Is it possible to mount truecrypt volume at start-up with Xorg being disabled? I found only issue on automatical mounting TrueCrypt volumes for Gnome. We just add to /etc/gdm/Init/Default
Code:
truecrypt /home/workimage.tc /home/work
And where can I set a rule for system to mount volume from console tty1? And, i'm wondering is it essential to unmount volumes each time i shut down my PC? And if yes, where can i set this rule too.
Installed Truecrypt onto openSUSE 11.3 (KDE) and noticed that Truecrypt needed to be started as root.Modified visudo using YAST asusername ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/truecryptHowever, when copying files from my backup drive into the Truecrypt partition, there is an access problem (couldn't remember actual error message)In Konsole , updated visudo to username ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/truecrypt Copying is allowed and working fine.Question:1. What is the difference between the above two visudo setting?2. How to updated visudo to the second setting in YAST?3. How to change the editor for visudo in konsole using nano instead of vi?

But there's no longer any deb packages there's only a .tar package containing a .sh script.When I run the script and install it says that I'm missing these two things.

Is there an alternative way to install with software? so any solution that does not fall into the category of Yast or web-based installation of packages will be exotic for me

Is this possible? or is it better to make a hidden /home partition?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI used Truecrypt in Windows and it worked pretty well. I tried to install the program on Ubuntu but got some problem. Here is what I did and the problems I got:
1. I downloaded the standard 32-bit tag.gz file from [URL]
2. Extract the file onto desktop
3. Installed by double clicking and run in terminal or directly run in terminal (I assume they are equal)
4. Follow the instructions till 'Press Enter to exit'.
For me it seems that the program is installed successfully, and the icon shows up in the Application- Accessories menu. However, it doesn't respond at all when I click the icon. For most of the software I used in Windows, I have already found equivalents that are working fine. And I really don't want to go back to Windows because this program.
I work for a all-in-one IT company, basically businesses hire us and we will fix all their problems from servers to pencil sharpenersI want to get some background with UNIX so i wanted to multiboot linux on my laptop and use it for a few weeks. After a few hours of trial and error i managed to install it! So to the point: i used Truecrypt to encrypt my laptop and it used a special boot loader that made me input the password just after the post.My question is, can i use Truecrypt with a multiboot 7/ubuntu? After it took me hours to install this , running into and trouble shooting various problems that were probably just my ignorance, but Linux feels very fragile and i do not want to screw it up.

TrueCrypt offers 3 hashes for use: RIPEMD-160, SHA-512, WHIRLPOOL.What do most people use? How does one go about deciding which one is appropriate for them? Do they differ in security or performance?

my /dev/sdb was a truecrypt partition that was mounted when I accidentally deleted the partition in gparted (instead of sdc, stupid). I'm pretty sure I haven't overwritten anything since then, but I'm not sure how to go about recovering this one. To confound the problem, the only way I can install stuff to my ubunut machine is by downloading on a windows machine and transferring by memory stick.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen you are creating a TrueCrypt partition it asks what filesystem you will be using:
None
FAT
EXT2
EXT3
This is fine if you decide to create your partition on Linux but I am wondering what you would do if you wanted to create it on your XP partition and access it through the mounted drive. My XP is NTFS and that option does not appear.
Is anyone else getting a non-transparent icon in the system tray when TrueCrypt 6.3a loads on Ubuntu 10.04 with the default theme? Annoying white bars on the top and bottom of the icon. This didn't occur with the same version of TrueCrypt on previous versions of Ubuntu. Any way to resolve it? It looks out of place...

to mount my volume at start up. it prompts for my truecrypt password(TCP) to open my files. so far i can put it in in the "Startup applications" but it needs root rights.. so it prompts for my root password and then again for my TCP. id like it to only ask for my TCP. i tried just putting the command and then also putting the command in a bash script and calling it from there.
