Well, the header tells it all. This is on openSUSE 13.2, system is actualized. "dmesg" and "journalctl" offer no clues, neither does a start from the command line (cursor just moves to the next line in front of the prompt).

In case it helps, I also tried it as root (but I need kgpg as normal user) and got an error about dbus being unreachable.

Any comments, hints, links etc. are highly appreciated .

P.S.: I just found this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-start-351256/ but to the best of my knowledge gpg is not running (I'll check tonight with "ps ax"). Umm, Kleopatra is running though?!?

Are you sure that kgpg is not already on your control bar. If you see a discrete upward pointing arrow (hover on the arrow icon and it says, "Show hidden icons") on the bar just click on it and up pops a menu labelled "notifications". Just below that is kgpg.

Good point. I'll check it tonight. Thanks.

Let us know how you make out. Be sure to mark the thread [SOLVED] if that solves the problem.
Cheers,

Bullseye. Kgpg resides behind this unobstrusive little arrow. Gaaah, sometimes one gets so blind on ones own desktop ... and grrr.

Thank you very much, jdkaye, I'll mark this thread now as solved.

P.S.: Sigh. Coudn't it just have produced an error message like "gpg already up and running, no two instrances allowed"?
