Dustin, thanks again. There have never been any settings in my ~/Private, I just copied some data there to test it. Now I emptied it completely, but logging in to Xfce is still impossible when I delete the two auto-[u]mount files. Code: ~/Private$ ls -a . .. when it is mounted - which means there is really no data at all, am I right?
To be more precise: There was an old backup of a home folder from Jaunty Beta, named home_beta or so; I copied that to Private. But I never pointed any software there. Now I've moved it away. Maybe there was a problem with links inside the old home folder? I removed one to the general examples folder, but that did not change anything. -- pam_ecryptfs should respect ~/.ecryptfs/auto-[u]mount files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils >From user feedback on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory >wiki page... * "I hope there will also be an option for the ~/Private directory to ''not'' be mounted at login" Additionally, it would be nice to allow a user to "not unmount" ~/Private automatically on logout. The hooks are already in place in ecryptfs-setup-private to create the ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount and ~/.ecryptfs/auto-umount files. We simply need to teach pam_ecryptfs to respect that configuration. :-Dustin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
