gpg2 & pinentry not working

[Rodney D. Myers]

I’m using the latest Thunderbird & gpg2.

Thunderbird thunderbird-68.5.0
gnupg2 gnupg2-2.2.19

I have pinentry

xbps-query -l | grep pinentry
ii pinentry-1.1.0_5
ii pinentry-gtk-1.1.0_5
ii pinentry-qt-1.1.0_5

Now, when I try to sign an email, I get a pop requester stating;
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Your GnuPG installation is configured to use the console for pinentry. However, when using Enigmail you need a graphical revision of pinentry.

This is a system setup or configuration error that prevents Enigmail from working properly and cannot be fixed automatically

We strongly recommend that you consult our web site.

Any ideas as to what config is missing?

gpg-agent is configured to use pinentry-curses (which is probably "pinentry" in your case).

Edit ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and add the following line. If there is already a line starting with pinentry-program, delete it.

pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-gtk

Then execute gpgconf --kill gpg-agent

Had a proper entry.

For some reason, reboots did nothing. Turned computer off for a few hours, and when I restarted it, it started working properly.

Thank you
