How are you starting gpg-agent? Does pinentry-gtk-2 work?

If it is running via systemd --user you have to make sure that gpg-agent (and therefore pinentry-bemenu) have access to the WAYLAND_DISPLAY env variable.

How are you starting gpg-agent?

via systemd

Does pinentry-gtk-2 work?

gtk-2, qt, gnome3, curses works

If it is running via systemd --user you have to make sure that gpg-agent (and therefore pinentry-bemenu) have access to the WAYLAND_DISPLAY env variable.

$ systemctl --user show-environment | rg -i display 
DISPLAY=:0
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1

Did you restart gpg-agent after changing the settings? Your running gpg-agent is older than the first commit to pinentry-bemenu :-)

Does it work without starting through gpg-agent?

$ pinentry-bemenu
OK pinentry-bemenu v0.4.0
# send the "getpin" command manually, and look if the menu pops up
getpin

this works, popup visible

Reading your report more closely I can now reproduce the issue. So far I only used this tool for unlocking ssh keys. For GPG keys it needs to handle more options.

Thanks for the report!

okay, waiting for it. also bemenu from HEAD has password hiding option, but it dont included in latest release in repo. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu/commit/52547807b06912d9fce5470bb8ce314e8d5ccc8d

[t-8ch]

This is fixed in v0.5.0

FYI the upcoming password hiding function is already wired up to be used as soon as it's available from bemenu.

[wh1tevs]

now works. Thanks!

I can confirm that the issue was fixed in 8947943. But the issue was reintroduced in dc74bc5. So current HEAD is not working for GPG keys anymore.
