cannot sign a message if primaryKey missing and using subkey: key not decrypted

[tomholub]

Regarding signing of messages, I get an error saying "Private key is not decrypted". Is this maybe a problem because of a missing primary key and a extra subkey for signing messages.

another case: support https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox/15b4a0e2fbf06dee

cannot sign atttest + cannot sign emails / encrypted key / accepts pass phrase but says "Private key is not decrypted"

I'm using gnupg 2.2.1 on linux. I have a sub key pairs (SE: RSA2048) and I get this error when I click the sign key. I have tried generating a few keys (with fresh master key), I still receive this error.
Extra info: I have tried this with mailvelope and it cannot be decrypted with that extension too.
Signing and decrypting files in terminal is fine.

Edit: decryption is fine.

looks like something we need to fix in OpenPGP.js. Can you please create a bogus private key for me that is showing this behavior. If you could paste:

1. misbehaving private key (and pass phrase if any or keep without pass phrase)
2. a message signed with the key in terminal

That will help me debug it.

Hi,
I have made the keys and put the steps taken in the message.txt file. The pass phrase is 1. The gnupg folder is included in case you need to dig into the keyring.

BTW, I love your plugin. It has been improved since last time I tried it about a year ago. Well done!

I'm saving them here so that I can still find it when I get time to debug it. Thanks!

Just a quick feedback: I just imported my keys into firefox and it signs the message just fine. The problem seems to be related to google chrome.

[tomholub]

That's weird. It still doesn't work in Chrome, but does in Firefox?

[arsham]

Correct. I just tried with chromium (Arch Linux OS), got the same issue.

I'm seeing this too. Ubuntu 17.10 and chrome. Just a subkey in my flowcrypt config.

[tomholub]

Subkey-only key exported from GPG, is that correct @dpnova ?

[ppmotskula]

Same behaviour here. Ubuntu 17.10, Chromium, separate signing subkey. Decryption works, signing doesn't.

[tomholub]

@ppmotskula Is that also a subkey-only key or some other structure?

[ppmotskula]

It's a subkey-only key.

This should now be solved. Please try and report success or failure back, thanks!
