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
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 will need to have the USB (or removeable media) insert to the system
during login process

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

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

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
