It took one day to disable the ecryptfs encryption of the home directory, which was once set up when installing the system.
First of all, we make a copy of the home directory of the right user:
sudo cp -rp /home/user /home/user_backup
Get the mount point in the directory:
PRIVATE=`cat ~/.ecryptfs/Private.mnt 2>/dev/null || echo $HOME/Private`
Unmount the directory:
ecryptfs-umount-private
Install the rights to the directory:
chmod 750 $PRIVATE
Delete the directory and directories ~/.Private, ~/.ecryptfs:
rm -rf $PRIVATE ~/.Private ~/.ecryptfs
And also in the made copy:
rm -rf /home/user_backup/.Private /home/user_backup/.ecryptfs
If ecryptfs is no longer used in the system, then we will delete the utilities:
sudo apt-get remove ecryptfs-utils libecryptfs0
Install the right user directory:
sudo chmod 750 /home/user sudo chown user:user -R /home/user
Copy the necessary files from the backup copy of the home directory.
Done.
You can see the built-in statement with the command:
ecryptfs-setup-private --undo
