Next step: Assuming your saved as file is called grossi.xml (In case it is not called grossi.xml but grossi.kmy convert it first with

Code: Select all

zcat grossi.kmy > grossi.xml


can you try to encrypt it using the following commands

Code: Select all

gpg -a -e -r <your-key-id-here> grossi.xml
mv grossi.xml.asc grossi.kmy


Replace <your-key-id-here> with an identifier that allows gpg to get the key that you use from within KMyMoney (e.g. numeric key id or e-mail address)
Check that the file in fact is encrypted with

Code: Select all

head grossi.kmy

which should show something like that (I simply used my file here)

Code: Select all

thb@thb-nb:~$ head thb.kmy

In case it does not start with the BEGIN PGP MESSAGE it is probably not encrypted.

Then try loading it into KMyMoney with

Code: Select all

kmymoney grossi.kmy


and check if that works at all. Can you change something and save it and it stays encrypted? Do any warning/error messages show up?
I know, pretty lengthy stuff, but I have no idea where to start and try to get a few indications. Hope the instructions are clear for you to understand. If not, please ask.

Many many many thanks Thomas , with your indications I solved the rebus !

So, I follow your advise, but when I try to encrypt a scratch file "grossi.xml"

Code: Select all

gianmario@debian-acer:~$ gpg -a -e -r gianmario grossi.xml
gpg: 8C15E2AA5DD73968: saltata: chiave pubblica non trovata
gpg: grossi.xml: encryption failed: chiave pubblica non trovata

Very strange: the public key is not found; so I give this command

Code: Select all

gpg --list-keys
/home/gianmario/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

My public key is still present and I don't understand what happend; I check my "$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf" and I have
found at the end of the file theese lines

Code: Select all

# Try CERT, then PKA, then LDAP, then hkp://subkeys.net:
#auto-key-locate cert pka ldap hkp://subkeys.pgp.net

default-key  E903320142C872BB

encrypt-to  8C15E2AA5DD73968


The "default-key" is my exa-code key, but the last one I don't know what is so I put before a # to comment the line and
when a try to encrypt a file with the terminal now it works

Code: Select all

gianmario@debian-acer:~$ gpg -a -e -r gianmario grossi.xml
gianmario@debian-acer:~$ head grossi.kmy

After that I open KMymoney, I set the configuration to ecryption and when I use "save as" a new file with encryption
now is working !!!

I don't understand what happened but all my troubles due to a wrong line in my "gpg.conf" that I never edited

I change the subject with SOLVED; many many thanks to all for your attention

I'm glad that you solved it.

But it would be nice if KMyMoney showed some user error or warning.

Hallo Ftonello, I see your answere only today: I don't agree with your sentence because the reason of my troubbles was not for Kmymoney, but for GPG that generated a wrong code into the configuration file: i putted my head to the wall, but with the help of this amazing community they helped my to find the solution.
