Difficulty with Kgpg

fixit7 · 10 March 2017 22:28

I am looking to encrypt files using a GUI interface.

I installed Kgpg.

I created a passphrase and it generated a key.

However, when I double click on KGpg, nothing happens.

I use Thunar as my file manager and when I right click a file, Kgpg is not available.

I am using

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

thanks jake19.

I figured out how to use the command line gpg.

So I uninstalled kgpg.
