I checked and it looks like the ecryptfs-util package isn't in Debian 10 anymore, so we're sort of "stranded" by upstream on this issue. It's unfortunate as it means upgrades for people with encrypted home directories won't work. People need to do a backup/restore.dolphin_oracle wrote: Mon May 11, 2020 8:43 pmI can see where that would be irritating.newguy wrote: Mon May 11, 2020 5:27 pm Thanks for the tip on using the profile manager in Mozilla product,s BC206. That will be helpful in the future so I don't need to mess about with profiles.ini files.
Side note, I found another proble when I upgraded my laptop today:
8. MX 19 does not include the ecryptfs software previously found in MX 17. This meant that my encrypted home directory was no longer accessible. I ended up using a rescue disc, using ecrypt_recover_private to mount the encrypted volume, and moving files manually to the new install. Not the end of the world, but an unpleasant surprise when I found MX 19 couldnt' access an encrypted volume a previous version had made.
we removed the ability for ecryptfs in mx18 but the libs were still available. I'm not sure they are in debian 10 anymore. the installer currently uses luks encryption for all encrypting chores.
