#1 No pinentry error

I get an error when I try to make a new key using "gpg2 --expert --full-gen-key"
The error is below:
"We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
gpg: agent_genkey failed: No pinentry
Key generation failed: No pin entry"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

    This works for me. What is the contents of your ~/.gpg-agent.conf file?

      Hmm, I deleted it and re-installed.
      Still no MacGPG2 folder in /usr/local
      Strange.

      pinentry-program /usr/local/MacGPG2/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac
      default-cache-ttl 600
      max-cache-ttl 7200

      I checked and I don’t even have a MacGPG2 folder, so I’m seeing my problem :)
      Let me delete the gnupg-2.1 folder I see and re-install your program.

        That won't help. You'll have to delete the "pinentry-program" line in your gpg-agent.conf file. gpg-agent will find pinentry automatically.

          Unfortunately that did not work. I removed the line got the same error. I even rebooted my computer and tried again. Same error.

    That's no surprise. You're no installing MacGPG2.

    GPGOSX is installed in /usr/local/gnupg-2.1

    Can you try this command and send me the output:

        That's really strange. I wonder if the correct gpg-agent is started. I
        get the impression that the started gpg-agent is not the one that comes
        with GnuPG 2.1.

        Can you send me the output of:

        lsof | grep gpg-agent

                Finally! It's what I suspected -- that's the wrong gpg-agent.

                GnuPG 2.1 requires its own gpg-agent, the one in /usr/local/bin must
                be from some old installation. Do you remember which version of
                MacGPG2 you had installed before?

                I'd suggest you
                1. killall gpg-agent
                2. delete all gpg* files in /usr/local/bin except for gpg2 and gpgsm

                Then retry.

                  be from some old installation. Do you remember which version of
                  MacGPG2 you had installed before?

                  I'd suggest you
                  1. killall gpg-agent
                  2. delete all gpg* files in /usr/local/bin except for gpg2 and gpgsm

                  Then retry.

                  I get an error when I try to make a new key using "gpg2 --expert
                  --full-gen-key"
                  The error is below:
                  "We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
                  some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
                  disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
                  generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
                  gpg: agent_genkey failed: No pinentry

                  Any ideas?

    I wonder what you did before or after installing gpgosx ...

    Please send me the output of the following 4 commands:

    type -p gpg2
    ls -l /usr/local/bin/gpg*
    env | grep GPG
    echo $PATH

      Prior to installing gpgosx I tried to compile it from the source.
      I’m not sure what I messed up. Try not to waste too much time on it. I appreciate the help.
      I followed the README and downloaded the following and installed them, so tried to.
      "GnuPG 2.1 depends on the following GnuPG related packages:

    I deleted gpg2 and gpgsm in usr/local/bin and re-installed. It now works fine. Please close this ticket. Thanks for all your help.
