[Bug 1817689] Re: [16.04.6 Desktop] Cannot log in after installation with encrypted home enabled

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected,

Accepted user-setup into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/user-
setup/1.63ubuntu4.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.6 20190222

  Test Case
  Do an entire disk installation and on the 'Who are you' page select "encrypt home", reboot and log in from lightdm

  Actual Result
  The log in is rejected. There are permission denied in the logs (journal attached)

  This is a *regression* in 16.04.6. It works fine on 16.04.5.

  The following message appears in the logs:
  """"
  user-setup: Error: Your kernel does not support filename encryption
  user-setup: ERROR:  Could not add passphrase to the current keyring
  user-setup: adduser: `/usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-private -b -u u' returned error code 1. Exiting.
  """"

  This is with kernel 4.15.0-45-generic
  16.04.5 uses kernel 4.15.0-29-generic
