You have been subscribed to a public bug: I have an encrypted partition on my hard disc (/dev/sda6, which is not the home-dir partition, but simply an additional private region of my HD). When I log in, gnome-hal (?) asks me for the password, then hangs if the passwd is correct. To correct this I added /dev/sda6 in /etc/pmount.allow, but now the mounted partition appears as /media/usbdisk, which is incoherent (It should be named sda6 at least)
If I press on cancel in the passwd box, everything goes on well, and I can mount my partition with pmount from a term, passing a correct label as argument. Once mounted, this partition cannot be umounted using the disk applet, which complains that 'you are not root'. It can be umounted with pumount without any problem (and without sudo) ** Affects: gnome-volume-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Paul Dufresne Status: Incomplete -- gnome-hal fails to handle encrypted HD partition correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48196 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
