(Get the code!)
This problem still exists in 13.10.
I have an encrypted home folder.
When I installed the fprint system, it asked me which authentications to tie to fingerprint, and it included ecrypt.
However, when I log in, with or without typing password, at the login screen, it dumps me into a nonresponsive black screen.
This is not a friendly outcome.
If I log in through tty, I am told of the problem and told to try running
ecryptfs-
which takes my normal password and then mounts my home folder. After that, if I kill the gnome-session I can subsequently log in.
In fact, the above sounds like a better workaround than having an external USB? Log in first using tty, do the above sequence, and then return to the GUI login screen.
