You haven't answered the question if you only want to use text-mode.
If you only use text-mode, add those lines mentioned to ~/.bashrc (or
whatever may be your shell initialization file) and properly symlink
/usr/bin/pinentry to the pinentry-curses you actually would like to use
if you are using text-mode only, I don't know why it should not work.
I refer you to the info gnupg manual and its appropriate section
10.3 Commonly Seen Problems.
 * The Curses based Pinentry does not work

Maybe it's helpful for you and for all willing to help if you properly
document the output of gen-key with the debug flag set to expert or guru
level.

gpg2 --gen-key --debug-level [expert|guru]

Just a suggestion.

Cheers,

Stephan

P.S. I now see that you have installed gtk-pinentry, so maybe I was
wrong and you don't want to use text-mode.
