I am doing this on a GNOME terminal within an X11 session (running GNOME3), but my gpg credentials are in another account on this machine. I type 'su - <account>' and am doing it inside that account. I have also set the following in the .profile: GPG_TTY=$(tty) export GPG_TTY Please let me know if I missed out anything. Glad to provide more info or help with any debugging. -- Ramakrishnan
