[Ben <ben2talk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I created an encrypted /home/USER directory on installation, and
recorded (for some reason) two phrases, which I dumped on my storage
directory.

Today I decided to write them down and delete the files - so first I
decided to test them. I booted from CD, opened a root nautilus and saw
in my /home/USER directory two links.

Text file shortcut link to : THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA. 
>From the graphical desktop, click on:
 "Access Your Private Data"

or

>From the command line, run:
 ecryptfs-mount-private

I tried in Terminal first:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ecryptfs-mount-private
ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private
ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly

Wow.

Of course, the GUI link gives the same result running normall and as
sudo

 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private
ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly

-- 
Unable to mount ~/Private directory
