HI,
A passphrase comes up (textbased, not in qt), when I put the pinentry-qt in=
=20
ghe conf-file. When I put the pintentry-gtk in the conf-file, a gtk-box com=
es=20
up. This is what happens with the pinentry-qt : =20
johan@laptop:~$ echo Test | gpg --clearsign
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
