Truecrypt installation on Fedora 14


I have installed truecrypt on a Fedora 14 system. I have finally got truecrypt to mount a volume(only thru a terminal window). but when I try to look at the files in the volume, I get the following message:

Nautilus 3364: Eggsmclient Warning : Failed to connect to session manager. None of the Authentication Protocols specified are supported.
Glib-GIO error: gdbus connection c2270: initable_init assertion failed. (Connection >initialization error==null)

I made sure that Nautilus was alive and working ... what now??? PLease help.

First try to find the source of the problem. By that I mean is it TrueCrypt or Nautilus? Try opening a terminal window and issue the ls command to view the files in the encrypted file system.

For example if the encrypted file system is mounted on /mnt/secret then open a terminal window and enter the following command.
Code:
ls /mnt/secret
Post the results here.

After mounting the file "crypt001" in the truecrypt program, I opened another terminal window and this is the result. Since I have posted this thread, I read about another similar problem with Nautilus which was solved by widening the scope of the 'su" command. This was done by giving this command "su -". I tried this and it worked. I was able to access the mounted drive normally. Why this is so ??? but I now have a working truecrypt, albeit a bit cumbersome.
Thank you for the help
