feel free to message me or to open an issue on the repo if you run into issues getting lem.el going. others have already helped me iron out a few getting-started issues.

Well, I keeping getting an error message that says: plstore--insert-buffer: GPG error: "Encrypt failed", "Exit".

Do I need to install a GPG executable or a GPG library? What is it even trying to Encrypt, can I turn that off? Why doesn't mastodon.el give me the same error?

interesting. mastodon.el also uses plstore, so if it works (saving your credentials) your machine's encryption should be working. but the auth process for the two services is totally different, so I had to write the lem.el auth code from scratch. I can take a look at it v soon, I'm keen to have any auth issues sorted out asap.

it'd help if you cd describe when the error message appears, or what exactly you do that causes it.

actually a backtrace would be most useful to track down the error.

you cd also try opening the plstore file in your .Emacs.d folder and encrypting / decrypting it.

thanks!

Does that ioctl error in my sibling comment sound like GPG is expecting me to type the password at a tty instead of Emacs or something like that?
