I believe this should be fixed in Ubuntu Natty. See Bug #689969. Check out the 'ecryptfs-recover-private' utility and the manpage, 'man ecryptfs-recover-private'.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue , in the default Ubuntu 9.10 install , that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of the project. as per comment#1 not a papercut. For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as invalid ONLY in the papercuts project. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New = Invalid -- recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I disagree with you about the security risk. In my opinion the only thing a person should need to recover his own data is a reasonable secure password, and one that the user can choose by himself. To make the recovery process cumbersome for average user it is not a gain in security, because average malicious attacker actually _has_ the knowledge to recover the passphrase starting from the user's password and then to mount the disk. Thus the user password strength is the only point on which we should concentrate on in order to increase security. In my opinion the way ecryptfs is implemented in KK is only an hassle for the average user without being a benefit in security improvement -- recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 483933] Re: recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners
I understand your issue but the whole point of having the home folder encrypted is that recovering it with something like a live CD isn't exactly easy. Having it any other way would pose a security risk. I do agree that inexperienced users would be totally lost trying to do it, and most will not have bothered to retain a copy of the encryption key. Sounds like some discussion is needed to see if a solution can be found to accomodate everyone -- recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
