[Bug 259631] Re: Cannot open Private directory after a reboot when "Automatic Login" enabled

 

The fix doesn't seem to work for me, i.e. I can't mount when I login
from SSH using public key auth. Also, I followed the instructions posted
above to create the symlinks in my unmounted Private directory, but the
files those symlinks should point to aren't there on my system.

For reference:

tawmas@tylke:~/Private$ apt-cache policy ecryptfs-utils 
ecryptfs-utils:
  Installed: 53-1ubuntu12
  Candidate: 53-1ubuntu12
  Version table:
 *** 53-1ubuntu12 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

tawmas@tylke:~/Private$ ls -l /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/
ls: cannot access /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/: No such file or directory

(I just upgraded to Jaunty, but had already tested SSH access on
Intrepid, with intrepid-proposed enabled and all upgrades applied).

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
