SNAPSHOT

[extra/xap]

Package Updated! (New version)

Description
Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux

TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data is automatically encrypted or decrypted right before it is loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc).

If you need kernel cryptographic service support, you will need crypto-modules-extra or crypto-modules-extra-rt.

Enjoy

Please, test it out

Hi,

it seems to work fine. But are the "Copyrights" in the buildscript really useful?
I'm interested in such an app', so I'll test it further later.

The "copyrights" are just there to show the originators. I wouldn't take credit for something I didn't do 100% originally.

Thanks for trying out the package

UPDATE: mounting truecrypt volumes via CLI actually works! See original post

I tried it, and when I want to mount a volume, I get this error:

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Sorry, user aymeric is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/truecrypt --core-service' as root on zenwalk.

This might help (add this to /etc/sudoers with visudo):

%group_where_your_user_is_a_member ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/truecrypt

you may want to create a "truecrypt" group for that.

How does it work on your system?

Wakizaki · **Posted:** Sat Jun 06, 2009 3:33 pm

dmsetup is included on the device-mapper package, it's a dependency of truecrypt historically. I think device-mapper in included on the dep file.

Truecrypt works fine here currently (with a regular storage container file, not tested yet on a whole encrypted drive though).

You're right, I forgot to install it.
But now I get this, even with root:

device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument

Maybe the kernel crypto services are not disabled...

on GUI mode, you need to disable the kernel cryptographic service (see the first post). on CLI mode, nearly every execution of truecrypt needs -m=nokernelcrypto. example:

Mounting A Regular Storage Container:

Code:

sudo truecrypt -m=nokernelcrypto path_to_storage_container path_to_mountpoint

or

Code:

truecrypt -m=nokernelcrypto path_to_storage_container path_to_mountpoint

OK, it seems to work, now!
But I have problems with fsck and FAT filesystem. D!!

Wakizaki · **Posted:** Sat Jun 06, 2009 4:29 pm

hmmm, got fuse installed? I haven't tried making a storage container on FAT/NTFS.

Ejis · **Posted:** Sat Jun 06, 2009 4:35 pm

Yes, it is.
Anyway, this is a really interesting tool! Thanks for providing it.

Wakizaki · **Posted:** Sun Jun 07, 2009 4:27 am

I tried creating a FAT storage container on a FAT usb hard disk and also encrypted the whole drive, it works. What's specifically the problem on your end with fsck and FAT?
