Enabling logging for gpg-agent I see:

2019-01-20 15:44:08 gpg-agent[25582] gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.2.12 starting in supervised mode.
2019-01-20 15:44:08 gpg-agent[25582] using fd 3 for browser socket (/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.browser)
2019-01-20 15:44:08 gpg-agent[25582] using fd 4 for ssh socket (/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh)
2019-01-20 15:44:08 gpg-agent[25582] using fd 5 for extra socket (/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra)
2019-01-20 15:44:08 gpg-agent[25582] using fd 6 for std socket (/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent)
2019-01-20 15:44:08 gpg-agent[25582] listening on: std=6 extra=5 browser=3 ssh=4

	the default was pinentry-gnome3:

2019-01-20 15:44:30 gpg-agent[25582] failed to unprotect the secret key: No passphrase given
2019-01-20 15:44:30 gpg-agent[25582] failed to read the secret key
2019-01-20 15:44:30 gpg-agent[25582] ssh sign request failed: No passphrase given <GPG Agent>

	then I switched to pinentry-gtk-2, same

2019-01-20 15:47:18 gpg-agent[25582] failed to unprotect the secret key: No passphrase given
2019-01-20 15:47:18 gpg-agent[25582] failed to read the secret key
2019-01-20 15:47:18 gpg-agent[25582] ssh sign request failed: No passphrase given <GPG Agent>


After switching to pinentry-qt it started to work ...

Thanks

Norbert
