[Brian Murray]

For what its worth checking all other open ubiquity bug log files I
don't find this error, "Cannot find ecryptfs version" anywhere.

Title:
  Encryped home directory selected but not encrypted

Status in “user-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing oneiric on a new netbook last week, I selected the
  encrypted home directory option.

  Just yesterday, I needed to boot in recovery mode and use a
  root+network shell, and was surprised to see my home directory
  unencrypted. Checking /var/log/installer/syslog shows:

  Aug 20 01:42:18 ubuntu user-setup: WARNING: Commented out your unencrypted swap from /etc/fstab

  Aug 20 01:42:20 ubuntu user-setup: Adding group `sambashare' (GID 122) ...

  ER: That either my home directory would be encrypted or I'd be notified that it wasn't possible at this time.
  AR: My home directory is left unencrypted without notifying me (or maybe I missed it!?)

  (NOTE: I used `ubuntu-bug ubiquity` before realising that user-setup
  is probably the more appropriate pkg, so let me know if you need other
  logs etc.)
