gpg not working without X server
gpg not working without X server
If you are trying to use gpg command for encrypt or decrypt data on tty without X server (I use that in combination with yadm, you will probably get this error:
gpg: public key decryption failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
If you don’t want to switch to X every time, there is a simple solution.Put this line in your ~/.bashrc:
export GPG_TTY=$(tty)
Happy hacking…
