[PGP Problem] Can't decrypt messages

This may not be the best sub for this, but it's more active and I'm sure someone here can help.

I reinstalled kleopatra, using GnuPG v2. Did all the usual stuff, imported my public/private keys, I can encrypt messages, but on my clipboard when I go to decrypt a message, it doesn't allow me to click it. I'm sure I just forgot to do something elementary, but it's pretty annoying. I need to read this lol.

Can someone chime in and help? I'm not the best

Looks like you didn't have a valid pgp message in your clipboard.

Are you positive you imported your public AND private keys?

Have you trusted your personal keypair? I'm not super familiar with Kleopatra, but some PGP programs require you to trust the keypair that you use to decrypt messages.


[1 Points] threegold:

Have you tried different messages? Are you sure the message is encrypted to your key?

If you want to send me your key (PM or on this thread) I can encrypt a message to you and cross that off the list of possible problems.

Heres my public key. You can try to send me a message but I'm 99% sure I won't be able to decrypt it :c
