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

 

Dustin-

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I could not figure out what the login passphrase was so I just uninstalled the whole thing using the instructions at: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory

I then reinstalled it, but for some reason,  I still can't get the
Private Directory icon to show up on the desktop like it used too. I
will try searching around for the answer.

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
