Hi folks,
I wanted to import my secret key into thunderbird, but thunderbird can not read the directory.
What an I doing wrong?
I do (my thunderbird is in German, so my English translation might not be quite accurate):
- starting thunderbird
- chose in "Open PGP" the option "add key"
- click "add existing key"
- click "files for import"
- now chose in my /home the folder .gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
and then I get
Error opening /home/myusername/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
Access not granted
---
the settings for these are set:
drwxr-xr-x 6 myusername myusername 20480 24. Mär 17:51 .gnupg
drwxr-xr-x 6 myusername myusername 20480 24. Mär 17:51 .gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/
The keys themselves are set "rw" and owner is "myusername:myusername"
The only explanation I have, that thunderbird is calling a plugin with another owner than me, as thunderbird itself is started with ownership "myusername".
However, even if I set the rights to "everybody can read it" (what is of course only set for testing purposes!) it does not work.
Anything else, where I should take a look?
Thanks for any hints.
Best regards
Hans
