Comment 30 for bug 1009589

Dani, can you provide if you have encrypted your system (in other words checked the option to encrypt home on the installer)?

If you can't remember then run "ls -A /home" and see if it lists an ".encryptfs"-folder. If that folder exists, you have encryptFS enabled.
See this bug-report https://bugs.launchpad.net/pantheon-greeter/+bug/1128051 if you have encryptFS enabled, as you are affected by it.

If you don't have your encryptFS, please open a new bug to keep things sorted.
