pgp-secured mail exchange: how to get started

[thedighubs]

g day dear experts here - hello dear Community, 🙂

i need to get started with seahorse on Linux. Well i have to get a rapid start into this pgp-encryption method that supports pgp secured mail traffic with my friend.

so first of all i have installed SeaHorse on my Notebook a older ( a very old ) Ubuntu-Notebook

ubuntu@T420s:~$ sudo apt-get install seahorse
[sudo] Password for ubuntu:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading status information... Done
seahorse is already the latest version (43.0-1build1).
seahorse was set as manually installed.
The following packages were installed automatically and are no longer needed:
grub-pc-bin libevent-2.1-7a
Use sudo apt autoremove to remove them.
0 updated, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not updated.
ubuntu@T420s:~$

hmm - i hope that this went all right and i hope that i now am able to get the thing started.
well if so - then i think i can start to use it - and then i want to start using GnuPG keys.

I need - this is at least the procedure in my mind - i need always to generate a whole keypair.
Can this be done with the SeaHorse?!

i really really look forward to a hint from you experts



regards 😉





update: well i guess it worked

ubuntu@T420s:~$ seahorse -v
seahorse 43.0
GNUPG: /usr/bin/gpg (2.2.40)
ubuntu@T420s:~$

and now i have to dive into all that!!
