Bug Description

Dear friends,

Upgrade from quantal to raring, encrypted home.

When I try to login via lightdm, I immediately get thrown back to lightdm after a short dark screen. I suppose that this may be a problem lower in the stack and not in lightdm itself but I figured that this was a good place to start the report. And if I'm informed that apport didn't collect the right log files then I can provide them.

Thanks,
Shahar

Can you provide your ~/.xsession-errors file?

I had a similar issues, and mine contained:

  gpg-agent[2807]: Fatal: can't register GNU Pth with Libgcrypt: Not supported

moving .gnupg aside (say `mv ~/.gnupg ~/.gnupg-old') worked around the issue, or reverting libgcrypt11 to 1.5.0-3ubuntu1 both work around the issue for me.

Iain, good timing. It is indeed the same issue. Marked as a dupe.
