Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.

If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748036 Title: .pam_environment not applied if home directory is encrypted Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Regression of bug #952185. Variables in ~/.pam_environment are not applied when I start my computer and login. When I then re-login, they _are_ applied. I have manually copied my ~/.pam_environment to the original, non- ecryptfs-mounted ~/ and then the file is always applied. After #952185, the fix seems to have been to change debian/*.pam to run pam_env after common-session. But I don't understand why the line in common-auth isn't enough to mount ecryptfs. Perhaps pam_ecryptfs.so only does the unmounting in the session phase.
