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

 

Just to be more specific: Does anyone have this problem on non-"Athlon
XP" hardware? In my case I have an old Duron, which is an Athlon XP with
less cache.

I bet the problem is not present on Athlon 64 hardware (otherwise this
bug would be flooded with reports). Maybe it is an error on some
hardware optimized path to speed up ecryptfs? For example, Athlon XP
does have SSE but it does not have SSE2 extensions.

Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
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
