Is /home/$user actually empty? Are you sure that you're creating a new user? Or are you perhaps trying to add a user that already exists? Or has a home directory that already exists? You might need to delete the existing user, and/or remove the home directory. :-Dusitn -- getting error report while setting up new user with "adduser --encrypt-home" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.
