The code for this actually got put into oneiric's gnome-control-center. But due to a miscommunication, the required ecryptfs-verify never got a FFe filed for it and never got into oneiric.
So I think the easiest solution is to SRU ecryptfs-verify from precise into oneiric. Looking into that now. ** Package changed: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) => ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576133 Title: Shouldn't allow autologin for ecryptfs users Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils When setting up a new user, if you choose to both encrypt the home directory and automatically logon this prevents the account from being used. I.E when trying to logon you get errors such as "cannot update .ICEauthority", "can't create Nautilus directories" etc. eventually resulting in a blank desktop and having to do a forced reboot. IMO, the two options should be mutually exclusive anyway as encrypting your ~/ is utterly pointless with a passwordless logon. At the very least, there should be some kind of warning (e.g. "Don't be an idiot" :) ). Using a fully up-to-date install of Ubuntu 10.04.
