Ok, I think I could fix the issue for me now. The ecryptfs modules were missing in /etc/pam.d due to a modification of some of these files I made ages ago. After checking twice that I wouldn't need those changes anymore, the following command fixed it for me: --- pam-auth-update --force ---
Most blog posts just assume that ecryptfs is set up correctly in pam.d and googling for the ICEAuthority error message did not give any useful results. Just one blog post (which was not mentioning ICEAuthority) got me on the right track as it explicitly mentioned the configuration of pam.d. And trying to reinstall ecryptfs-utils then confirmed the PAM issues with the following error message: --- pam-auth-update: Local modifications to /etc/pam.d/common-*, not updating. pam-auth-update: Run pam-auth-update --force to override. --- Maybe some sanity checks, maybe even a call to "pam-auth-update --package ecryptfs-utils", could be added to ecrypts-migrate-home before doing any changes to the home directory? For some people being locked out of their X session could be scary even though ecryptfs-migrate-home makes a backup and this lock-out could have been prevented. Cheers, Linus PS: Despite from this pam issue ecryptfs-migrate-home worked flawlessly, thanks for this great script and ecryptfs in general! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
