Title: Kleopatra will not decrypt!
Post by: Innocuous on June 20, 2011, 01:13 pm
Got a message from a seller I have been dying to get in contact with!
Small hitch, I cant decrypt his message. ;D

I can see that kleopatra is not giving any error, its simply saying no signatures found, and doesn't ask me for my pass-phrase. This message simply will not decyrpt. Anyone have any tips? unless I am copying it wrong, I don't see where the problem could be.

Are there any problems with win64 and gpg? should i be using a different program other than kleopatra?

Thanks in advanced.

Glad its not just me that thinks this software is an unstable peice of crap :)
Thanks for the tip, I see v9.90 but not 10 and to be honest I'm too paranoid to use a cracked/patched program that's for security in the first place lol. Call me crazy but something about it just does not sit well.

Just received a message from another user, and this decrypts fine so im guessing this one seller in particular has signed his message with the wrong recipient in mind.

When installing gpg4win you need to uncheck Kleopatra and check GPA. GPA is the good stuff.

Ah Cheers KE33Nc, I was assuming the search ignores 3chars or less.
Also thanks for the info guys, I remember having to tick GPA but must have glossed over un-ticking kleopatra. That's what is making GPA bail.

I'm good to go! and on another note something has just been shipped apparantly :o hot diggity!

Also, seems stupid, but it happened to me a couple times, spent hours, and what it was: I'd copied encrypted msg to a file on my Desktop, and somehow had the notepad format set to 'wordwrap' and that screws Kleopatra up.  Win7, 64 bit.  Like so many other areas, linux is better.  But anyway, as soon as I turned wordrap off, no more problems.
