[Bug 284443] Re: Encrypted Private Directory is not automatically mounted when using gdm auto-login
Martin, Is there anything we can do on the desktop side, to keep people from choosing auto login if their system is setup for encrypted home? That's easy enough to test. Just look for ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284443 Title: Encrypted Private Directory is not automatically mounted when using gdm auto-login -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 284443] Re: Encrypted Private Directory is not automatically mounted when using gdm auto-login
Its a logical contradiction, mate. If you choose to have encrypted folder, you want security. If you want autologin, you dont give a s**t about security. Anyways, for decrypting the folder, YOU NEED THE PASSWORD, which must be supplied one way or another. So think about it.

Confirmed for Maverick! Probably you may wish to rethink your opinion /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow ecryptfs behaves absolutely in correct manner, as it as it has to interpret this action as an attempted burglary. Not really much more to add exept that it has cost a few hours of my lifespan to settle this matter within the given opportunities to recover data and avoid reinstall - as many fresh users would take this option as 1st prefered choice.

I don't think it makes sense at all in gdm: - You do not actually see gdm if you have autologin enabled. - Once you installed your system that way, the damage is done. IMHO it should be pointed out right at the place when the user can still do something about it to not break it: The autologin and ecryptfs options should mutually exclude themselves in the installer. Ideally, if you create an ecryptfs with command line tools in an installed system, it would point out that it doesn't work with autologin, but that would encode gdm specific knowledge into the scripts, so we should avoid that. It could just generally tell the user about it. But it is totally doable in the installer. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Encrypted Private Directory is not automatically mounted when using gdm auto-login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284443 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 284443] Re: Encrypted Private Directory is not automatically mounted when using gdm auto-login
Okay, per discussion with pitti in IRC, I think the proper solution would involve: * changing the symlink in an un-mounted ~/Private directory to point to a wrapper script, instead of /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private * having that wrapper script: * first try to perform the mount * if the required key is not found * Explain the situation * Prompt for the password using gksu/zenity/kdesu * Perform the mount This is Jaunty material, and will probably involve assistance from the desktop folks. :-Dustin -- Encrypted Private Directory is not automatically mounted when using gdm auto-login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284443 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
