KGpg Linewrap Decryption
Warning: Linux related encryption / decryption stuff.
You can summarily ignore this unless you care about such things.
Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04, which included an upgrade to KGPG, I've had a problem decrypting data on the clipboard. It's a known problem, with not many options. I could go into it, but you're welcome to google kgpg linewrap decryption for yourself. Basically it was ignoring the carrige returns on data in the clipboard, so I would have to manually paste it into the editor, and then go to decrypt it from there.
Well, I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, which included some updates to kgpg as well as the GnuPG program it uses on the back end. New version of Kgpg is 2.2.2 (KDE ver 4.3.5) and Gnupg 1.4.9.
So, in short, I finally got it working, and I'm posting this publically with the hopes that someone else googling for it will come across this post, and find it slightly useful.
After the updates, open up KGpg, and click on "Settings" then "Configure KGpg"
(Not that it matters, but I un-checked ASCII armored encryption. My office uses binary mode.) I've got PGP 6 compatibility turned on. Scroll down on the left hand side to where you find "Misc" and click it.
I have "Start Automatic" checked, then I cleared "Use mouse selection" as well as "Display Warning"
After I did that, I was able to decrypt from the clipboard.
