/var/lib/fprintd

Title:
fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account

Status in ecryptfs-utils package in Ubuntu:

Status in libfprint package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In Ubuntu 12.04 (and maybe in 11.10 too) if you have an encrypted home
directory then logging in from GDM by fingerprint does not work, the
home directory cannot be decrypted. For non-encrypted users works fine
but for encrypted after the fingerprint is recognized, it tries to
start Ubuntu but seems to break and comes back to the lightDM login.
With the password works fine.
I have libfprint0: Installed: 1:0.4.0+git20120202-0ppa1~precise2
Normally it should allow to login but it can access and comes back to
the ligthDM.
