Per discussion in IRC, this bug is valid, but not easily solvable from the ecryptfs/adduser perspective.
If your home directory already exists, we cannot very well attempt to set it up for encryption at that point. It would take a live migration of any data that might already live in /home/jesse into the encrypted setup. I am working on some a "live migration" mechanism for after-the-fact or dist-upgrading users who decide that they want to encrypt their home directories. But that won't be in the installer. As Colin suggested in IRC, the best thing to do is to detect this situation, and error out appropriately... <cjwatson> so user-setup will need to say "sorry Dave, I can't do that" and then carry on unencrypted, IMO :-Dustin -- user-setup-apply breaks if home directory already exists and encrypted-home selected (?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
