[00:35] brb [00:36] re [00:36] o hai silner :) [00:36] Hello aquarius [00:37] am just testing ecryptfs. [00:38] 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] then mark ~/.Private (note the dot) as synced with Ubuntu One. [00:39] am just testing the latter part now. [00:39] That's what we use to encrypt home right? Although I don't do that. I'm only paranoid with other people's data :) [00:40] 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] I don't blame you :) [00:42] 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. [00:43] yep; adding new files to Private happily syncs their encrypted versions to U1 [00:44] 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] so, that seems fine to me. [00:44] That's great. I'll start using that tomorrow. It'll be a lot more automatic for that purpose [00:44] let me be clear: there may be weirdness here that I have not explored and might go wrong :) [00:45] don't put your only copy of a critical file in this setup until you've tested it a bit :) [00:45] I'd never seen that page you linked. It just goes to show I should read the whole of the manual :) [00:45] In my opinion, this should work fine, though. [00:46] I'll confirm that with verterok (U1) and dustin (ecryptfs) before writing it up :) [00:46] I supppose I'll have to run a test. Not my usual method, but I better be careful [00:46] *nod* I've often said to people "this method should work fine", but never actually tried it. [00:46] so far it seems OK :) [00:48] so, that was solved nice and easily :0 [00:49] Thanks for that. I'm grateful [00:49] * aquarius laughs [00:49] not a problem. [00:49] Truecrypt works but it's a bore to use in this context [00:50] I have to sleep now :) [00:50] Goodnight [00:54] no worries! thanks :) [03:16] 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. [08:18] 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 === Chase is now known as Scourking [08:49] karni, hm, that's useful info, although worrisome that it happens at all [08:49] 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] Scourking, I'd help myself but I have to leave in about five minutes to drive my daughter to a dance exam... [09:17] thx im in no rush [09:17] getting ready to go to bed will deal with it monday === eu is now known as Guest96503 === m_conley_away is now known as m_conley [19:06] 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. === m_conley is now known as m_conley_away === m_conley_away is now known as m_conley === mmcc_ is now known as mmcc === mmcc_ is now known as mmcc === mmcc_ is now known as mmcc
