<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Long story short, pinentry hung emacs badly , no way to get back it ..completeley frozen . Only way get back emacs is kill it and restart .</p> <p><strong>Longer version :</strong> </p> <p>Emacs: 27.0.2 ...( compiled from source ...accessed from common location ...lvm drive..GNU Emacs), GUI environment.</p> <p>OS : Gentoo, Slackware,Debian,Arch,Tumbleweed</p> <p>Two specific things:</p> <p>1) If I started pinentry from my .emacs/init.el file while emacs start up ,it is start up fine and after sometime it ask for passphrase and once entered , the damn thing got frozen....heck </p> <p>2) Not starting like above ,but invoke pinentry-start from the minibuffer before doing anything needs to be done with gpg. </p> <p>Okay, it stays little more longer than the 1 st one . But..but ..once the initial passphrase given everything works fine....again soon after it prompt for second time(after several mintute) and once this time entered the passphrase ...bang! It frozen to death. Only way to rescue , kill and restart ...such a annoying thing ....</p> <p><strong>What I did?</strong></p> <p>Check the system log ,when it frozen and nothing apprear related to that hung ....</p> <p>Heads up! if I do not run pinentry, no trouble ..no hang ups ..nothing ...so narrowing down to that damn package ...</p> <p>Message buffer shows no sign of hiccup (although it accessed after restart ...no point it seems ..still) ..</p> <p>​</p> <p>Before you give slitest care to look in and give me some respite ....GPG is serious kind of pain in the arse ....unfortunately , this is the best kind we have at this moment and damn workflow badly integrated with it. ( I have other horrific story about it..not related to emacs ...but some other time) .</p> <p>Last, let me know , if you need anything specific from me to pinpoint the trouble.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/unixbhaskar"> /u/unixbhaskar </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/pohfm7/well_pinentry_hung_emacs_only_way_get_it_back_by/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/pohfm7/well_pinentry_hung_emacs_only_way_get_it_back_by/">[comments]</a></span> |
