    Re: Cannot decrypt access-your-private-data.desktop

    ecryptfs is funny this way.

    In the terminal, cd in to your home directory (I know you are already there)

    Code:
    cd
    ls
    From the live CD you can access your data as outlined on my blog (helps if you read it as I am repeating the same information here ).
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    If that did not work you are out of luck as I do not see any error or unexpected messages either.

    I am sorry you are having a problem, but encryption is the latest greatest.

    The one downside is that it makes data recovery that much more difficult so if you use encryption you need a backup strategy.

    Just run ecryptfs-mount-private and enter your log in password.

    See : http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs#Live
    old thread but it helped me.

    Had the same problem. I ran sudo ecryptfs-recover-private entered the password i used for encrypting and then wala everything was in /tmp/ecryptfs.vafhmelhe

    Thank you all!
