Gopass: Able to store secrets, but with errors

[mrcrilly]

I saw gopass on Hacker News and thought I would check it out. I actually plan on doing a PR for #4, but I have experienced an issue I want to raise here. Perhaps someone can expand further on this.

$ gopass insert world
Enter password for world:
Failed to restore terminal: errno 0
Retype password for world:
Failed to restore terminal: errno 0
gopass: Encrypting world for these recipients:
 - 0xB058C2BF639F134B - Mike C (Hi) <[email protected]>

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]:
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit object

Error: failed to committ files to git: exit status 128

$ gopass show world
hello

So I insert a secret and it seems to fail, but then I'm able to retrieve it. The secret is present in the .password-store as a .gpg file and is indeed encrypted. Any thoughts on the errors here?

Versions:

• macOS 10.12
• gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.30 / libgcrypt 1.7.6 (gpg installed via brew)
• git version 2.11.0
• gopass HEAD (n/a ) go1.7.5

Please take a look at the FAQ.
https://www.justwatch.com/gopass/faq/

I think that's exactly the problem, right?! 😊

@metalmatze the FAQ solves part of the problem, thanks for that.

but the error Failed to restore terminal: errno 0 still remains

I can confirm this bug. It happend to me right now on ArchLinux.

The bug is the same i discover on #17

Change the .git/config solve the probleme

[edit for clarity]

I was seeing the same problem:

Error: failed to committ files to git: exit status 128

(ps, #27 fixes the typo...)

In addition to the FAQ cited above, it turned out that I had used one form of my company email when creating the GPG key ([email protected]) and had a different form in my ~/.gitconfig [user] section ([email protected]).

Changing the email address in my ~/.gitconfig to match the one I used in the key allowed things to complete successfully.

Seems like I should pick one form and stick with it...

I'm facing this bug as well. My setup is identical to @mrcrilly
I also tried the FAQ, change signingkey in git config and change gpg email as @hartzell mentioned as well but no luck.

FYI, for anyone like me who didn't read the homebrew output of installing pinentry-mac as required in the FAQ

You need to create a gpg-agent.conf file and set the pinentry-program

vim ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
# insert
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac
# save 

This fixes a lot of errors, as by default GPG is trying to use the pinentry-ncurses and gopass can't use it as of 1.0.1. Setting the pinentry-program uses the Mac pop-up window to prompt for password
This cleared the show and insert (exit status 128) errors I was having.

````bash
gopass show bar

I can confirm @jamesboswell's comment, it fixed my issue. The only error now is: Failed to restore terminal: errno 0

[metalmatze]

This issue was fixed in #85 and commented on in #80.
