This is not a duplicate of Bug #353446 even if it's similar.
Description of defect:
If the user enables password-less login through users-admin with encrypted home directory, the next reboot won't decrypt the home directory.
Step to reproduce:
- open users-admin
- click the change button next to password
- tick Don't ask for password on login
- reboot
What's expected to happen:
- the login will suceed and the home directory will be decrypted
What happened:
- the home directory won't be decrypted
- the user will be logged in but with a lot of errors caused from missing files/directories
System:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS i386 with all updates applied
The similar bug #353446 solved this issue hiding the users with
encrypted home from automatic login.
