Hi Tomas,

Yes, autologin cannot work if you use ecryptfs. This is because the password must be entered to decrypt the filesystem, and autologin does not prompt for a password.

Is the bug here simply that you have a ~/.ecryptfs but are not using ecryptfs? If so, the solution is to make the check more intelligent. Does anyone know what exactly we need to check for to see if ecryptfs is in use?
