Hello
I have encrypted my home folder during installation of Ubuntu 11.04 and are now testing whether I via live CD can "recover" my files in home folder.
I open terminal and write:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo ecryptfs-recover-private
INFO: Searching for encrypted private directories (this might take a while)...
INFO: Found [/media/e7d575a1-be3d-4675-a042-505461e7392f/home/.ecryptfs/dragonbook/.Private].
Try to recover this directory? [Y/n]: y
INFO: Enter your LOGIN passphrase...
Passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] into the user session keyring
INFO: Success! Private data mounted read-only at [/tmp/ecryptfs.iV6aErKB]. I go into the folder / tmp/ecryptfs.iV6aErKB But I cannot access.
I suppose it has something with "Inserted auth tok with sig [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Into the user session keyring" to do. (note that sig is replacing the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
Someone who knows what I need to do to be able to see my files.
::: NOTE I can easily get to my files by booting up into Ubuntu normally. I merely try to come to my encrypted files via live CD to test whether it works (always nice to know if anything happens).
