So how can I enable auto login if my home directory is encrpted?  Do I
have to reinstall Ubuntu?

Title:
  Auto-login does not work with lightdm

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Release from lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:	12.04
   **Note** This is actually Xubuntu, with XFCE 4.8.

  Lightdm Package:
  lightdm:
    Installed: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  
  Attempted asking on launchpad first, this is the post:

  In summary, when I installed I selected to use autologin and it worked
  fine, except that it was using en_GB locale instead of en_US.  Didn't
  know how to change locale at first so I just went to
  Applications>System>Users and Groups and made it ask for a password to
  login.  This allowed me to select locale on login.  I've since changed
  it to automatically use en_US so I tried to turn auto-login back on.
  I at first just clicked the box to no longer ask for a password and it
  didn't work.  It switched to a nosplash view for about a second and
  switched back to the greeter.  Had to log in as a guest and change it
  back to asking for a password so that I could log in.  This is my
  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf output:

  [SeatDefaults]
  user-session=xubuntu
  greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
  autologin-user=justin
  autologin-user-timeout=0

  Just like http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ says.

  This is the only thing that stuck out from /var/log/lightdm.log:

  [+941.41s] WARNING: Could not call SetLanguage:
  GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Acc$

  Syslog only had one thing when I grepped "lightdm":

  Jul 27 07:16:00 justin-Presario-V2000-EZ617UA-ABA lightdm:
  pam_ecryptfs: Passphrase file wrapped

  Thanks in advance!
