Authentication with thinkfinger stalls login when user homes are encrypted

You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs,

Status in eCryptfs - Enterprise Cryptographic Filesystem: Confirmed
Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “pam” source package in Ubuntu: New
Bug description:
When authenticating to the system with thinkfinger, the user encrypted home
directories are not automatically mounted. Even though this makes total sense,
since you will need to supply the password to unlock the encryption key. Having
said this, the user should be prompted for the password in case if he/she is
authenticated using thinkfinger or similar method. What happens now is when
login to gdm using finger swipe, gdm starts loading and nothing happens. No
message/warning is displayed. The user just sits there starring at a black
screen :-)
