Today I was upgrading my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, virtual machine, and it seems like one of the upgraded packages broke the auto mounted encrypted home mounts. Here are some of the possible upgrades that might have broken things:
[snip] 2010-06-20 20:36:52 configure libkrb5support0 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 2010-06-20 20:36:52 configure libk5crypto3 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 2010-06-20 20:36:52 configure libkrb5-3 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 2010-06-20 20:36:52 configure libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 1.8.1+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1 2010-06-20 20:36:54 configure gnome-keyring 2.92.92.is.2.30.1-0ubuntu2 2.92.92.is.2.30.1-0ubuntu2 2010-06-20 20:36:54 configure libpam-gnome-keyring 2.92.92.is.2.30.1-0ubuntu2 2.92.92.is.2.30.1-0ubuntu2 [snip]
I was able to fix it, by making a link:
cd $HOME sudo ln -s $HOME/.Private $HOME/Private
With this fix, if I ssh in it seemed to fix the automatic mount, even without other sessions logged into the system.
EDIT: This does not seem to fix the situation after a reboot. I think it has to do with permissions of something, but still looking into it. After sudoing a command, it seems future ssh attempts mount the ecrypted home.
