In order to enter existing GPG passphrase, I recommend installing and using a graphical Pinentry:
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ sudo apt install pinentry-gnome3
|
||||
$ sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry
|
||||
There are 4 choices for the alternative pinentry (providing /usr/bin/pinentry).
|
||||
|
||||
