Just a quick update on my end. This also addresses @Xavier Gnata's question here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs- utils/+bug/1756840/comments/3
> Ok but what am I supposed to do on a dual boot machine?? I'm writing this all from memory. I did this a long time ago. My solution is as follows on a Dual Boot machine. Assume you have Windows on the machine. 1. Use Windows disk tools to make some space for Linux--ex: 120 GB of a 500 GB drive. 2. Fully encrypt Windows with Veracrypt. It is awesome and can do full partition encryption for your Windows partition, even while Windows is running! This might help: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/6169/use-truecrypt-to-secure-your-data/. 2. Install Ubuntu 20.04 with LUKS volume encryption. You have to choose the "do something else" option when installing, and then you have to *manually* make an encrypted LUKS container. Inside that, you then install Ubuntu. Done! Now, when I boot, I get the Linux grub bootloader thing. If I choose Windows, I have to unlock the disk via a VeraCrypt unlock screen that pops up *before* Windows can even begin to boot. If I choose Ubuntu, it's similar: I have to decrypt the LUKS encryption on the screen that pops up *before* Ubuntu even begins to boot. Works great. No more need for ecryptfs anymore in my particular case. Note that on the Ubuntu option, I also make a big swapfile, as I describe here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/927854/how-do-i-increase- the-size-of-swapfile-without-removing-it-in-the- terminal/1177620#1177620. This is in place of a swap *partition*. The swapfile has the advantage of being *within* the LUKS-encrypted volume, so it gets encrypted too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756840 Title: Buggy, under-maintained, not fit for main anymore; alternatives exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1756840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
