[Bug 515138] Re: kded4 (lucid, amd64) defunct on latop

[Chillawowa]

The crash is caused by this script:

/usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-record-passphrase

which is linked to by:

/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/ecryptfs-record-passphrase

What the script does is to check if the user has already written down
the random pass-phrase that was generated for the encrypted HDD. A
simple work-around is to just make the script believe that the user has
already done this. The work-around is creating this file:

sudo touch $HOME/.ecryptfs/.wrapped-passphrase.recorded

It seems the file "/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/ecryptfs-record-
passphrase" is rewritten each time an ACPI (power-related) event is
sent.

BTW. to record your HDD encryption password run:

ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase
