Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

trying to access an encrypted /home/user from a livecd

using virtualbox, I installed jaunty with the "default" encrypted
/home/user option during partitionning.

the install is ok and I access the data both in GUI or in single mode
using the ecryptfs-mount-private as user

Now I boot on a jaunty livecd.
once in the livecd GUI I use a terminal and I set up a chroot

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
chroot /mnt
su user
                           **** FIRST FAILURE ****
                            keyctl_search: Required key not available
cd /home/user
ls /home/user
                         Access....desktop README;txt
ecryptfs-mount-private
                         using default salt value ....
                         inserted auth tok with sig .......................;
                        keyctl_search: required key not available
                       perhaps try ecryptfs-mount-private
cd ~
ls /home/user
                    it is filled with cryptic things (see user.tar attached)

/var/log/messages in user.tar as well
