I set up a friend with 12.04 and he forgot his password. I encrypted his home directory and I have written down the encryption passphrase during the first boot.

I just upgraded my F9 system to F10 using they preupgrade method, and though nothing seems to have failed during the upgrade I can't boot my system any longer.

How can I run a script to log into a remote server and execute a remote ssh command without entering in my passphrase?

I have been using public key authentication on my servers for a while now, but I am experiencing issues on a new 'client' trying to connect to github.

I went into root area, and changed password there.
When logging on, it kicks me back to main screen.
I used ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase,
It asked for old wrapping passphrase, which I assumed was my initial password.
It asked for new wrapping passphrase (twice).
I got an error: Unwrapping passphrase
Hi all,
I lost my bin, boot, etc folders and my home folder is encrypted. I also forgot my passphrase, I tried to recover the passphrase but no luck!
Can anyone tell how to recover my home folder.. Any help is highly appreciated!
I have a server which I set up with its root partition totally encrypted. I urgently need to disable the passphrase dialog at startup because it is not letting the server boot up after an electricity cut, it happened already.
Is there any way to make the system boot automatically into the encrypted system without asking for the passphrase?
I am having an ssh nightmare, I have not idea what I am doing wrong.
