This issue has sat with a status of 'Incomplete' for more than four
years now without any response to comment #5 so it is being closed as
'Invalid' as the issue was most probably fixed in another package.

Please feel free to re-open this bug report if this is still an issue
when using a currently supported release of Ubuntu and tell us in which
release you still experience this issue.

Title:
  recovery from ecryptfs encrypted home folders not usable for beginners

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in ecryptfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  It is not easy and straightforward for inexperienced users to recover their own data from a home directory encrypted with ecryptfs using only an Ubuntu 9.10 live CD.
  The average user should be able to access his encrypted data using only the Ubuntu 9.10 live CD, acting as "ubuntu" generic user, with only one click. The only data the user should be asked for is the login password of the home directory the user is accessing to.
  The system should attend to automatically recover the mount passphrase, add it to the kernel keyring. and mount the encrypted home directory.

  Sorry for bad English, I am Italian-only speaking.
