Bug Description

Upon first start, QtPass asks the user to generate a new GnuPG keypair. User is informed that "This operation can take some minutes." However, nothing changes even after 30 minutes.
This only occurs while launching QtPass for the first time.
This occurs both in live session and after installation on bare metal.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Lubuntu 21.10 in a live session
2. Launch QtPass from the Application Menu
3. Under "Generate a new key pair" fill the fields "Email", "Name" and "Passphrase" (repeat the passphrase)
4. Press "OK"
5. Wait for the keypair to generate

Result:
The keypair generation does not finish

Expected result:
Content of the "Generate GnuPG keypair" changes after max 10 minutes and user is instructed about the follow up action

Reproduction rate:
4/4

I can reproduce the bug you describe in a Ubuntu 22.04 live system.

The gpg key is actually generated correctly, so closing the window (and qtpass) will result in a usable qtpass on the next start, but this is of course just a workaround.

There is a bug report upstream that seems to describe the situation: https://github.com/IJHack/QtPass/issues/406
