Jeremy, I apologize for the handling of this bug. Ubuntu 18.04 no longer includes an encrypted home option in the installer and ecryptfs-utils is being demoted to universe. See LP: #1756840
Once ecryptfs-utils is in universe, packages in main (like accountsservice and gnome-control-center) can't depend on it. My understanding is that Canonical Security would eventually like to offer ext4 based encryption for home directories, but that feature won't be implemented in time for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I also understand that Pop!_OS is switching to promoting full disk encryption in its 18.04 release. Once again, I apologize that your patches weren't reviewed more promptly and helpfully. I hope that we Ubuntu developers will do better next time you propose patches. Feel free to discuss proposed desktop-related patches with the Ubuntu Desktop team. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699216 Title: Encrypted home support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1699216/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
