Thanks for your messages.
Hey, that's a good idea! Maybe this is the time to go to Trisquel 8 and
contribute to testing.
Sorry, I meant I have simply forgotten the new password I set to my user, so
I'm locked out, but fortunately I still keep with me the passphrase I used to
encrypt the home folder when I installed Trisquel long ago.
Magic Banana: I like the idea of moving to Trisquel 8, but your 7-step guide
does not include a solution to my problem, does it?
I guess the step 0 should be to decrypt the home directory somehow. I guess
with ecryptfs-recover-private. But, will that leave permissions as they were
so that later everything works ok?
