Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: iceauth
I am using encrypted home directories with Encfs and libpam-encfs. These
are a Fuse mounted partition.
This works fine, expect I noticed that the Logout/Exit XFCE button on
the panel was failing to work properly when using encrypted home
directory - displayed as a simpler pop-up and doesn't actually shut down
the X session (just the XFCE panel).
I believe that this is due to iceauth failing to start up properly.
Error message in .xsession is:
---
/usr/bin/iceauth: error in locking authority file /home/kriszi/.ICEauthority
** (xfce4-session:5675): WARNING **: Failed to setup the ICE
authentication data, session management might not work properly.
** (xfwm4:5681): WARNING **: The display does not support the XComposite
extension.
** (xfwm4:5681): WARNING **: Compositing manager disabled.
** (xfce4-session:5675): WARNING **: ICE connection 0x8097c88 rejected

If I attempt to start iceauth manually it also fails
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/iceauth -f /home/kriszi/temp
/usr/bin/iceauth: error in locking authority file /home/kriszi/temp
---
but succeeds if I spec a file out of the encrypted mount
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/iceauth -f /tmp/kriszi
/usr/bin/iceauth: creating new authority file /tmp/kriszi
Using authority file /tmp/kriszi
iceauth> quit
---
Drive is mounted as:
---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount
<snip>
encfs on /home/kriszi type fuse
(rw,nosuid,nodev,default_permissions,allow_other,allow_other,user=kriszi)
---
Any suggestions?
Simon.
