I don't agree with the last comme,nt : I have a fresh install of 18.04
and get the same error when trying to recover my old savec Private
directory :
Enter your MOUNT passphrase:
mount: /tmp/ecryptfs.fSC9TkTG : échec de l’appel système mount(2) : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type.
ERROR: Failed to mount private data at [/tmp/ecryptfs.fSC9TkTG].

Title:
ecryptfs-mount-private fails to initialize ecryptfs keys
Status in ecryptfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
ecryptfs-mount-private fails to mount the ecryptfs after the 1st
reboot after creating the ecryptfs by ecryptfs-setup-private.
After the unsucessful attempt dmesg contains:
[ 1265.695388] Could not find key with description: [<correct key ID>]
[ 1265.695393] process_request_key_err: No key
[ 1265.695394] Could not find valid key in user session keyring for sig specified in mount option: [<correct key ID>]
[ 1265.695395] One or more global auth toks could not properly register; rc = [-2]
[ 1265.695396] Error parsing options; rc = [-2]
Note: The correct key ID has been replaced in the "<correct key ID>".
I also accidentally found an workaround - just running ecrytpfs-
manager and then the ecryptfs-mount-private (it does not ask for
password for the second time and mounts the ecryptfs correctly):
host:~$ ecryptfs-manager
eCryptfs key management menu
-------------------------------
1. Add passphrase key to keyring
2. Add public key to keyring
3. Generate new public/private keypair
4. Exit
Make selection: 4
host:~$ ls Private/
Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop README.txt
host:~$ ecryptfs-mount-private
host:~$ ls Private/
<ecryptfs content is present>
