[Solved]mga7: gpg --output $output $input.asc stopped workin

Postby mvjap3 » Jun 21st, '20, 07:36

Well that is it stopped working on my laptop after successfully completing a network upgrade from mga6 to mga7 as per the wiki instructions.

But on my desktop on which I did the same upgrade pgp still works. But not the same as before. With mga6 there was a little pop-up gui input box for my passphrase.
Now the desktop does this:
Code: Select all
  Please enter the passphrase to unlock the OpenPGP secret key:
  "Joe Philbrook <X current email omited X>"           
  3072-bit RSA key, ID ED355E3B113C4D71,           
  created 2014-05-09 (main key ID 619B4410F8549389).           
             
             
  Passphrase: __________________________________________________
             
          <OK>                                    <Cancel>   


Which is cool as long as it works. But on my laptop after the update NOTHING asks for my passphrase instead since it didn't let me provide the necessary passphrase it goes directly to this:
Code: Select all
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG key, ID 662DACFD225FDC6D, created 2004-05-17
      "Joe(theWordy)Philbrook (JtWdyP) <jtwdyp@ttlc.net>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID ED355E3B113C4D71, created 2014-05-09
      "Joe Philbrook <X current email omited X>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: Operation cancelled
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key


Which is NOT cool. If I can't open my encrypted password clues file on the laptop and my desktop has a meltdown, I won't be able to do my online banking or even login to this forum to ask for help. Without requesting a password reset that is...

Anybody know how to get gpg on mageia 7 to use a pop-up gui input box???

Could the problem be that gpg looks for a particular secure input box that didn't get automatically reinstalled after I used the mirrorlist method to rebuild my media sources?
In which case maybe all I need is to know the package name of the pop-up gpg likes
so I can urpmi it?

What desktop environment do you use? Is gpg-agent running ? And please show the output of
Code: Select all
rpm -qa | grep -i pinentry

I think your on to something.
In reverse order:
First the pinenty:
my laptop which isn't working says:
pinentry_2020-06-21_laptop.png
pinentry_2020-06-21_laptop.png (14.45 KiB) Viewed 4170 times

And the desktop which works differently now says:
pinentry_2020-06-21_desktop.png
pinentry_2020-06-21_desktop.png (20.85 KiB) Viewed 4170 times

Next about gpg-agent
I've been using the same shell script to use "vim -n -i NONE filename" to access my decrypted secure file. And then to optionally update the encrypted file before deleting the decrypted file for years, in multiple distributions. And I never wanted to fuss with a user agent So I'm certain "I" never turned it on. What's the simpleist way to find out if it's running anyway?
As to what desktop... Not exactly:
I boot to that multiuser target sometimes called runlevel 3:
Since I figured out how to get the openbox window manager to work like I want I've always found a way to disable even using a displahy manager in favor of:
Code: Select all
> cat .xinitrc
# note this file is an inactive ~/.xinitrc file that is activated when
# the ~/bin2nd/xdo script temporarily copies it to ~/.xinitrc prior
# to calling startx...
###################################
# yakuake &                       #
# use yakuake OR qterminal --drop #
# same purpose same hot key...    #
qterminal --drop &                #
###################################
lxpanel &
xrdb -load .Xdefaults
/usr/bin/openbox-session

ever since I gave up on enlightenment the only other .xinitrc my xdo script can output is:
Code: Select all
# note this file is an inactive ~/.xinitrc file that is activated when
# the ~/bin2nd/xdo script temporarily copies it to ~/.xinitrc prior
# to calling startx...
###################################
# yakuake &                       #
# use yakuake OR qterminal --drop #
# same purpose same hot key...    #
qterminal --drop &                #
###################################
xrdb -load .Xdefaults
exec /usr/bin/startlxqt


This is the same on both the desktop and the laptop and on every Linux distribution I've had on either one. Though currently the only other distro I multiboot with is opensuse. And lately that's mostly because it's easier to fsck my linux file systems
(using a /root/bin script of course) from a fully installed Linux than from a rescue cd. Because my CRS keeps me from remembering all the pathnames involved. But if the power didn't go out, I just boot mageia...
And usually it just works.

Well, if you don't want to run gpg-agent, then you will need to take care to start pinentry yourself in your session.

On how to check if it's running, simply
Code: Select all
ps -ef|grep gpg-agent

By default it's started as a systemd user service - see /usr/lib/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service

For more information, check the man page of gpg-agent

man gpg-agent wrote:[...]
Please make sure that a proper pinentry program has been installed under the default filename (which is system de‐
pendent) or use the option pinentry-program to specify the full name of that program. It is often useful to in‐
stall a symbolic link from the actual used pinentry (e.g. ‘/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk’) to the expected one (e.g.
‘/usr/bin/pinentry’).

I notice that if I just call pinentry in a konsole it won't let go of the konsole session even if:
Code: Select all
pinentry &

So I was thinking of putting the same line in my .xinitrc until I let it keep a konsole session
long enough for:
Code: Select all
 ~
UnderTree=-> ps -A|grep pinentry
16982 pts/9    00:00:00 pinentry-qt5

to confirm it started but I'm still getting:
Code: Select all
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

pinentry is not supposed to be running as a service. It's the program that takes e.g. your key password and passes it to whatever it's configured to pass it to (usually gpg-agent).

Apart from the vim command you mentioned, how are the files you encrypted are supposed to be decrypted?

So then is gpg supposed to, when called as "gpg --output outfile infile", call pinentry itself or does it ask gpg-agent to?

I don't really remember why being expected to let gpg-agent do it's thing bugged me so much any more. If you actually think setting that up to run could solve this issue, I'm willing to try it. If you think so, please decribe how to *enable it.

* That is without having to run an actual desktop environment instead of just openbox as a window manager.)

Sorry to be such a nuisance. And it would be unfair for me to just blame my CRS, because I always had trouble when I'd try to grok man or info documentation, usually by the time I finaly found the detail I needed, I couldn't remember why I needed it. Hmmnn maybe I can blame CRS after all...I've just had it longer than I thought... ;-7

Well I don't use gpg that often, only with the default setup which just works. That is, gpg-agent is started by the systemd user service (as previously mentioned, see /usr/lib/systemd/user/gpg-agent.service for that) which then asks pinentry if required.
You should probably read up on that yourself, see e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#gpg-agent

Regarding your first question, going by the man page it first asks the agent:
man gnupg wrote: --pinentry-mode mode
Set the pinentry mode to mode. Allowed values for mode are:

default
Use the default of the agent, which is ask.


ask Force the use of the Pinentry.

cancel Emulate use of Pinentry's cancel button.

error Return a Pinentry error (``No Pinentry'').

loopback
Redirect Pinentry queries to the caller. Note that in contrast to Pinentry the user is not prompted
again if he enters a bad password.

Maybe the password store is better. But it's not good for the way I allegedly think.
I'm feeling a bit frustrated because:
1) my set-up was working in mageia 6
2) I looked at that wiki but it mostly just confused me. Because just like most man or info documents, it's so full of info I'm not looking for, that by the time I see something I could have used I've lost focus and either miss it or can't remember what I wanted to do with it.
{sigh} I did mention my CRS, I wasn't joking: in my case that has to do with most anything I don't do the same way every day for a long time. And it's been a very long time since I had to do anything to fix this.
3)while I was trying to figure it out I found this in the gpg-agent man page:
Code: Select all
 As an alternative you may create a new process as a child of gpg-agent:  gpg-agent
 --daemon  /bin/sh.   This way you get a new shell with the environment setup prop‐
 erly; after you exit from this shell, gpg-agent terminates within a few seconds.

So I decided to see if making sure gpg-agent had the right environment when it calls pinentry would make any difference. But just to be really sure I started by rebooting... then I didn't open anything I didn't need for this. The following sequence is the result.
Code: Select all
JtWdyP -> ~
> gpg --output ~/tmp/j-words.out ~/com/.crossfile/.j-words.asc
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG key, ID 662DACFD225FDC6D, created 2004-05-17
      "Joe(theWordy)Philbrook (JtWdyP) <jtwdyp@ttlc.net>"
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID ED355E3B113C4D71, created 2014-05-09
      "Joe Philbrook <currently-valid@email-ommited>"
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
JtWdyP -> ~

gpg-agent: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one
JtWdyP -> ~
> killall gpg-agent
JtWdyP -> ~
> /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon /bin/sh
JtWdyP -> ~
> gpg --output ~/tmp/j-words.out ~/com/.crossfile/.j-words.asc
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG key, ID 662DACFD225FDC6D, created 2004-05-17
      "Joe(theWordy)Philbrook (JtWdyP) <jtwdyp@ttlc.net>"

      "Joe Philbrook <#####@#######>"
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
JtWdyP -> ~
> exit
JtWdyP -> ~
>


So What I get out of that is:
A) That gpg-agent was already running after a reboot and so is being started by the systemd user service.

B) That even when "gpg --output $outfile $infile,asc" is run inside a shell that gpg-agent called so that it would have the right environment setup, it's still failing.

If I'm wrong about that, please tell me.

Otherwise would you have any other suggestions for me?

Can you post the output of
Code: Select all
gpg --version
gpg --list-keys
gpg --list-secret-keys

Please omit privacy-related stuff, as you did already. And it might be helpful if you could run your decrypt command with -vv added on top.

OK I can do most of that.
But I'm not sure about the:
And it might be helpful if you could run your decrypt command with -vv added on top.

part... Oh is that what you meant?
Since I already did the part I understood and wiped a lot of privacy stuff (mostly other peoples).
And I don't know if you might still want some of it, I'll leave it in (below) But:
Code: Select all
gpg -vv --output ~/tmp/j-words.out ~/com/.crossfile/.j-words.asc

decrypted .j-words.asc to ~/tmp/j-words.out

I also note that it used a gui pop-up to take the pass phrase.

At this point I'm thinking you know exactly what my problem was...
If you wouldn't mind explaining it in the simplistic kind of terms I seem to understand, I'd be ever so grateful.

It might also prove useful. Especially if this doesn't mean I should just insert the "-vv" into the decription command in my shell script....

If you wouldn't mind explaining it in the simplistic kind of terms I seem to understand, I'd be ever so grateful.

I don't know what the problem is or was, at all. -vv only enables very verbose mode, which should have provided some hints what goes wrong.
My guess is that you were using gpg v1 the whole time, and as gpg2 is now the default, your keys were never properly migrated / imported to gpg2.
FWIW, gpg v1 has been removed with Mageia 7.

Something like this is what should have happened earlier:

Something weird just happebed I was editing a reply to another topic and I think I brushed against the durned dell touchpad that doesn't let me disable tapping or scrolling options and poof, my other reply editor session is gone and I find myself inside the edit box of your latest reply on this topic before I even knew you replied. I may have something coherent to add to this later, but just now I'm switching to my desktop. Where there is no dagnabbed touchpad to mess up my input.

OK I'm back. Only this time I'm using the desktop... If I understand you then since that seems to have fixed my gpg access to my password clues file. do you think I might be getting the text type pass phrase prompt on the desktop instead of the pop-up input box I used to get could be related. And maybe I should do a:
Code: Select all
gpg --list-secret-keys
on the desktop as well???

I don't know, you have to try that out yourself on your setup.

Alright I will. Then I'll report the results and hopefully be able to mark this topic as solved, which if I remember correctly the prefered form is to put
Code: Select all
 [Solved]
in front of the topic line...

OK I'm back... No listing the secret keys made no diff to the desktop, but while I may be used to getting a wee pop-up pinentry box for my pass phrase, as long as the curses pinentry box works it's cool. And my laptop now gets a working pop-up pinentry box and can therefore drcrypt my $input.asc file. Which makes it cool to... So I'm calling this solved.

Thank you for all the kind hearted help Doctor5000.
