It never really looked that much better, and is unimportant now that gdm isn't even the default DM any more. * Drop 40_one_lang_option_per_translation.patch: gdm does not show a language

[Bug 753707] Re: gdm autologin does not work in Natty if ecryptfs is used
Hi Tomas, Yes, autologin cannot work if you use ecryptfs. This is because the password must be entered to decrypt the filesystem, and autologin does not prompt for a password. Is the bug here simply that you have a ~/.ecryptfs but are not using ecryptfs? If so, the solution is to make the check more intelligent. Does anyone know what exactly we need to check for to see if ecryptfs is in use? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Robert Ancell (robert-ancell) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/753707 Title: gdm autologin does not work in Natty if ecryptfs is used -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 753707] Re: gdm autologin does not work in Natty if ecryptfs is used
Hi Roert, I know it cannot work if you encrypt your whole $HOME directory, but there is no reason it should not work if you have only one encrypted directory (Private it is called, I am not sure now whether it is the default or my name) in your otherwise unencrypted directory. It worked in Maverick after all. So I think the bug is that assumption that .encryptfs means encrypted $HOME directory is invalid. Therefore, the check should be more intelligent, but I have no idea how to do that:-). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/753707 Title: gdm autologin does not work in Natty if ecryptfs is used -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think I nailed it down. I have a ecryptfs directory from previous install (I installed natty from a USB stick but preserved my home directory).
