[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account
Hi, In fact, I use the USB method as a workaround. Nevertheless, it doesn't solve the problem because you must have it connected. If you keep it connected all the time, it is a security risk because the paraphrase to unencrypt the home folder is there. So makes it kind of inconvenient, and to plug the USB on every login is not really the optimal solution. What TJ (tj) said sound like a possible solution. @semidark if what are you asking is too disable decrypt in the login, is not possible. The encryption is set when creating the user, you can decide to not encrypt the home folder and you won't have this trouble. Or if you already have the home folder encrypted, you could decrypt it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account
since I like the functionality of the fingerprint-gui even if I can't decrypt my Home at login, it would be good to have a configuration to disable the functionality in the Login Screen (lightdm) but keep it in the other authentification dialogs (screensaver, sudo and so on) Would this be possible? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am using 13.04 with the fingerprint-gui 1.05 (from https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fingerprint-gui) At the last step of the fingerprint password creation, you will need a removable media to store the password, which will solve this issue.

[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account
Seeing this also with Precise and a Dell XPS m1530. I've been thinking of how we could get around the problem without a kludge. It occurs to be that the authenticated fingerprint could issue a unique hash that could be used by ecryptfs as a second passphrase - rather like cryptsetup with LUKS can have multiple key slots for the same protected volume. I need to dig into ecryptfs to find out if this would be possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account
I have not tried to store the key on another partition. I fact i removed the fingerprint functionality, for it is too buggy at the moment. Fingerprints are not recognised a lot of times. Only one scan per finger as reference causes this i suspect. Also it crashed several times and caused a white block in the bottom half of the screen. The graphics of the interface are also outdated and not in the same style of Ubuntu. Thats why i disabled it again. Maybe in the future i will try again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account
In the fingerprint GUI you will have to store your password on an external device (only USB works in my case. Memory Card is not seen as an external device sadly). After you have saved it to an USB stick i can login to an encrypted home dir. The stick will always have to be plugged for login into an encrypted home directory.

[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account
According to Gilles (http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing- Lists/Ubuntu/2012-05/msg00053.html) There are 2 issues at hand, here... 1) The .fprint directory, which stores the fingerprint database of a user, is stored in the encrypted home directory. So is not available to the greeter application to recognize prints. This is what causes the "Could not locate any suitable fingerprints matched with available hardware" message on the login prompt. 2) If you decide to copy these files to /home/YourUser from a command line, without the encrypted home there, then you can actually login from the greeter session, with recognized prints. But then a second phenomenon appears. Since you didn't type your password, there is nothing to unlock your home directory encryption key... which means it doesn't get decrypted... which means you get kicked out of your session immediately as no configuration files are available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login in ubuntu 12.04 can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
