automount and manual mount encryptfs fail - how do I get back my ./Private directory
os - 9.04 all updates applied; 9.04 was a successful and uneventful upgrade from 8.10
User password changed using control-center.
reboot and login successful
./Private locked
mount.ecryptfs_
ecryptfs-
reboot and login successful
./Private required manual mount again
ecryptfs-
reboot and login successful
completely unable to access ./Private using any command or password
If I do ecryptfs-
and enter the password I expect to use, I see the unwrapped password on stdout which matches the password I enter for my login password
A clean reboot shows the following in syslog:
...

and
colby@venice:
colby@venice:~$ mount.ecryptfs_
keyctl_search: Required key not available
Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-
THEN:
colby@venice:~$ ecryptfs-
Enter your login passphrase:
