I believe that this bug has been solved long ago with a lightdm upload.
Marking the ecryptfs-utils task as fix released as this issue seems to
be fixed.

The issue got marked as a duplicate somewhere else so i joined this bug.
But actually i don't have ecryptfs and the workaround comment #9
suggested was not anywhere near possible or a remedy. This was more
likely a upgrade permission messup somewhere within gdm / lightdm.

Well, made the mistake to go for precise.
So nothing works at all. System hangs. Kernel Panic. Other bugs..
Well, had that issue also. Deleting, changing the Attributes of that
.Xauthority file did not fix a thing.
My workaround: Purge gdm. Not lightdm. Remove the leftover files
manually.. ( in
Downside of this. Now i have to start Xorg manually. Start lightdm or
gdm manually. How can i restore it to be started automatically?

naxHO, you shouldn't have both autologin and ecryptfs enabled. You'll
have to turn off autologin.

Hmm, was there a regression here? I have lightdm 0.9.7-0ubuntu1, and see
the exact the same issue with could not update ICEauthority file
.ICEauthority. User has the home directory crypted with ecryptfs, which
stays unencrypted, which is why the error is shown.

Tomasz, do you have autologin turned on or login without a password?
Those are incompatible with ecryptfs and I just uploaded a new gnome-
control-center that will prevent you from using such options with it.

We do wait to start the session until PAM authorizes us. But it's true
that lightdm apparently likes to reach into the user's home directory
before PAM authorizes us.
I tested by forcing lightdm to treat /tmp as the user's home directory
and this problem went away. So what I think is happening

As I also can't login through lightdm right now, I tried to follow this
recipe as well. Merely removing .ICEauthority and .Xauthority doesn't
seem to be sufficient for me; may it be that this is just a red herring,
and that logging into the VT is a required step here to unlock ecryptfs?

Adding ecryptfs-utils as affected. I don't *think* the bug is there,
as it seems to work with gdm, but having this bug show up under
ecryptfs-utils should help with its discoverability.

At a quick glance, it looks to me like lightdm is trying to do something
in the user's home directory before pam_ecryptfs finishes mounting it.

The strange thing to me is that before the encrypted home is mounted,
$HOME is perm'd 500. So not even the owner should be able to write to
it. This is by design to prevent you from accidentally writing
cleartext data to your home.
Even though that's the case, the failed lightdm login process
Okay, digging through the lightdm code a little, I'm looking at:
in src/display.c, the start_user_session() function does:
...
g_debug (Starting user session);
user = pam_session_get_user (authentication);
/* Load the users login settings (~/.dmrc) */
dmrc_file = dmrc_load
My starts pam session for other user early apparently was a red
herring. While that looks odd, according to the log it does complete the
PAM session for martin successfully. So I confirm that I have the
exact same bug here: I need to log into VT1 to unlock my ecryptfs home
dir. I still need more
I haven't gotten the .iCEauthority message in a bit, but I think I have
been able to hit the same bug, just without the popup. I'm suspecting
it's related to ecryptfs.
Notes:
* It seems to be easier to reproduce after rebooting via Ctrl+Alt+Del
* If after hitting this, I log into a VT, the

Michael, could you have a look? I think it's something wrong in the

was a stalled on from yesterday which was breaking login (could access
