It is important to set the GPG_TTY environment variable in your login shell, for example in the ~/.bashrc init script:
export GPG_TTY=$(tty) |
If you enabled the Ssh Agent Support, you also need to tell ssh about it by adding this to your init script:
unset SSH_AGENT_PID if [ "${gnupg_SSH_AUTH_SOCK_by:-0}" -ne $$ ]; then export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh" fi |
