I fiddled a bit around to get this passphrase caching working. So post my way to go here, to be able to look up later.

Packages to install:

  • thunderbird-enigmail
  • pinentry-qt
  • kde-agent

I created the key pair using the enigmail wizard inside Thunderbird.

The pinentry-qt package is used for the passphrase query.

The 'kde-agent' delivers startup and shutdown scripts for the gpg-agent for kde.

Afterwards you can edit

~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

to edit caching times for you private key passphrase.

After one restart you should be able to enter only once the passphrase per given default-cache-ttl time span.

You can also configure ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and add the following line:

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-kwallet

to enable the GPG Passphrase Management with your KDE wallet
