That sounds as if you set environment variables in your .bashrc, but not for the xsession itself. Candidates are GNUPGHOME or GPG_AGENT_INFO (if you use gpg-agent).

Maybe this link is helpful:

Looking into the file ~/.xsession-errors might also give some hints about the reason.

Hi,

well, the bash has set only HOME, COLUMNS and LINES of the environmental variables
mentioned in the gpg man page.

Looking at /proc/<pid of gpa>/environ shows some differences, between the
bash started version and the menu started one, but not related to gpg variables.
Mainly the bash version defines:

TERM=xterm (I dunno why, since gnome-terminal is used)
LS_COLORS=<something> while in the "menu" version is defined, but empty
DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID= (empty)
WINDOWID=16889068
COLORTERM=gnome-terminal

SHLVL is also different

Rest of the environment is the same (I diffed the two cases).

.xsession-errors does not show anything useful, only some complain about network
and the SESSION_MANAGER=local/<pcname>:/tmp/<something>

Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

I'm not sure if gpa uses gpgme, but for seahorse, you could try to set the
environment variable

GPGME_DEBUG=5:/tmp/seahorse-gpgme.out

Then look into the log file - maybe it gives you more hints!

Cheers, Albrecht.

Hi,

good hint.
I tried seahorse and gpa, both use gpgme.
I started the software and tried to change the owner trust, then I
closed it.

I found the following, with gpa (first checked, seahorse to come).
The first 177 lines of the log file are just generated at startup,
and are, so far can I see, the same in both cases (bash or menu).
After that something else come and, for the bash version, I see:

229 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r4 ]
230 posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r4 ]
231 posix-io.c:82: fd 4: about to read 1024 bytes
232 posix-io.c:89: fd 4: got 33 bytes
233 fd 4: got `[GNUPG:] GET_LINE keyedit.prompt
234 '
235 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]

while for the menu version:

229 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r4 ]
230 posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r4 ]
231 posix-io.c:82: fd 4: about to read 1024 bytes
232 posix-io.c:89: fd 4: got 0 bytes
233 posix-io.c:145: closing fd 4
234 wait.c:160: setting fd 4 (item=0x82ae2a0) done
235 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]

Later, bash:

245 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ w8 ]
246 posix-io.c:378: select OK [ w8 ]
247 wait.c:160: setting fd 8 (item=0x823b128) done
248 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r4 ]
249 posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r4 ]
250 posix-io.c:82: fd 4: about to read 1024 bytes
251 posix-io.c:89: fd 4: got 56 bytes
252 fd 4: got `[GNUPG:] GOT_IT
253 [GNUPG:] GET_LINE edit_ownertrust.value
254 '
255 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]
256 posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r9 ]

and menu:

245 posix-io.c:332: gpgme:select on [ r9 ]
246 posix-io.c:378: select OK [ r9 ]
247 posix-io.c:82: fd 9: about to read 4096 bytes
248 posix-io.c:89: fd 9: got 0 bytes
249 posix-io.c:145: closing fd 9
250 wait.c:160: setting fd 9 (item=0x82aec08) done
251 posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 4
252 posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 5
253 posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 7
254 posix-io.c:167: set notification for fd 9
255 posix-io.c:145: closing fd 5
256 posix-io.c:145: closing fd 9

This "about to read" goes on in the same way for an other couple of
times, basically the bash version can read, while the menu version
it seems it cannot.
Also, lines 245-246 use "[ w8 ]" on bash and "[ r9 ]" on menu, does
anybody knows what these are?

Other hints and/or suggestions?
Or some other things to look into the log files?

Thanks,

bye,
