[Bug 581303] Re: Home directory won't be decrypted if user password isn't asked
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 577563 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577563 Hello, I just ran into this problem. Here's what I've found: you cannot automatically login or do a passwordless login if your home directory is encrypted. When you switch to the terminal and log in, you're decrypting your home directory. Thus, once you've logged in through the terminal, you can log in to your desktop by going back to the login screen through ctrl+alt+F8 or a sudo service gdm restart. I almost couldn't log into my Xubuntu because of this. I went to Users and Groups and selected Don't ask for password on login. When Login Screen Settings wouldn't let me log in automatically (my username was not selectable), I assumed it was a bug, not a warning, so I manually edited the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file to let me log in automatically. Because I still wanted my computer to be (mostly) secure, I enabled the lock screen after login. But when gdm tried to automatically log in, the screen would go blank and then I would be kicked back to the login screen because my home directory was encrypted. The reason I went down this rabbit hole was to have wireless automatically enabled when (X)ubuntu starts. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
