Hi

After upgrading to 9.10 I am having trouble opening my old files encrypted with pgp. My keyring is still on the computer as I did an update and not a clean install. The problem is that I get a message saying that there is no pgp/mime program installed to open the file. Which program should I install to fix this?

Thanks

ubunboy,
What program did you use to encrypt your files?

I am really not sure. It was the program installed on 8.10 and 9.04. I just did a right click on the file and choose encrypt. This option is however not in 9.10. That is what makes me confused... I have tried to find out what was used on the previous releases, but I have had no luck - so I tried here:D

sudo apt-get install seahorse-plugins
Press Alt+F2 and type

nautilus -q
Press Alt+F2 again and type

nautilus

That will get the option back in the right click menu and allow you do decrypt your files.
