[Bug 292429] [NEW] Error when copying directory tree with Nautilus to ~/Private using ecryptfs

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I set up ecryptfs following the instructions in the community
documentation:

$ sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
$ ecryptfs-setup-private

Logged out and logged back in.  I see the "Private" drive icon on the
desktop.

If I copy single files into the Private drive in Nautilus, it seems to
work.  However, if I select a directory tree to copy in Nautilus by
hilighting a directory, pressing control-C and then clicking on Private
and pressing control-V to paste, I get an error message for every file
in the directory tree that I was trying to copy:

Error while copying "guide.pdf".

There was an error copying the file into /home/me/Private/foo/benefits.

Show more details:
Error opening file '/home/me/Private/foo/benefits/guide.pdf': Cannot allocate memory
