I usually use my Linux Mint 15 installation on my PC. I have separate / and /home partitions. /home is encrypted with ecryptfs, which I did not configure myself, I just ticked the encrypt home when installing Mint.I have today installed Debian, with it's own /-partition. I also chose the same /home partition I use on Mint, because I want to share all files in /home between the two. I was hoping that Debian would automatically recognize /home as encrypted with ecryptfs and decrypt it for me with my user password. But it did not. When I log in on Debian I get this error message:Could not update ICEauthority file /home/fridge/.ICEauthority.My only option is to log out.The /etc/fstab entry in Mint does not mention ecryptfs anywhere, /home is just mounted as ext4. That was my first thought, that it would mount in fstab.How do I configure Debian to automatically decrypt /home for me when I log in?EDIT: I belive I misunderstood the problem! Today I started up Debian and instead of logging in through the greeter I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F2 and logged in through the command line. The /home partition was decrypted! Apparently Debian does that for you like Mint. I tried startx but encountered the same problem as I was logging in through the GUI xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/fridge/.Xauthority. Should I close this question now?
Use encrypted /home in fresh Debian created in Mint
