Dustin,

ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase [LOGIN_PASSPHRASE] (with my actual login password) returns
Unable to read salt value from user's .ecryptfsrc file; using default fa0ec2d..........

Clicking the link in ~/Private after this does not mount the directory,
and the commands "mount.ecryptfs_private" and "ecryptfs-mount-private"
still gives the error message "keyctl_search: Required key not
available".

ls -la ~/.ecryptfs shows:
drwx------  2 rune rune 4096 2008-10-14 14:26 .

Can open Private directory after a reboot

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I created an encrypted private directory following the instructions here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory

Everything worked as it should until I rebooted. When I try to mount my private directory I get the following message:

 jimk@intrepid:~$ mount.ecryptfs_private
keyctl_search: Required key not available

When I go to create a key, I get the following message:

jimk@intrepid:~$ ecryptfs-setup-private
ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite.

I can create a new passphrase if I use the force option, but I shouldn't have to do this everytime I reboot
