OpenSUSE Install :: Encrypt Home Directory To Use It "on The Fly" (ubuntu)?

Dec 22, 2010

I am looking for something like Ubuntu does (or claims to do :-) ): encrypt the home folder so that, once done, you can even forget that it ever was encrypted.

I have had a quick look to encfs, and to the KDE "right click menu"; but, when dealing with folders, it seems that they pack them into a single file and then encrypts it (if I have correctly understood).

So, what is the way of encrypting the home folder (and subfolders) as Ubuntu does? (and so that you can completely forget afterwards)

General :: Testing Home Directory Scripts By Setting $HOME To The Location Of The Test Directory

Apr 20, 2010

I have an interdependent collection of scripts in my ~/bin directory as well as a developed ~/.vim directory and some other libraries and such in other subdirectories. I've been versioning all of this using git, and have realized that it would be potentially very easy and useful to do development and testing of new and existing scripts, vim plugins, etc. using a cloned repo, and then pull the working code into my actual home directory with a merge.

The easiest way to do this would seem to be to just change & export $HOME, eg

cd ~/testing; git clone ~ home
export HOME=~/testing/home
cd ~
screen -S testing-home
# start vim, write/revise plugins, edit scripts, etc.
# test revisions

However since I've never tried this before I'm concerned that some programs, environment variables, etc., may end up using my actual home directory instead of the exported one. Is this a viable strategy? Are there just a few outliers that I should be careful about?

Ubuntu Security :: Encrypt Home Folder After Installation?

Feb 11, 2010

I 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?

Ubuntu :: Home Folder Icons Don't Update When Change The Home Directory

Sep 22, 2010

I have a dual-boot macbook with an OS X partition and an ubuntu partition. When I first installed ubuntu, I changed my home folder to my OS X home directory to synchronize all my files from both. My home directory is now /media/sda2/Users/username/. In a regular home folder, the icons for Documents, Music, Pictures, Movies, etc. are different (not just with emblems, but actually different icons). But when I changed my home folder, these subfolders' icons stayed the same as regular folder icons and I can't figure out a way to change that default setting. I know how to change the icons for each folder manually, but these changes don't appear everywhere (i.e. nautilus, places, etc). Furthermore, every time I change my icon theme, I would have to manually reassign icons for these folders. Is there a way to globally change the folder icons for these folders?

Ubuntu Servers :: Set Home Directory Path Different From LDAP's Home?

May 24, 2011

I need to specify a different path to home directories on a particular server than what LDAP contains for the users, besides using a symlink. E.g. "/Users/jdoe" vs "/home/jdoe" I don't want to change the actual LDAP attributes, just want a particular server to point them in the right direction (Ubuntu 10.04).

I'm assuming it's something I could probably set in pam configurations?

Fedora :: Using SSH - Could Not Chdir To Home Directory /home/adahaj: Permission Denied

General :: 'Could Not Chdir To Home Directory /home/[user]: Permission Denied'

Jan 6, 2010

I have a secondary disk which holds a /home directory structure from a previous install of Linux. I installed a new version on a new primary drive and mounted this secondary drive as the new /home. Problem is, even though the users are the same names and I can access the home directories for the users, I cannot login directly to their home directories, as I get the following error: -

Code:

login as: [me]
[me]@[machine]'s password:
Last login: Wed Jan 6 18:34:33 2010 from [machine]
Could not chdir to home directory /home/[me]: Permission denied
[[me]@[machine] /]$

Now, since the usernames are correct and the users are in the passwd file with the correct home directory paths, could it be user ID's that are different or something else? It's not as though I cannot access the home directories for the users, simply that I cannot log directly into them from a login prompt.

General ::anything Special About Home Directory Before Users' Home Directories Are Stored There

Jun 19, 2010

Is there anything special about a home directory before users' home directories are stored there, or is just as typical as any other "empty" folder?Let me just cut to the chase, but please no ear ringing about the folly of messing around as root, particularly with directories at root level. I know it's considered stupidity, but I deleted my home directory.

Is there an easy way to restore a working home directory? I tried copying /etc/skel under root, but I'm not sure what a home directory should look like once it has been restored. Besides . & .., there were .screenrc & .xsession in my home directory when I copied /etc/skel. Are these files suppose to be in "/home" or "/home/~" or both?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Mount Unencrypted Directory To Encrypted Home Directory With Fstab

Aug 26, 2010

I have Ubuntu Karmic. I chose to install with an encrypted home directory. Recently I got a warning that I only had 2GB of drive space left. This is mostly because of my videos. So I went and bought a new hard drive and partitioned it and made 1 ext4 partition and copied my videos all to the new hard drive. I added a line in my fstab to mount the new hard drive to ~/videos, but when I reboot the computer, there is a screen saying something like "error mounting /home/me/videos, press S to skip or something else to reboot". If I press S to skip, then when my system comes up there is a video directory but it's empty because my other hard drive didn't get mounted. I can run sudo mount /dev/sdb video/ and it will mount fine and I can see all my videos, so why can't fstab mount it? Does this have something to do with my encrypted home directory?

Ubuntu :: Junk In Home Directory?

Feb 1, 2010

I recently found an awful lot of junk files in my home directory, mostly in directories that start with a dot e.g. /home/my home/.mozilla So I did cd du -chs .??* and found 3.5 GB. After pruning, I find < 250 MB of files that I have knowingly created.What is happening is that I installed some programs, say xyz , tried them out and decided they were unsatisfactory, deleted them. The un-installer for xyz deletes the actual program but meanwhile xyz has installed lots of config files or status files in /home/my home/.xyz and the un-installer does not delete these. So if you are running short of space or if backups take forever, it might be worthwhile to do the above command or maybe

Ubuntu :: Fix Path To /home Directory ?

Feb 3, 2010

I thought i'd set up the partitions correctly when i installed ubuntu, with a 15 gig "/" partision and a 45 gig "/home" and a 3.8gig "swap"

I was wrong i somehow misplaced the /home partition, and therefore didn't install it

I found this out about 4 days ago as i was running though video tutorial and realized i didnt have it setup correctly afterall

So... i did some research and found this site...[url] and i found something that seemed to work for various people, i deleted the 'now' windows partition and so i had this:

However i unmounted the /home folder following the instructions without realizing that i didnt have permissions to mount the /new home partition as it is not in the extended ubuntu 9.04 linux partition and i have no rights to it

So my question is, how do i fix the path to the /home folder (original) in ubuntu so that i can start over and do this correctly (ie; resize the extended partition and add the /newhoe directory/patition to ubuntu)

I realize that i can use a sudo command before lines to run su commands that are blocked in ubuntu, which is how i screwed up =

I cannot use anything in the menu as all links to programs are dead, i can run the add app, but it cannot install as the install folders are "not there"... i can see them in the terminal so i know my data is there and i can run the live disc to salvage it, but i cannot see it while ubuntu is loaded

Note; i have not restarted the computer and i don't know if this will block ubuntu from restarting either, so i need to fix via terminal, before i can do anything else, like letting the laptop rest.

Ubuntu :: Deleting An Old /home Directory?

Jul 2, 2010

I've followed some instructions on installing a new hard drive on Ubuntu ("Installing a New Hard Drive" and "HOWTO move /home to a new hard drive") and I've now successfully got my new drive working with /home. Everything looks to be in perfect working order.Now I'm wondering how to delete my original /home folder. Running "df -h" still shows 97% usage on my / partition and I'd like to clear out the old /home to free up all that space. I just don't know where these files are now is all.

General :: Ubuntu - Home Directory Be Symlinked?

Feb 10, 2010

I have a second large storage hdd mounted in Ubuntu in /media/storage. I would like my home directories for me and all future users of the system to be located on this storage drive as well.

I was thinking that the easiest way to accomplish this was to move /home to /media/storage/home and then create a symlink so that /home points to /media/storage/home. Would this work okay?

The only reason I ask, is because I know that a users home directory has a lot of special configuration information stored in it, so I didn't know if this would screw up anything on the system.

Are there any better alternative methods to relocating the home directory?
