[Bug 1556827] Re: Pinentry hangs for ~30s before asking for passphrase when invoked by Enigmail

[gf]

Hello Rudiger,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with pinentry delay.  You made this bug report in 2016 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu since then. 

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? 
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? 
If you are, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1556827
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. 

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better. 
G

Bug description:
  I have the same problem that another user has already reported in the Debian bug tracker:
  When encrypting/decrypting mails with the enigmail plugin to thunderbird, it takes ~30 seconds until the pinentry dialog gets displayed.
  This is with pinentry-gnome3. Enigmail does not work at all with pinentry-gtk2.
