I am seeing this problem in newly installed xbuntu 12.04 LTS. The various workarounds have not helped.
Strangely, I am also now being prompted to select a session after booting. Looking at syslog, I see, May 1 20:14:56 netbook sudo: pam_ecryptfs: pam_sm_authenticate: /home/roger is already mounted Again, unmount doesn't work. Response is umount: /home/roger/.gvs: not found Implied is a problem with thunar because I can find and open files in /~, e.g., opening a document with Libre Writer. I can also see html files stored there with FireFox. Maybe uninstall and re-install thunar? /Roger -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754618 Title: Failed to open encrypted home directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/754618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
