truecrypt is now in the [extra] repo

tomk · 2006-10-07 08:13:02

I've just added truecrypt to [extra],so you should be able to get it from your usual mirror within the next 24 hours or so. You will need truecrypt-utils for the userspace tools, and either truecrypt or truecrypt-beyond for the module, depending which kernel you use.

That is AWESOME TomK...once again, you are my hero

Hi,

I´m get an error, if i would mount an truecrypted container:

$ truecrypt --mount-options "rw,sync,utf8,uid=1000,umask=0007" /dev/hdb2 /home/**/**
Enter password for '/dev/hdb2':
FATAL: Module truecrypt not found.
truecrypt: Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module

How can i solve this problem?

tomk · 2006-10-08 10:12:10

modprobe truecrypt

If you want it available at all times, add it to the rc.conf MODULES array.

Hi,

cool move, thank you

campylobacter: It seems you don't have the kernel module installed. Did you install "truecrypt"?
What kernel version are you using? For 2.6.18 you need a patch (which is provided in AUR), the vanilla truecrypt version only works with 2.6.17

Question: Is the 2.6.18 kernel patch in the extra repository Truecrypt?

tomk · 2006-10-08 10:46:37

Yeah, the package in extra is patched for 2.6.18.

campylobacter · 2006-10-08 11:22:26

Ok, i found the problem. I have installed the package from AUR, and after the update to the kernel version 2.6.18, it wouldn´t work. So i remove the cache packages and installed truecrypt again. Now it works. Thank you!

Pudge · 2006-10-10 03:18:14

I don't understand this.

I have the regular version of kernel26-2.6.18-7 installed. I do

pacman -Sy  truecrypt truecrypt-utils

everything installs fine. Then as root I try

modprobe truecrypt

and get

FATAL: Module truecrypt not found.

What am I missing here?

Edit: I have tried this on two different Arch machines with the same results.

iphitus · 2006-10-10 04:10:56

run `depmod -a`

the depmod in the truecrypt install file is probably incorrect.

Pudge · 2006-10-10 04:19:57

Thanks iphitus,

That fixed the problem. I don't think I've ever had to use that command before.

When pacman installed truecrypt, it said

>>> Updating module dependencies. Please wait ...

what did depmod do that the pacman update didn't do?

Pudge

tomk · 2006-10-10 06:29:14

My mistake. The truecrypt install script uses depmod -A, which is not effective in some cases. I will change it shortly.

Pudge · 2006-12-11 20:01:39

I have kernel26-2.6.19-3 installed, and I just upgraded to truecrypt 4.2a-4.

It won't install the kernel module. I get the following error code:

FATAL: Error inserting truecrypt (/lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH/extra/truecrypt.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

When I list out dmesg, I get the following:

truecrypt: Unknown symbol blk_congestion_wait

I also ran 'depmod -a' and it didn't make any difference.
Any suggestions?

tomk · 2006-12-11 22:07:13

Apologies for this, and thanks for catching it. I'll fix it asap.

arodrpin - is that your own patch, or if not, where did you find it?

tomk · 2006-12-11 22:26:13

NVM - found it.

tomk · 2006-12-11 22:41:11

Pudge - the fix is in, but it may take a while to reach your favourite mirror. If you're in a hurry, you can get it here:

hi,
i get the same error with a 2.6.20 kernel. I tried to compile truecrypt myself, after changing the 2.6.19 to 2.6.20 in the PKGBUILD file, but failed (probably i haven't got all libraries or smth. ) is there a chance for a truecrypt package for the newest kernel ?

mutlu_inek · 2007-02-09 17:51:56

The current kernel is 2.6.19.2-1. Right now, the 2.6.20 kernel is in testing. Packages containing kernel modules are usually released together with the new kernel (that is when it hits current) which will not take very long any more.

If you use testing or if you compile your own kernel, you should be able to build the necessary modules, too.

ai · 2007-02-09 19:06:45

well i use testing, and it's a pity that there are no adequate modules in the testing rep.

tomk · 2007-02-09 23:06:05

truecrypt currently does not compile against kernel 2.6.20, and the truecrypt devs have not yet released an official fix. There are some patches available that have been submitted by truecrypt users, who may or may not know what they are doing, but as we're talking about encryption here, I expect that most users will be happy to wait for the official fix.

Notwithstanding the above - ai, I'm delighted you use testing, and I have no doubt that you are aware of the implications of doing so. I will build a 2.6.20 version for you using the best-looking patch I can find, and you can let me know how (or if) it works. All this will, of course, be at your own risk, if you decide to do it.

well to be true i started to use testing because of the new kernel and some patches important for me. I don't really want my encrypted hdd to be a guinea pig ^^ But i found http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-53 … crypt.html and i'm quite confident that it'll work

As promised - new version of truecrypt here:
http://www.archlinux.org/~tom/packages/ … pkg.tar.gz
PKGBUILD and associated files here:
http://www.archlinux.org/~tom/packages/truecrypt/

Let me know how it goes.

ai · 2007-02-11 19:13:51

The package works great for me. No problems at all.
Thanks for your help

tomk · 2007-02-17 23:13:51

Thanks for the feedback, ai. Truecrypt is now in extra, for both kernel26 and kernel26ck.
