something we would want to investigate. As Luke pointed out, if
issues with b6 persist, please have a peek at console.app while
trying to do the encryption and post any related errors here. If it
is a lot of text, please post a txt file attached to your
reply.</p>

Creation of a new Pasteboard will fail. Happens when using "Clipboard History" chrome extension (was: Nothing happens after choosing Service OpenPGP: Encrypt)<div><p>I was just getting the error message twice a second without
actively using Clipboard History or taking any action at all. it's
possible that simply copying anything while the Clipboard History
extension is enabled triggers some kind of repeated automatic
action. At least under some circumstances.</p>
<p>I then disabled Clipboard History and restarted Chrome and the
string of "can't allocate a new block" error messages stopped.
However, as soon as I copied some text, (with Clipboard History
disabled) the message returned, but only for a few seconds.</p>
<p>Next, I attempted to use GPG Services and got no response, and
the "can't allocate" error message appeared one time.</p>
<p>I copied some more text and the error message did NOT appear.
However, GPG Services still did not respond, and attempting to use
it generated three iterations of the error message</p>
<p>It appears that once the problem has been triggered it is
necessary to restart the computer. After restarting (with Clipboard
History disabled), I am able to use GPG Services and copy and paste
text with no error message.</p></div>Andrew Herrmann
