Public bug reported:
This may be the wrong package as I don't see an ecryptfs udeb. Filing
here to start with to have this down at least.
12:20 <Deeps> hi guys, just installed ubuntu server 14.04 lts, during the
install it asked me if i
wanted to encrypt my homedir, which i dutifully agreed too, and
then after that got an
option for partitioning disks and setting up an encrypted lvm. if
this is a single user
system (me), is there any benefit to having an encrypted homedir
if the rest of the system
partition is also encrypted?
12:27 <rbasak> Deeps: one benefit is that nobody can access the data in the
encrypted homedir when it is
not unlocked, for example if nobody is logged in. Probably makes
no difference for a
server. I don't do it, relying on full disk encryption only, on
both desktops and servers.
12:27 <Deeps> rbasak: cool thakns, thats what i thought, and was already
reinstalling it without
encrypted homedir :>
12:29 <rbasak> kirkland: ^^ I wonder if we can avoid prompting for encrypted
homedir on the server ISO?
Seems misleading to me.
12:29 <rbasak> Not sure how we'd achieve that technically mind.
15:01 <kirkland> rbasak: that's fine
15:01 <kirkland> rbasak: you're welcome to patch that out

Title:
Server ISO prompts for user home directory encryption, but this is
useless in the common case
