Hi Genadi - I'm sorry to hear that you had to spend so much time
figuring this out.
A decision was made that locate will not index files in eCryptfs mounts.
Since eCryptfs encrypts filenames, the locate DB should not be used to
store filenames in plaintext on disk. See bug #372631 for details.
Out of your 3 proposed solutions, #1 won't work due to the the bug
above. #2 and #3, in my opinion, are too intrusive to put into the
installer. Few people have a problem with locate not indexing their
encrypted home and accessing an encrypted home directory from the live
cd is something that ecryptfs-recover-private is meant to address.
I'm marking the mlocate task as invalid since it is behaving as
intended.
** Changed in: mlocate (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
