I think this is because: - the home directory is in some way encrypted with your password and when you log in, it gets decrypted - when you change your password as root, the decryption-passphrase doesnt get changed to fit the new password because you do it as root - your new password then doesnt work with the old passphrase
i do not know if it is a problem, when you change your password in the "normal" way greetz -- encrypted home directory doesn't mount after password change https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
