Encryption using ecryptfs
0
I'm running Kubuntu 18.04. I installed ecryptfs but Private folder is not encrypted. I ran...
sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
Then I ran...
ecryptfs-setup-private
The terminal output looked like this...
I have a .ecryptfs, .Private, and Private folder in /Home. Problem seems to be files don't appear to be encryptd when I save in either.

After logging out & back in, it still wasn't working? How do you know it's not working? Triedecryptfs-mount-private&ecryptfs-umount-private?

I believe it's not working because I see any files I put in the Private folder. I run... sudo ecryptfs-mount-private Enter your login passphrase: Inserted auth tok with sig [1c0e4b08f20b7jf2] into the user session keyring fopen: No such file or directory

Kleopatra shows I am certified Open PGP with a key ID. I click "Signn/Encrypt" and it prompts for passphrased, I enter it but nothing seems to change in my Private folder.

You shouldn't need sudo, it might even cause problems. If there's an error message do paste it into the question (it preserves formatting better than a comment). When logged in doesmountshow anything in your home (mount | grep "$HOME")? And what's the contents of the~/.ecryptfs/folder, and.Private&Privatewhen logged in and not logged in (check with another user account). pgp/gpg's unrelated to ecryptfs, kleopatra might show some keyrings & keys but I'm not too sure about that, it shouldn't directly affect ecryptfs either (as long as you don't delete any keys with it ;-)
