The problem is detailed here: So, I got curious and installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 in a VM and selected to "Encrypt your home directory"[0] during the installation. And indeed, upon login the error messages you mentioned are printed to the kernel log, but in my case the login succeeds anyway: ========================================================== $ ssh ubuntu0 -l dummy dummy@ubuntu0's password: dummy@ubuntu0:~$ dmesg -t | tail -3 Could not find valid key in user session keyring for sig specified in mount option: [0ea32e1f93c8f774] One or more global auth toks could not properly register; rc = [-2] Error parsing options; rc = [-2] dummy@ubuntu0:~$ df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /home/dummy/.Private 5.9G 1.4G 4.2G 26% /home/dummy ========================================================== With no manual modifications done, this is how the PAM configuration looks like in a fresh installation: ========================================================== dummy@ubuntu0:~$ grep -r ecrypt /etc/pam.d/ /etc/pam.d/common-session:session optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap /etc/pam.d/common-auth:auth optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap /etc/pam.d/common-password:password optional pam_ecryptfs.so /etc/pam.d/common-session-noninteractive:session optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap ========================================================== So, while the Ubuntu upgrade process may have some flaws, the installer appears to work, although the messages are annoying and should be fixed, of course.
