qprocess won't start

[arnauldb]

Hello,

in windows 8.1 64 I have an error message after launching Qtpass. It says Qprocess doesn't start...any help.

Thank you.

@annejan can you use the modern.ie vm for this or do you need a new one?

[arnauldb]

I would prefer to have qprocess launched than using a vm...

[annejan]

@arnauldb I'm assuming @beefcurtains meant for me to test it in a Windows VM since I don't (normally) run Windows ;-)

Quick question though, did you use my installer or compile QtPass yourself?

[arnauldb]

ok, I misunderstood. I used your installer qtpass-0.8.4.exe. Then I launch QtPass, fill in the fields to generate a new key pair. Then I have a screen saying "generate GnuPG keypair" that lasts for 10, 20 minutes...until I close it. Then, after closing, an other error message "password store not initialised". And

I have installed Windows 8.1 (64bit) and have the same thing happening indeed.

It seems to be something that can happen on all windows versions though. Thanks for reporting this.
Will keep you updated on how the fix is going . .

Thank you, and thanks for your work.

Can you confirm https://github.com/IJHack/qtpass/releases/tag/v0.8.5.1 fixes this issue?
In my test VM the recent changes fixed this issue completely . .

Hello,

no, it doesn't work for me. I completely uninstalled previous versions, but I still have the error message saying Qprocess doesn't start. And the window for generating the keys lasts for hours. Here is my config in QtPass

[annejan]

The QProcess::FailedToStart is caused by hanging process..
I'm guessing the keygen never worked or is requesting more input or something, and/or you already have a GPG keypair but the keyring couldn't be opened (had that sometimes).
Will try and replicate on new VM tomorrow.

Hey everyone
I have the same error (Windows 8.1 64bit). Although I used TortoiseGit to clone my existing password repository beforehand, QtPass says QProcess::FailedToStart. So my guess its not only about the keygen but something with the connection to gpg2.exe
Cheers

Now wondering . . could it be that weird slash "tent" in the path /\ that is breaking things?
