[opensuse] Disable encrypted home
Hello to everyone. One day I decide to encrypt my home partition at work. I read on opensuse Wiki, that opensuse uses LUKS. But then I find information that I can use a YaST to encrypt. I opened YaST -> Users managment -> choose my user and checked 'Use encrypted home directory', I wrote password and ok. Now in terminal everytime when I want to use sudo command i get 'pam_mount password' instead of 'root password'. Now I do not want to use this option. I Log in into root account, open YaST, choose 'Users Managment' and choose my users. When I unchecked this option and choose 'write changes now', there is a problem, that 'image cannot be open' (there is some user.img at /home directory). So my question is how can I disable this option ? (I am using openSUSE 13.1). -- M.M -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You either use encrypted homes or not. It isn't an option you should alter afterward. Seriously: if your (encrypted) home is full with all sorts of things, and you should desire to use an un-encrypted home, the system should be able to "keep somewhere" your data, while rebuilding the encrypted area. Only option is to make another user (with unencrypted home) and move everything over there. And delete the encrypted-user. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You cannot "disable" encrypted home.. allowing "disable" will defeat its purpose.. what you need to do is backup , format the partition, restore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
