The problem

Cannot commit signed commits. Keep getting the following error about keyboxd probably not installed:

gpg: error running '/usr/lib/gnupg/keyboxd': probably not installed
gpg: failed to start keyboxd '/usr/lib/gnupg/keyboxd': Configuration error
gpg: can't connect to the keyboxd: Configuration error
gpg: error opening key DB: No Keybox daemon running
gpg: skipped "7A31ED5C959237B4": Input/output error
gpg: signing failed: Input/output error
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object

Additional context

This is happening consistently after the last update. Essentially making the app useless since I have to sign all my commits.

@cimonwoo thanks for the issue. You should be able to resolve this by running the following command:

gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye

Even though GPG is not officially supported in GitHub Desktop this guide is a good start to verify there aren't any specific configuration issues.

We're also tracking this in #14274. I'm going to close this out, but let me know if you have any further issues.
