[Pkg-geany-team] Bug#672286: geany-plugin-pg: GeanyPG Encrypt menu option silently fails

[Alain Kelder]

Frank,

Thank you for helping me with this.

> Is your gpg-agent set up to be running

According to ps, gpg-agent wasn't running, however, just running 
"gpg-agent" returned:

$ gpg-agent
gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available

According to gpg-agent manual:

"The  agent  is  usualy started on demand by gpg, gpgsm, gpgconf or 
gpg-connect-agent.  Thus there is no reason to start it manually."

To give it a shot anyway, I then uncommented "use-agent" from 
"~/.gnupg/gpg.conf" and ran

$ eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

It's now running:

$ ps ax | grep gpg-agent
25415 ?        Ss     0:00 gpg-agent --daemon
25438 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto gpg-agent

Added this:

$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2

However, Tools > GeanyPG > Encrypt still silently fails.. :-(
