Emacs Gnus can´t find my gpg data

Emacs Gnus can´t find my gpg data

[gfp]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 809 bytes --]


Hi Guix,

Through the help of Emacsers
I was able to set up Gnus
(Read net news/news reader with Email support) in Emacs.

My password for getting emails
is in my /.authinfo.gpg file in the /home folder located

When I open gnus

it came up the error message in the mini-buffer:

Error while decrypting with "/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/gpg":
gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden./didn´t find openPGP files/data
gpg: decrypt_message failed: Unbekannter Systemfehler/unknown system failure

So what can I do?

I set up pgp and can use it for my Email Provider Thunderbird.
But I don´t know what to do now,
so that Gnus can find my pgp password?

I don´t have any password manager installed
because I don´t know how to use it at the moment.

thanks for help

Gottfried

From the Wiki, it looks like Gnus supports Authinfo. [1] (For non-NNTP
tasks, I personally use Mu4e and Circe, which definitely do.)  Did you
put .authinfo.gpg into /home or into $HOME?

The latter would result in a location like /home/gfp/.authinfo.gpg.

Kind regards
Felix
