Thanks for the report. Obviously, this is because your home directory is not mounted at the time in which gdm tries to read your .face file.
To solve this, we're going to need to read/write .face to a non- encrypted location. The best place for this is going to be /home/.ecryptfs/$USER. gdm will need to be modified to check this location for .face. And gnome-control-center will need to be modified to write .face to that location too, if it exists. :-Dustin ** Package changed: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) => gdm (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) ** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- login-screen has no user-pictures https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
