That's one possible way. If you want to have a graphical
dialog box, check which pinentry packages are installed:
$ dpkg -l '*pinentry*'
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-===============-============-============-======================================================
un pinentry <none> <none> (no description available)
ii pinentry-curses 1.1.0-2 amd64 curses-based PIN or pass-phrase
entry dialog for GnuPG
ii pinentry-doc 1.1.0-2 all documentation for pinentry
packages
un pinentry-gnome3 <none> <none> (no description available)
un pinentry-gtk2 <none> <none> (no description available)
ii pinentry-qt 1.1.0-2 amd64 Qt-based PIN or pass-phrase entry
dialog for GnuPG
un pinentry-qt4 <none> <none> (no description available)
un pinentry-x11 <none> <none> (no description available)
as you see, at my system, there are two pinentry packages
installed (besides the docs): pinentry-curses for terminal
while pinentry-qt provides a graphical dialog box. I choose
pinentry-qt, because it had fewer dependencies and was
smaller than the other options.
If your system lacks a graphical pinentry, install one.
Ciao; Gregor
