Right so disabling automount is perhaps useful on a tty or ssh, where a shell can tolerate a read-only, empty home directory (albeit with degraded functionality).
Gnome, however, really, really dislikes an empty, readonly home directory. I'll add a task, and change the title of the bug accordingly, and leave it to a Gnome developer to tell us if it's possible for Gnome to allow a user to login with an empty and readonly home directory (perhaps pointing Gnome to some stock template). ** Package changed: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) => meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - ecryptfs: disabling auto-mount diables gdm login + gnome dislikes a readonly, empty home directory -- gnome dislikes a readonly, empty home directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460476 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
