[neferty <roman.semko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dustin,

I tried to make a symbolic link $HOME/.ecryptfs -->
/var/lib/ecryptfs/neferty but it seems to not have solved the problem.
When I switch to tty1 before logging in and login with my user, I see the
following message:

keyctl_search: Required key not available
Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'

And as of today, after mounting my home directory manually and logging in, I
get the following window:
========================
Information available
-------------------------------------------
Record your encryption passphrase

To encrypt your home directory or "Private" folder, a strong passphrase has
been autogenerated. Usually your directory is unlocked with your user
password, but if you ever need to manually recover this directory, you will
need this passphrase. Please print or write it down and store it in a safe
location.
You can run the "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase" command now to do this. Enter
your user password at the "Passphrase" prompt.
========================

Maybe it has something to do with the newly created symbolic link from my
home directory. I'll try removing it and see if this window appears again...

Dustin, maybe it has something to do with my password that I have changed
while this problem appeared? I still have to enter my OLD password my
running ecryptfs-mount-private (but am logging in with my NEW password).
What do you think?

Encrypted Private Directory Not Mounted at Logon

You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs,

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

When logging in, a user's encrypted private directory is no longer automatically mounted.

As a workaround, ecryptfs-mount-private works to mount the directory. If user's entire home directory is encrypted, this is a pretty big issue as user must drop to tty at GDM to mount the directory before returning to graphical logon and proceeding to log in to session.
