Watershed installation didn't help.... a bit nicer workaround than Pete's, but following the same line of thought (assumes you use gdm):
1 first comment-out your home partition on fstab 2 add the following lines at the top of "/etc/gdm/Init/Default" (right after the shebang line): zenity --entry --hide-text --text="Enter your passphrase:" | cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda6 cryptohome #adjust for your setup mount /dev/mapper/cryptohome /home thats it! once GDM starts, you will be prompted for your passphrase. You enter it, and your home partition is mounted for you. You can then proceed to login normally. NOTE: This is a very raw solution. if you mistype your passphrase, you will have to reboot to get a new prompt...feel free to improve... -- passphrase for encrypted home partition not being read https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484272 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
