Problems with truecrypt
I have a recent need to have a USB flash drive that needs to be used on both linux and windows machines, and I have chosen to use truecrypt to do so. I installed it well and fine, encrypted the drive perfectly in windows. Now, im back here on my linux machine and again, installed it perfectly, but its giving me errors:
Code:
# truecrypt /dev/sde1 |
1st, you need to locate (literally) your modules:
Code:
locate crypt | less -S # try this 1st 2nd, you need to make sure they are in the place that modules belong. If this is not obviously so from the results of (1), and you don't already know where modules belong on your system; then I would run lsmod, followed by a locate on 1 of the found modules: Code:
locate <module> | less -S |
It seems like the modules don't exist at all, theirs another package called kmod-truecrypt which contains the kernel modules apparently, it should have come up as a dependency but for some reason did not. So I attempted to build from source, and now its telling me that it can't do it:
Code:
# ./build.sh |
Sorry, you've reached my limit. There's nothing to do but hope someone else has an answer.

Well, essentially, all I want to be able to do is to be able to have an encrypted file I can carry with me, that I can mount as a filesystem on both windows and linux. When you google this, Truecrypt comes up first, but is there another way maybe?
