Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cryptsetup
I have set up LUKS to have my encrypted home directory auto mounted when logging in. After upgrading to Karmic, I noticed that from time to time my home dir would not get mounted. Recently, this has become very annoying: I have to try several times before cryptsetup succeeds in opening my home partition.
