KMyMoney won't open encrypted files after Ubuntu upgrade to 24.04

[Brendan Coupe]

I had a similar problem when upgrading to Fedora 40 last year. My 
problem was that I was setting the pinentry-program to a program that no 
longer came with Fedora and was removed when I upgraded. I don't 
remember which pinentry program it was.

Once I changed it to a valid and installed pinentry program, everything 
worked again.

I suggest you check ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and make sure the program 
called in:

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt

exists.

I hope your problem is a simple to fix as mine was.
