Every time enigmail needs my passphrase the operation fails. When enabling the debugging option it gets clear what happens: [...] 2013-08-03 19:45:52.822 [DEBUG] enigmailCommon.jsm: decryptMessageEnd: stderrStr=Warning: using insecure memory! [GNUPG:] ENC_TO 48XXXXXXXXXXC 1 0 [GNUPG:] USERID_HINT 48XXXXXXXXXXXXC Martin Laabs <uni@martinlaabs.de> [GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE 48XXXXXXXXXXXC E3XXXXXXXXXXXX63 1 0 No protocol specified (pinentry:63844): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 gpg-agent[63843]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: Dateiende gpg-agent[63843]: command get_passphrase failed: Kein Pinentry gpg: Problem mit dem Agenten: Kein Pinentry [GNUPG:] ERROR get_passphrase 85 [GNUPG:] MISSING_PASSPHRASE [...] Calling "xhost +" solves the problem but obvious this is not the solution for that problem. Since I use PC-BSD I'm not sure if this problem is specific to the PBI packages (which reside not in /usr/local but in /usr/pbi/thunderbird...) but I think this bug is more general. Any ideas how to debug this problem more in detail are welcome. If you are sure this is PC-BSD specific I will post the bug to the PC-BSD developers. >How-To-Repeat: Configure thunderbird 17.0.7 with the integrated enigmail support (enigmail 1.5.1) and configure enigmail. Enable the debugging output in the OpenPGP->Preferences Debugging Tab and run an operation that requires your passphrase (i.e. decrypting an e-mail) >Fix: Enable X11 access with xhost+ but this is a big security issue... >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
