In case you want to use the included Secure Shell Agent you may start the agent using: gpg-connect-agent /bye The usual way to run the agent is from the ~/. xsession file: eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) If you don't use an X server, you can also put this into your regular startup file ~/.
gpg-agent is a daemon to manage secret (private) keys independently from any protocol. It is used as a backend for gpg and gpgsm as well as for a couple of other utilities. The agent is automatically started on demand by gpg , gpgsm , gpgconf , or gpg-connect-agent .
The GPG error should rather be treated as a warning against potential package installation from unknown sources. Therefore, the GPG error message prompts the user to verify and manually import the third party signature belonging to relevant package developer.
To do this, run terminal and type in " sudo apt-get install gnupg " and follow through with any prompting you may get. Install a GUI for GPG. To install a popular GUI, go to the terminal and type in " sudo apt-get install kgpg ". Follow through with any prompting you may get.
