That's right, there should definitely be something to prevent you from enabling auto-login if home is encrypted. The way things are now, it's outright dangerous, for noobs especially. If you check the field, you end up with an unusable setup, unless you find out somehow
As to whether or not this is a bug, when I initially reported this, I assumed that I had only LVM encryption, not an encrypted home dir. In a setup like that, it wouldn't compromise security to have autologin - because you can't even boot without knowing the passphrase. But since it turned out that I had unwittingly encrypted my home dir in ADDITION to the LVM encryption, I can't tell whether the bug actually exists in the form that I described in the original report. We'd need somebody with an LVM encrypted system without additional home dir encryption to test this. I don't know which package we should file this for unfortunately. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368061 Title: auto-login won't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/368061/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
