This problem still exists in 13.10. I have an encrypted home folder. When I installed the fprint system, it asked me which authentications to tie to fingerprint, and it included ecrypt. However, when I log in, with or without typing password, at the login screen, it dumps me into a nonresponsive black screen.
This is not a friendly outcome. If I log in through tty, I am told of the problem and told to try running ecryptfs-mount-private which takes my normal password and then mounts my home folder. After that, if I kill the gnome-session I can subsequently log in. In fact, the above sounds like a better workaround than having an external USB? Log in first using tty, do the above sequence, and then return to the GUI login screen. ** Summary changed: - fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account + fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
