I have exactly the same problem as the reporter of this problem (running Xubuntu 8.10 with the latest updates). I did the following:
1) Changed password using the "Users Settings" dialog 2) Rebooted 3) Logged in as the same user with the new password 4) Discovered that there is no directory ~/Private When I tried to mount it manually, that is by running "mount.ecryptfs_private", I got the folowing error: keyctl_search: Required key not available The only way I have been able to get into the ~/Private directory is by changing the password back to what it was originally. eboy PS In my opinion this is a bug with utmost priority, because it concerns data loss (at least as perceived by the average user) in the stable Xubuntu distribution. -- ecryptfs-utils does not handle changing password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283477 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
