Comment 16 for bug 359997

Hi Dustin,

I'm a Ubuntu novice to please be easy on me.

I believe I am having the same issue as described here after inadvertently setting a passphrase and not recording in.

I was in the process of changing my password when this happened so I hope this hasn't made matters worse.

When I restart, I now get

>> Could not update ICEauthority file / home/darren/.ICEauthority
>> There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)
>> Nautilus could not create the following required folders: /home/darren/desktop, / home/darren/.nautilus

I then get the Record your encryption passphrase screen and I enter my logon password and the screen and it sits there.

I'm now left with no desktop. I have accessed the terminal screen to run your suggestions via terminal and i get this

>> keyctl_search: Required key not available
>>Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'

I run it and get

>> Error: Uwrapping passphrase and inserting into the user session keyring failed [-5]
>> Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs
>> Error: Your passphrase is incorrect

I then followed step in #3 above and now get this

>> Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]
>> Info: Check the system log for more information from libecryptfs

and don't know where to go now.

Help please.
