Seeing this in Maverick too. The attached screenshot shows that you simply need 1- to have an encrypted home directory (done at install time) 2- to check the "Don't ask for password on login" option in the user settings
Symptoms are as described above; ICE Authority errors, Nautilus not having permissions to launch, etc. Strangely enough, if you switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) and do a "sudo service gdm restart" and then click your username, it logins properly and decrypts the home directory, allowing GNOME to read your prefs etc. So it seems this happens only on the first login attempt, subsequent logins work. ** Attachment added: "screenshot - how to trigger the bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/581303/+attachment/1650205/+files/pass%20not%20asked%20on%20login.png -- Home directory won't be decrypted if user password isn't asked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
