I'm having an issue importing or generating gpg secret keys on ubuntu 18.04 with my main (sudo) non-root user. With root user I have no problems with gpg, but non-root and it's basically permission denied. When I execute tty, you can see g&o have no read permissions. Is there somewhere I can address this to open it up at boot, and safely?

ls -la $(tty);
crw--w---- 1 root tty 136, 1 Sep 13 02:22 /dev/pts/1

How did that become owned by root? Did you login as root? Do you have a script that changed it? – Michael Hampton Sep 13 '19 at 06:24
That was the issue – jacobnollette Sep 13 '19 at 18:30
Huh? What was the issue? – Michael Hampton Sep 13 '19 at 18:32
I was ssh in via root, then su into my user. – jacobnollette Sep 14 '19 at 05:56
