The init script kicks in right after "mounting local filesystems" (update-rc.d ramdisk.sh start 35 S .)This all works very nice ... if i shutdown my pc everything is synched to disk....<br /><br />Then i started to do what i did to my /usr dir to my /home dir too ... everything works but my /home directory is still encrypted and i can't decrypt it anymore. Even if i do the steps in ecryptfs-mount-private manualy. There is no error message which could give me an hint. So maybe you can help me here a bit... <br /><br />Thanks in advance ... chrissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-91009536136981419602009-08-12T10:44:16.250-05:002009-08-12T10:44:16.250-05:00After running ecryptfs-setup-private I found I had...After running ecryptfs-setup-private I found I had to run "pam-auth-update --force" to get ecryptfs to automount (to get it into the /etc/pam.d/* config files). <br /><br />Running pam-auth-update by itself complained that there were local modifications to /etc/pam.d/common-* so I had to use --force ... I can't quite remember but I may have been monkeying around with pam.d trying to get my finger print reader to work a long time ago...Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425607607528389489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-37044462401785284782009-08-07T11:36:03.813-05:002009-08-07T11:36:03.813-05:00Great, thanks!

(I installed my 9.04 with the "encrypt home folder flag" enabled in the installer as you show in an earlier post. Everything worked fine for months now...)<br />Regards, Kevin.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866584474026067411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-3242924912494391582009-08-07T11:09:32.399-05:002009-08-07T11:09:32.399-05:00@Kevin-

Could you please ...Hi Dustin, thanks for this post.<br />Could you please explain the above block of commands for Ubuntu 9.04 users a bit? More specifically, I do not have a ~/.Private as long as my encrypted home folder is mounted. So some of the commands will not do anything. Is this okay?<br />Sorry for being chicken-hearted, but I do not want to brake my by now perfect setup.<br />Thanks again, Kevin.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866584474026067411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822757291061444396.post-11520649769451363532009-08-07T04:37:27.816-05:002009-08-07T04:37:27.816-05:00Great.
