Unable to generate a new keypair, GPGME error
I'm a first-time user of GpgFrontend. When attempting to create a new keypair, I received an "General Error" message that referenced GPGME, which I assume is the GnuPG Made Easy library. See screenshot.
I tried adjusting a few values on the Generate Key window, but it didn't make a difference. I looked to see if this issue was reported earlier, but I couldn't find anything.
I checked one of the logs, and I do see a line that may provide a clue:
[21:39:38.593] [T:5984366] [ core ] [ error ] [GpgCoreInit.cpp:191] [InitGpgME] -> gpgme env check failed, abort (+2413us)
(For reference, see the full copy of the core.log.)
FYI, I installed the previous release of GpgFrontend (2.1.3) because the newest release isn't compatible with my macOS (11.7.10, Big Sur).
Have you installed GnuPG correctly in your computer? This is crucial for GpgFrontend.
@saturneric This Error still Occurs on Fedora, Arch and Windows. I also checked and installed GnuPG.
What is the path where "gpg" and "gpgconf" is installed? Is it in PATH? It looks like GpgME can't find it.
Ok so I checked and as described in the Arch wiki gpg frontend is installed is installed via flatpak under /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin. My Version is 2.1.4. This was tested on Arch Linux.
Ok. Emmm... Can you try the nightly build (AppImage)? It has a new option "-e". Starting with "./GpgFrontend.AppImage -e", GpgFrontend will print all the necessary Environment Information. This will help us to discover the bug before v2.1.6.
