Title:
  home ecryptfs directory not accessible in X on boot

Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upgrade a notebook with SSD disk and /home/<user> directory in
  ecryptfs, from 12.04 to 14.04. After installation, on each reboot, the
  ecryptfs <user> partition is encrypted mounted when checking in
  console mode (tty[1,2,...,6] but *not* when entering users credentials
  in X greeting window. If, before entering those credentials, we open a
  tty console and run "sudo service lightdm restart" and switch back to
  X greeting windows, all is good.

  In the case of login without restarting lightdm, behaviors are:

  - ls -al shows cached directories created from time of login
  - ls shows a README.TXT symbolic link to /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.txt
  - ls shows a ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop symbolic link to /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop  
  - all files and directories from real <user> encrypted directory are missing

  The disk is one partition

  UUID=9b12bd21-53d4-38f5-c474-674e05cd8d7c /               ext4
  rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0       1
