I created an encrypted /home/USER directory on installation, and recorded (for some reason) two phrases, which I dumped on my storage directory.
Today I decided to write them down and delete the files - so first I decided to test them. I booted from CD, opened a root nautilus and saw in my /home/USER directory two links. Text file shortcut link to : THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA. >From the graphical desktop, click on: "Access Your Private Data" or >From the command line, run: ecryptfs-mount-private I tried in Terminal first: ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ecryptfs-mount-private ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly ubu...@ubuntu:~$ /usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly Wow. Of course, the GUI link gives the same result running normall and as sudo ubu...@ubuntu:~$ /usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly -- Unable to mount ~/Private directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu.
