GPG passphrase caching problems |

After I have installed, tested and uninstalled KDE4.1 on my Intrepid Ibex (Ubuntu 8.10) Laptop,the GPG passphrase caching in GNOME didn't work any more - I had to go the cumbersome way and enter the passphrase every time I wrote an email etc. This is a really annoying problem. The system settings said: "A supported PGP passphrase agent is not running"(btw the original message is shown in german: Es läuft kein unterstützter Dienst zum Zwischenspeichern von PGP-Kennwörtern) although from my point of view everything was correctly installed - gpg, gpg-agent, seahorse, seahorse agent -- I had no idea where the problem was. Several re-installations didn't solve the problem at all. After some googling I found the solution to the problem here:
http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/07/21/a-supported-pgp-passphrase-agent-is-not-running/
which says:
The solution that I found, which is also outlined within the bug, is to remove a file that is apparently being loaded when the X session starts. For some reason this file conflicts with the seahorse key caching system, and neither work.
To fix the issue simply move the conflicting file elsewhere:
sudo mv /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent ~/90gpg-agent.bak
obvisouly this conflicting file "90gpg-agent" was created when I installed KDE4.1 and wasn't removed with the un-install of KDE (I just guess) - anyway: problem solved, happy again ;-) .

Is the browser war still ongoing? I'd rather say it is a browser "cramp". It really was a blessing when Mozilla Firefox came up with a much, much better user experience than Internet Explorer and started gnawing on IE's market share. Meanwhile I have the feeling that Firefox became something like an elephant - still a good browsing experience, but the app feels heavy and lazy. Probably FF didn't really get slower and it only seems so to me - since I have tried Google Chrome on Windows: based on KHTML it renders beautiful web pages and - it is blazing fast!
Open a browser. Go to Google Website. Download Chrome for Ubuntu Linux. Stop. What the heck .... Chrome is not (yet) available for Linux - but wait, there is another underdog on the warplace: A cute little animal called "SWIFTWEASEL".
Swiftweasel is a performance optimised build of Firefox - fully open and should be 100% compatible with all plugins and extensions of FF. I really like it - the subjective/felt performance is a tick better. But this "tick" makes working with web-apps or simply senseless browsing a joy ;-)

We enjoyed a wonderful winter day with tons of snow in Gosau, Upper Austria. One of the few days our doggies are really tired in the evening ;-) ...see "Galleries".
