No password prompt for key

[dpogue]

I've compiled the plugin (as of 0.8.1), and installed it. I see it in the plugins list and I can select my key.
However, I don't get a password prompt when connecting the account, and the debug window has some error messages about no password.

I'll get debug logs and attach them.

it should ask for password automatically. hmmm.
logs would be nice.
it should ask for password pidgin restart or if you disconnect and reconnect to your xmpp servers

The logs show these errors, and I never see a password prompt.

i think i found a possible cause for your problem:
you have to enable gpg-agent

just add "use-agent" to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
and it should work

[dpogue]

I have use-agent in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and I've installed gnupg-agent. I'm still not seeing any prompt for a password.

[segler-alex]

gpg-agent has to be running as daemon. it sets some environment variables, pidgin has to know about. if you type on console:
set | grep GPG
you should see something like:
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-O7vxf9/S.gpg-agent:3792:1

help on invoking gpg-agent:

ubuntu does this automatically

[dpogue]

With gpg-agent running, I get the password prompt. It doesn't seem to find anyone's public keys though. Should it try to be reading those from the keychain?

[segler-alex]

you have to have the key of the other persons you want to chat with.
there is a feature i implemented to send the public key from within conversation dialog "options->send key" but i haven't tested it too much :)
