Ubuntu 18.04.1 is released., This issue is not fixed, not addressed, not acknowledged as being an issue by key developers, and no plans to do this in the future were announced.
We have migrated our computers to Linux Mint 19 Tara, which (still) supports ecryptfs home encryption. The one drawback according to the release notes is that in order to work around bugs that were introduced upstream, the encrypted home will _not_ be unmounted when a user logs out. This is acceptable to us, first because the boot time is blazing fast (under 5 seconds), but second and more importantly, full disk encryption is not acceptable to us for multiple reasons. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768340 Title: fscrypt does not work for home directory encryption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fscrypt/+bug/1768340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
