Re: can't generate key pair

It takes some time to time out. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." Ed Howdershelt 1940. On Tue, 18 Jun 2024, tippfehlr wrote:

Did you already try to create a key with a fresh ~/.gnupg, eg. move ~/.gnupg to ~/.gnupg.bak and try again? If that works, you can narrow it down to the config.

After entering the password, gpg generates the random bytes and prints to use the system to gain entropy, so it’s likely that part that is failing.

Does it immidiately fail with a timeout or does it take some time to _actually_ time out?
