Hmm, okay, in my testing, I'm using a system password of "foo%bar", with "%" being the questionable character.
In my experience, the password check step will fail, until the "%" is escaped by entering "foo%%bar". At this point, it succeeds and works properly. I tested with password foo"bar, which worked fine. :-Dustin -- ecryptfs-setup-private accepts but cannot add to keyring a mount passphrase containing some characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.
