gpg-agent startup script
Added check for existing $HOME/.gnupg directory.
*** Bug 279545 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi, i've experienced the same troubles with non-starting gpg-agent. But I see the .gpg-agent-info as $HOME/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info (app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.11). I'll commit an suggestion, referring to http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=199613 .

works with gnome on amd64, can somebody test this, please?

Works here on stable x86 with (unstable) gnome-light-2.26.3. Thanks.
Created attachment 205831 [details] Updated script to work with gdm Finally I found two problems with the script from comment #5. I'm using gdm. Since the gpg-agent is launched with the eval command, it is not linked to gnome-session, and is not killed when logout. The process is still running alone, which bring us to the second problem : when I re-login, the old gpg-agent is still running, but the eval command was not executed, so the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable was not exported to the environment, resulting in the current gpg-agent process unusable. The attached script fix these two issues. In my case (gnome-light, gdm), since gdm provide a script to launch the ssh-agent, I think that this one should also be provided by gdm. GDM shouldn't provide ssh-agent script IMO so this script should belong to gnupg package. Those scripts are full usable outside of GDM without it even installed. kde-base/kdebase-startkde provides /etc/kde/startup/agent-startup.sh :) . 1. please do NOT pass extra options like "--default-cache-ttl 300 --max-cache-ttl 999999". If we install them in the core system, they override the options in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf 2. The latest attachment doesn't seem to actually execute the agent here. Please test more on awesomeWM and fluxbox. (In reply to comment #10) > 2. The latest attachment doesn't seem to actually execute the agent here. > Please test more on awesomeWM and fluxbox. I noticed that fluxbox will only execute gpg-agent with this script if the Xsession is launched with startx from a console: =================================================== 7201 tty2 Ss 0:00 /bin/login -- 9140 tty2 S 0:00 \_ -bash 9322 tty2 S+ 0:00 \_ /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx 9338 tty2 S+ 0:00 \_ xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc :0 -auth /home/michael/.serverauth.9322 9339 tty7 Ss+ 0:04 \_ /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp 9345 tty2 S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --write-env-file /home/michael/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info --daemon -- /etc/X11/Sessions/fluxbox 9423 tty2 S 0:00 \_ /usr/bin/fluxbox 9424 ?

When I launch fluxbox from a login manager (xdm) then it seems that xinit is not used and therefore the gpg-agent is not executed. I'll check on a second machine tonight to see what that gives. -- Regards, Mick > When I launch fluxbox from a login manager (xdm) then it seems that xinit is

I would consider that in particular to be a fluxbox bug. Its Xsession script needs to be updated to jive more cleanly with the new xinit.d scripts.
As a workaround, just set your XSESSION environment to be '/usr/src/startfluxbox' and all the xinit.d scripts should fire as expected.
I haven't seen any posts from the OP in more than a year. It's still broken on AwesomeWM (w/ xdm). Please reopen w/ a fixed script. Also anybody that uses an alternative agent will want to NOT use this. |
