[Bug 883152] Re: User folder encryption methods being inconsistent

 

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  User folder encryption methods being inconsistent

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu, the user is offered to encrypt his personal
  folder; but when adding new users after installation, no choose
  between encrypting or not is offered. Then the user may think that if
  he has chosen to encrypt during installation, any new user personal
  folder will be encrypted; when it really won't.
