Hi, first of all thanks for pam_gnupg, everything is working as expected but my logs are showing some errors:

Is there something that I don't know and I am suppose to know.

Sorry for the very late reply. The error message is indeed harmless. It happens during authentication, before opening the session, when the agent is not running yet. Unlocking then succeeds in session.
The option store-only to the auth optional ...-line can be used to disable sending the passphrase during authentication, which will suppress this message. In general, it should probably always be used for services that do open a session, i.e. gdm but not i3lock. I'm going to restructure some parts of the README anyway and will state that more clearly then.

I updated the README, it now suggests using store-only for any service that opens a session. Closing this.
