I still had problems with an amd64-alternate installer from 2011-08-15. I don't have the installer logs, but it appeared that the installer kernel did not support ecryptfs (not shown in /proc/filesystems) and there was no ecryptfs.ko to be found. When user-setup tried to create the ecryptfs home dir, it naturally failed.
I managed to work around this upon the second attempt by chdir'ing into the target install's /lib/modules directory, and manually insmod'ing the ecryptfs.ko before responding to the debconf question, whether I wanted to encrypt my home directory. That seemed to work ok. However, after rebooting into the new install, lightdm fails to transition to the desktop after entering the password. If I switch to another text mode vty and log in, it mounts my ecryptfs home dir fine, and if I then switch back to lightdm and log in graphically, that also succeeds. So it would appear that lightdm has problems mounting the ecryptfs directory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820460 Title: User not created with encrypted home partition: user-setup exit code 32 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/user-setup/+bug/820460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
