Install GnuPG 2.x, don't run gpg-agent 2. Open file.gpg, X or curses pinentry dialog pops up The suggested workaround is to run gpg-agent. Problems: - on a headless server this can lock up Emacs - if the GPG agent is dead, locked up, or not running, there's no remedy - the X pinentry dialog is very non-specific ("Enter passphrase") so there's no way to know what passphrase is being requested and why if you don't have the specific instance in focus. - there's no way to avoid the prompt in favor of an Emacs minibuffer query In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.4) of 2013-09-20 on flea.lifelogs.com Bzr revision: 114415 rgm@gnu.org-20130921005207-1eq49miu7feptu8i Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11304000 System Description: Gentoo Base System release 2.2
