[Bug 1066225] Re: encrypt home folder needs to be checkbox not radio button

[Rick Timmis]

I've been giving this some thought:

Under nix law each user account  must have a password, whether or not
automatic login is enabled.

Whilst it seems illogical to Encrypt /home when automatic login takes
place, there are use cases where an Encrypted /home despite Autologin
makes sense, perhaps where /home is on a separate device.

To clarify perhaps creating a line of separation between "Require my
password to login" - "Log in automatically", with additional text
"Secure my Documents, Information and Data"

Remember, some windows users will not know what "home folder" is. I know
that sounds crazy, but it's true. They think it's "My Documents". I'm
pitching for the lowest common denominator here.

Finally thinking about said lowest common denominator, would it help
install simplicity if the default was "Encrypted, Require Password
Login" and these questions hidden behind and Advanced >  section ?

Title:
  encrypt home folder needs to be checkbox not radio button

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  the page in the kubuntu installer with the option to auto-login or
  require password to log-in has "encript my home folder" as a separate
  radio button instead of a checkbox like normal ubiquity. if this is
  not a bug it needs rewording. the radio button labelled encript my
  home folder needs to be replaced with a checkbox that says the same
  thing.
