Bug Description
Since upgrading to lunar (at least, that could have happened before in 22.10 but I didn't notice) encrypted home does not work anymore: the home directory shows the lower fs, and not the upper, handled by ecryptfs.
i.e.: the /home/user is mounted as ecryptfs as it should be, but what that directory is the normal one, that any user can access (if with privileges, like root), and hence nothing is encrypted anymore.
The home directory shows the .ecryptfs and .Private folders.
The biggest problem is that a user using it in previous versions would think that its home is still encrypted while in reality it isn't anymore, without any notice.
| summary: |
- encrypted home doesn't work anymore on a new lunar installation + encrypted home doesn't work anymore on ubuntu 23.04 lunar |
