View 9 Replies View RelatedI chose the option to encrypt my home folder during installation, but I don't want it encrypted anymore since that makes it impossible to access any files in my home folder unless I'm logged in as that user.
I'm really hoping to avoid reinstalling from scratch just to fix this. Anyone know how to do it?
BTW, it's Ubuntu Server 11.04 32-bit.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Ubuntu Jaunty (I do not like Karmic, please don't try to make me upgrade) and after installing all my programs I realized I did not encrypt my home directory.
I know it's very simple to do this during the installation but I can't seem to find an option to do it after it.
Is there a way to do this?
Have installed seahorse, gpg works otherwise, but the encrypt/ decrypt in the nautilus menu are still not present.
Anybody seen this? How to get the encrypt decrypt function into the nautilus again.
I'm trying to setup vi to automatically encrypt/decrypt .pgp and .asc files. The encryption part works. If I "vi testfile.gpg" it will auto encrypt it on save.
However when I try and vi the encrypted file it does not prompt me for my pass phrase. I just get this:

I was wondering if any free, small, portable, cross platform programme exists for encrypting/decrpyitng simple txt files?
I know a couple of small ones for windows systems (nosee, dscrypt) but i wonder if there is any i could use on both linux and windows OS. the idea is to be able to carry it on USB key and the programme (or probably there will have to be 2 versions of it) would run either on windows or linux os and i could decrypt and encrypt the file if i needed to. no matter on what system i plug the USB key to.
I want to be able to encrypt files on my netbook with Ubuntu 9.04 UNR and on my MacBook (Mac OS 10.6.2) and be able to exchange them and decrypt them on the other platform.The Ubuntu command Edit>Encrypt is so easy to use but works only on the netbook. I haven't, thus far, found a program to open them on the Mac or to create an encrypted file on the Mac that I can open on the netbook.

Could not make folder /home/theif519/.local/share/Trash
Deletion of files is necessary. I have installed libtrash hoping it'd work, but it didn't, I even did chmod 755 like it suggested I do. What do I do?
I am planning to install Debian amd64 and i386 in the same USB HDD to boot both types of PCs.
Unfortunately, there is not enough space for the home folder, so can I share the home folder with two systems. And how about swap area and /tmp folder?
im gonna do a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 and want to make a separate partition for the home folder.

View 4 Replies View RelatedInstalled Ubuntu along with Debian on my Notebook and use Grub Manager to choose between them on startup. Since i like Debian now a lot (in past days it was a very hard system to handle, but there has been some progress i noticed), i have to change some things (want Debian as main system now) For Ubuntu i have: (was meant to be main system on Notebook) "/", "/home" and a "swap" partition, but since i am now going to use mainly Debian, i wanted to store my files all in the "/home"-folder of my extended Ubuntu partition (has much more space available) not in the "/home" folder of the Debian system. So i want both (Debian and Ubuntu) to use the same extended partition ("/home") which i created for Ubuntu to save their files like downloads, videos, and so on.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a script that crond runs each night. The script pulls some sensitive files from an SFTP server and stores them in a folder on the local machine.I need to encrypt those files on the filesystem. Ideally, I could encrypt the folder they're stored in to require a password whenever the files are accessed. The problem is that then crond wouldn't be able to access the files. Using something like ecryptfs would allow the cron script to mount the encrypted storage by supplying the password, but now the keys to the kingdom are just sitting in a cron shell script.
Is there a good way to approach this? One thought I had was finding a tool that lets cron encrypt the files using a public key, then require a password to decrypt them (silently using the password to access the related private key)I don't want too much complexity on the decryption side, because I will have relatively non-tech people needing to access those files occasionally.
I recently installed Ubuntu Linux and did not encrypt the home directory during the install. Now I want to encrypt my home directory, or even better the whole hard drive.
