Truecrypt Ubuntu Hardy (linux kernel 2.6.24 +)
Posted 01-01-2008 at 06:43 AM by carl0ski
After hours of fiddling i found a method of installing Truecrypt
What you'll need
$sudo apt-get build-essentials dmsetup linux-sources-`uname -r`
$cd /usr/src
$sudo tar -xvjpf linux-sources-`uname -r`.tar.bz2
$sudo ln -s linux-sources-`uname -r` /usr/src/linux
#patch i needed in Gentoo emerge tree
I needed to patch my kernel with the following
Code:

truecrypt2.6.24.patch
Run
#sudo patch -p0 -i truecrypt2.6.24.patch
It will now look as follows
Code:
$ sudo patch -p0 -i for2.6.23.patch can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -Nrup a/Linux/Kernel/Dm-target.c b/Linux/Kernel/Dm-target.c |--- carl/Linux/Kernel/Dm-target.c 2007-04-24 18:32:06.000000000 +0200 |+++ b/Linux/Kernel/Dm-target.c 2007-12-22 15:07:56.000000000 +0100 -------------------------- File to patch:
/home/carl/Desktop/truecrypt-4.3a-source-code/Linux/Kernel/Dm-target.c
finally build truecrypt
$cd /home/carl/Desktop/truecrypt-4.3a-source-code/Linux
$sudo sh ./build.sh
$sudo sh ./install.sh
#load truecrypt module
$sudo modprobe truecrypt
All should be good to go
