I installed the graphical version of 'gpg' program. The installation was successful.

The followin is my path.
[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]# echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

I can't start the program. I believe the problem is that it is not in the path.

The following website tells me how to add the program to the path.

http://developer.kde.org/~kgpg/install.html

I just followed their suggestion; however it is not there.

Could you please tell me how to edit the path?

I got a small problem when running ' make install ' command.

Please read the end of the following to know the flaw. I can't fathom out it.

Hi that is an error in the Code there is not much to do about that the application never gets installed. I checked the Mandriva site and the kgpg is named kdeutils-kgpg and it is on the powerpack disk do you have that with your install disks.

Thanks HappyTux for the speedy attention.

I don't have it on my CDs. I have only 3 CDs. Where can I download it?

I have Mandriva 2006 version. It is 64 bit program.


What you have mentioned is not for 64 bit. It is .i586rpm. Is .i586 compatible with 64 bit?
----------------------------------
Version: 3.2.3
Release: 28mdk
CD: CD6
Path: /media/main6/kdeutils-kgpg-3.2.3-28mdk.i586.rpm
Group: Graphical desktop/KDE
License: GPL
Size: 961 KB
Homepage: http://www.kde.org/
-------------------------------------
If possible, please tell me a place to download.

HappyTux
I found a lot on the following site.

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...=kdeutils-kgpg

Could you please tell me the appropriate program to download and install?

http://rpmseek.com/rpm-dl/kdeutils-k...:1779970:0:0:0

From the above German site, I downloaded the following:

kdeutils-kgpg-3.2.3-28mdk.i586.rpm

Is it the correct one for me?
---------------------------------------------

http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/kdeutils-k...=de&cx=629:K:0

You want the 3.4.2 For Mandriva 2006.0 x86_64 from that page, i586 is not compatible with a 64bit OS if running the 64bit Mandriva 2006 as you say.

Thanks HappyTux

I downloaded the program you suggested. I failed to install it.

-------------------------
[root@c83-250-110-112 Desktop]# rpm -i 'kdeutils-kgpg-3.4.2-5mdk.x86_64.rpm'
warning: kdeutils-kgpg-3.4.2-5mdk.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 26752624
[root@c83-250-110-112 Desktop]#
---------------------------------------------------
What is the problem?

From the looks of it you need to import the key for that package/archive it comes from although I've never seen a key that has just numbers in it they usually have both letters/numbers. Now having never used Mandriva I'm not sure where you have to import the key too whether it would be into your root keyring or something like Debian does with secure apt where the keys get imported into a keyring that only apt/aptitude use, you will probably have to search on this.

Thanks Happy Tux for the reply.

I don't know where to find so-called keys. This is a tall order for me.

I looked at the site where I download theses files.
http://rpmseek.com/
You don't find any keys to download.

However, I found a different file or rather a new version of the program.

kdeutils-kgpg-4.4.2-5mdk.x86_64.rpm
-------------------------------------------------

The previous file was --> kdeutils-kgpg-3.4.2-5mdk.x86_64.rpm

I will come back to you. Now it is past midnight here. I must sleep now.

Happy Tux

I tried to install the latest one.

I got the following message.
-------------------------------------------------------------
[root@c83-250-110-112 Desktop]# rpm -i 'kdeutils-kgpg-4.4.2-5mdk.x86_64.rpm'
warning: kdeutils-kgpg-4.4.2-5mdk.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 26752624
package kdeutils-kgpg-3.4.2-5mdk is already installed
[root@c83-250-110-112 Desktop]#

*-------------------------------------------------------------

What is the meaning of it?

That seems to say the 3.4.2-5 package installed even with the warning it gave last time. Have you checked to see if it is in the menus somewhere? Or even in Konsole try kgpg to see if it starts

Happy Tux

You are very clever. I just wrote 'kgpg' in the command line and pressed enter.

The program started.


You are very clever. I am very glad.

Please keep a good watch on this thread. I will beg your help whenever I encounter a problem.

I just came home after work. I went to the gym after work. I wish I had more time to work on this.

I rebooted the computer just to notice the following message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry
The use of GnuPG Agent is enabled in GnuPG's configuration file (/home/nissanka/.gnupg/gpg.conf).
However, the agent does not seem to be running. This could result in problems with signing/decryption.

Please disable Gnupg Agent from KGpg settings, or fix the problem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you gather from the above message? How do I fix the problem?

I just wrote 'kgpg' at the command line as a normal user as well as the superuser. It didn't start the program. So few things have gone wild.

However, list command works as usual. Please read the following:

[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]# kgpg
[root@c83-250-110-112 nissanka]# gpg --list-keys

Could you send me a file?

I will try whether it works or not.

Just send some rubbish. You don't have to write anything. Just copy something and make a file send using gpg.

I will try to open. I will let you know the outcome.
