Description

I tried following the instructions here and found that I could not use gpg. According to the instructions, all I have to do is initialize a key and set the GNUPGHOME env var. The instructions further read "The agent is automatically started if it isn't running when you run any gpg command." However, when I tried to use gpg I always got a message like:

timothy@yoga:~/foo[master] > echo "hi" | gpg2 --sign
gpg: Warning: not using 'Timothy Hobbs <timothy@hobbs.cz>' as default key: No secret key
gpg: all values passed to '--default-key' ignored
gpg: no default secret key: No secret key
gpg: signing failed: No secret key

After cding to the directory .gnupg/trezor and running the command ./run-agent.sh, I was able to use gpg as expected.

Here is my version information:

timothy@yoga:~/foo[master] > trezor-gpg --version
trezor-agent=0.9.2 libagent=0.11.2
timothy@yoga:~/foo[master] > gpg2 --version
