So we cannot encrypt our home directory the old way in Ubuntu 18.04, and we cannot encrypt home the new (fscrypt) way as adviced in the release notes.
Not everyone agrees that encrypting the entire disk is the best choice. Industrial progress has increased battery life and decreased power usage, but that doesn't mean we can waste these improvements on encrypting all our publicly available software just so our documents can remain private. fscrypt sounds like a great improvement over fuse ecryptfs; but apparently there are two critical bugs. I'd consider Ubuntu 18.04 finished when there's a user-friendly GUI/installer option to "encrypt (only) home". Is there a popularity contest somewhere where my colleagues and I can vote or otherwise help raise awareness for the preference to have fscrypt-type home encryption work from the installer as easily as the old home encryption used to work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768340 Title: fscrypt does not work for home directory encryption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fscrypt/+bug/1768340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
