I believe I am having the same issue as described here after inadvertently setting a passphrase and not recording in.
I was in the process of changing my password when this happened so I hope this hasn't made matters worse.
When I restart, I now get
>> Could not update ICEauthority file / home/darren/.ICEauthority
>> There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
>> Nautilus could not create the following required folders: /home/darren/desktop, / home/darren/.nautilus
I then get the Record your encryption passphrase screen and I enter my logon password and the screen and it sits there.
I'm now left with no desktop. I have accessed the terminal screen to run your suggestions via terminal and i get this
>> keyctl_search: Required key not available
>>Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'
I run it and get
>> Error: Uwrapping passphrase and inserting into the user session keyring failed [-5]
>> Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
>> Error: Your passphrase is incorrect
I then followed step in #3 above and now get this
>> Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]
>> Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
Hi Dustin,
I'm a Ubuntu novice to please be easy on me.
I believe I am having the same issue as described here after inadvertently setting a passphrase and not recording in.
I was in the process of changing my password when this happened so I hope this hasn't made matters worse.

I run it and get
>> Error: Uwrapping passphrase and inserting into the user session keyring failed [-5]

and don't know where to go now.
Help please.
