Public bug reported: I've done a fresh new installation of the final release of Lucid Lynx on an empty partition.
Release: Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) Gnome: 2.30.0 Kernel: 2.6.32-21-generic My system is unluckly affected by the "blank screen bug" see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/546578 Motherboard -> Intel D850GB (Garibaldi) cpu -> Intel Pentium 4 - 2.0 GHz graphic card -> ATI Radeon 9250 128 MB DDR RAM -> 2.0 GB 1024 MB (2x516) RIMM SAMSUNG 800 MHz 1024 MB (2x516) RIMM SAMSUNG 800 MHz I installed lucid creating an admin account checking the home encryption option. Once finished the installation l logged in and created other users, some of them with the command sudo adduser fou --encrypted-home others with the gui User settings tool under System > Administration > Users and groups and checking the encryption option. In my experience in none of them home encryption is working. Here is my test: 1) logged in as admin user (first user created while installing) 2) switch user to a supposed encrypted user (both using the user switcher panel applet or the indicator applet session) 3) switch back to admin and try to reach the encrypted user data using an interactive sudo session and all documents are correctly decrypted (as the encrypted user is logged) 4) switch again to encrypted user and terminate its session (both using the user switcher panel applet or the indicator applet session) 5) log again back to admin (already opened session) and find through an interactive sudo session that all the encrypted user data are still decrypted! Only 1 time over 10 tests I found them encrypted. 6) any time I found them encrypted I rebooted and logged in again as admin user (first user created while installing) and found the encrypted user data still decrypted! A few clarification: - encrypted users are testing users created with admin / desktop / personalized privileges - the interactive sudo session I use is both: a. press alt+f2 and type gksu nautillus and cd with the root window to /home/user b. or open a terminal and type sudo -i and cd to /home/user Maybe this is concerned with the mentioned blank screen bug, as it seems through forums that other lucid users, not affected by this bug, can correctly encrypt their home folders. Maybe sessions of users affected by the blank screen bug cannot be closed or suspended properly. A last note: using sysinfo tool Xorg version is signed as unknown.
