Description of problem: When attempting to view my own photo, or add a different photo, or sign my own key or trust another installed key receive "General Error" unable to proceed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.20.0 How reproducible: Always for me. Repeats in both Wayland and X-11. Have tried a re-install of seahorse via dnf Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Seahorse (same results starting from menu or terminal) 2. Select GnuPG keys 3. select any installed key 4. right-click for 'properties' and pop-up appears. If in terminal receive a critical warning: (seahorse:7268): seahorse-CRITICAL **: file pgp/seahorse-gpgme-key-op.c: line 2420 (photoid_load_transit): should not be reached seahorse-Message: couldn't load key photos: General error (but am able to proceed) 5. select a key and attempt to Trust, receive a popup "Unable to change trust General error ---- close" 6. another example - select own key (I have a photo but does not display). If I attempt to add a different photo, I can proceed, but once new photo selected receive error "Couldn't add photo General error ----- close" Actual results: Receive "General Error ..." unable to complete the operation Expected results: I should be able to trust or sign a key, or edit my photo. Additional info: gpg and gpg2 appear to work correctly from command line. I am able to check my keys and encrypt and decrypt messages manually.
Confirmed, having the same problems running Fedora 27: ame : seahorse Version : 3.20.0 Release : 6.fc27 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Thu 08 Mar 2018 03:06:21 PM CET Group : Unspecified Size : 6224314 License : GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ Signature : RSA/SHA256, Sat 05 Aug 2017 08:52:43 PM CEST, Key ID f55e7430f5282ee4 Source RPM : seahorse-3.20.0-6.fc27.src.rpm Build Date : Fri 04 Aug 2017 09:24:11 PM CEST Build Host : buildhw-05.phx2.fedoraproject.org Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : Fedora Project Vendor : Fedora Project URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Seahorse Summary : A GNOME application for managing encryption keys Description : Seahorse is a graphical interface for managing and using encryption keys. It also integrates with nautilus, gedit and other places for encryption operations. It is a keyring manager.
Same problem in F28 with seahorse-3.20.0-9.fc28.x86_64. You can import with Seahorse an existing GPG key but at the end nothing appear in Seahorse.
problem persists in FC 28, Seahorse 3.20.0; perhaps even more severe in that the entire section related to gnuPGP is missing. See bug 1577397 -> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577397.
Issue from mainstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse/issues/4 . "For your issue, I think (but I'm not completely sure) that the seahorse package of Fedora does not enable the compilation option for GPG keys, which is why you're not seeing them." Can someone confirm?
With seahorse-3.30-1.fc29.x86_64 it is possible to see again GPG's entries and edit them.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
