I have two latops, on each of them I have a user without encrypted home folder. I wanted to encrypt the home folders of these users so I followed this tutorial. These two are completely different laptops. One of them is an old HP laptop and the other one is some high end Dell laptop (if needed I will post the model names here).
Encryption process:
I created new users (one on each laptop) with encrypted home directories following the tutorial mentioned above and I was about to migrate the files from the old users to the new ones with encrypted home dirs. On the old HP laptop the new user was working all fine, I could migrate all the files, I couls run any application, simply all was working well.
On the high end Dell laptop I have problems with the new user. All works fine till I go to activities (Window key). Sometimes my laptop gets completely frozen while searching for applications, other times it gets frozen while opening some application. Actually the cursor gets transformed to a loading cursor and it loads forever, but the whole operating systems gets completely frozen. I have to force restart the system.
Do you have any idea, guys, how to deal with this problem on the mentioned Dell laptop?
Note: tried before upgrade from Ubuntu 18 to Ubuntu 20 LTS as well as after the upgrade. Still the same behaviour.
