Bug Description
Although the installation procedure asks the user if he would like to encrypt his home folder, no encryption is performed at all.
I tried to manually encrypt the home folder after installation by:
- installing and enabling SSH server
- setting a password for the root user
- rebooting
- logging remotely to the tablet from my laptop
- entering the command "ecryptfs-
but I got the following error message:
INFO: Checking disk space, this may take a few moments. Please be patient.
INFO: Checking for open files in /home/myusername
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() ext4 file system /host
Output information may be incomplete.
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/
Output information may be incomplete.
ERROR: Cannot get ecryptfs version, ecryptfs kernel module not loaded?
I also attempted to load the "ecryptfs" module by entering "modprobe ecryptfs" but it seems like this module has not been compiled in the kernel:
FATAL: Module ecryptfs not found.
