| aquarius | re | 00:36 |
| aquarius | o hai silner :) | 00:36 |
| silner | Hello aquarius | 00:36 |
| aquarius | am just testing ecryptfs. | 00:37 |
| aquarius | I think that ought to work fine: that is, set up an Encrypted Private Directory, as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory, which gives you ~/Private | 00:38 |
| aquarius | then mark ~/.Private (note the dot) as synced with Ubuntu One. | 00:38 |
| aquarius | am just testing the latter part now. | 00:39 |
| silner | That's what we use to encrypt home right? Although I don't do that. I'm only paranoid with other people's data :) | 00:39 |
| aquarius | Right, ecryptfs can also encrypt your entire home folder, but I haven't thought about that for this example; that's more complex and might not work well with U1. (It might work fine, but I'm not prepared to encrypt my home folder in order to test it :)) | 00:40 |
| silner | I don't blame you :) | 00:40 |
| aquarius | OK. I have created an encrypted private directory (~/Private), and I have synced its underlying encrypted folder (~/.Private) with U1, and that seems to have worked fine. | 00:42 |
| aquarius | yep; adding new files to Private happily syncs their encrypted versions to U1 | 00:43 |
| aquarius | obviously, storing encrypted files in U1 means that you miss out on some of the benefits of U1 -- if those files are music, you can't stream them; publishing the files is worthless, etc -- but if you want encrypted files stored in U1, you're already prepared to miss out in that way. | 00:44 |
| aquarius | so, that seems fine to me. | 00:44 |
| silner | That's great. I'll start using that tomorrow. It'll be a lot more automatic for that purpose | 00:44 |
| aquarius | let me be clear: there may be weirdness here that I have not explored and might go wrong :) | 00:44 |
| aquarius | don't put your only copy of a critical file in this setup until you've tested it a bit :) | 00:45 |
| silner | I'd never seen that page you linked. It just goes to show I should read the whole of the manual :) | 00:45 |
| aquarius | In my opinion, this should work fine, though. | 00:45 |
| aquarius | I'll confirm that with verterok (U1) and dustin (ecryptfs) before writing it up :) | 00:46 |
| silner | I supppose I'll have to run a test. Not my usual method, but I better be careful | 00:46 |
| aquarius | *nod* I've often said to people "this method should work fine", but never actually tried it. | 00:46 |
| aquarius | so far it seems OK :) | 00:46 |
| aquarius | so, that was solved nice and easily :0 | 00:48 |
| silner | Thanks for that. I'm grateful | 00:49 |
| * aquarius laughs | 00:49 | |
| aquarius | not a problem. | 00:49 |
| silner | Truecrypt works but it's a bore to use in this context | 00:49 |
| silner | I have to sleep now :) | 00:50 |
| silner | Goodnight | 00:50 |
| aquarius | no worries! thanks :) | 00:54 |
| karni | aquarius: I can't find the bug report, but I think some file names where too long in ~/.Private (at least happened in the encrypted home variant I think) and syncing it with U1 ended up quite bad. Not sure what broke, and I can't find the bug report now, but I've read it was nasty. | 03:16 |
| Chase | I'm having trouble setting up a filelink with Ubuntu One. It tells me there is an error while trying to setup my account. Am I in the right spot to get help or should I be asking in the thunderbird Irc channel | 08:18 |

| aquarius | karni, hm, that's useful info, although worrisome that it happens at all | 08:49 |
| aquarius | Scourking, you are in a good spot to get help, but I'm not sure who'll be around on a Sunday morning :) | 08:49 |
| aquarius | Scourking, I'd help myself but I have to leave in about five minutes to drive my daughter to a dance exam... | 08:49 |
| Scourking | thx im in no rush | 09:17 |
| Scourking | getting ready to go to bed will deal with it monday | 09:17 |

| ScourKing | Hi I need some help with the filelink settings and Ubuntu One. I cant get it to connect and setup the account. I am not sure if I need to be asking here or in the thunderbird channel for help. | 19:06 |
