Whole story: On one laptop, I installed from the mini iso (and chose kubuntu-desktop, the mini iso is the same for all *buntu) and found I couldn't login to KDE fully because it couldn't write configs (rebooted and tried to login multiple times, was driving people #kubuntu-devel nuts trying to figure out if it was KDE's fault because KDE was throwing errors). I logged into the VT and saw that ~ had 500 permissions (while logged in as the only user on there). I did a chmod 700 /home/maco ...and all worked well.
On this laptop, I was trying to figure out why that occurred, and here is where I edited the ecryptfs-setup-private script. The first user I created with adduser --encrypt-home was test3. When that user is not logged in the permissions are 755. When that user is logged in, the permissions are 700. Then after what you said I did some more testing. I commented out the if statement I had added (so back to the original code) and did adduser -- encrypt-home test5. When this user is not logged in, the permissions are 500. When this user is logged in the permissions are 700. -- netboot newuser and ecryptfs fails to login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317895 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
