Truecrypt 7.0a - Solved.
Now getting an error message when opening truecrypt volume (screengrab attached), still able to view contents of truecrypt file though.
It just occurred to me: the version of truecrypt I have running in windows is not the same as in puppy. Perhaps opening and saving the truecrypt volume in windows has made the truecrypt file slightly incompatible with the version in Puppy ?

Thank you, Fishak!Fishak wrote:OK, so I figured it out. It is mounted in in: /mnt/truecrypt10. It even says so, right there in the TC Mound Directory column.
To find mnt, I clicked the little house icon on the desktop, clicked the up arrow to go up one directory, and found the mnt folder there.
I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks, creating and mounting, and not being able to find TrueCrypt volumes.
Yes, it does say where its mounted right there in the TC Mound Directory column. All I needed to do was look!
Aaaagh!
Nautilus issue...
Hello.
If anyone is still interested in opening containters from within TC, here's a very simple hack.
It's enough to fool TC a little bit, by creating fake nautilus "binary":
Save the code as "nautilus" (no quotes) in /usr/bin and make it executable.
Tested with TC 7.1
PS. rox can be replaced with your favourite filemanager, of course.
EDIT: Oops, small typo in code, corrected now.
HTH

Truecrypt -- help
HI All,
New user here, trying to get up and running with Puppy.
I installed Truecrypt in the same manner as I ahve with many other distros. I am running Puppy 5.5 Precise
The install went as expected with the comments others have mentioned about needing FUSE libraries and device mapping tools.
When I tried running Truecrypt from the command line, I get the error:
bash: /usr/bin/truecrypt: cannot execute binary file
What is wrong here?
Many thanks,
Idiopup

I don't use truecrypt, but just stumbled across an interesting article suggesting it is finished:

That makes a good read. If I understand it correctly the author says that he will continue to make available the final release of Truecrypt - even though its creators believe it is unsustainable to maintain it adequately in the future.Barkin wrote:TrueCrypt is still available ... https://www.grc.com/misc/truecrypt/truecrypt.htm [ downloads at bottom of that GRC page ]
If the general public does decide to fork and maintain Truecrypt i would doubt their ability to keep the same quality of development and to exclude penetration of the project by people with adverse agendas.
Having said that though, the people at GRC are people whose judgement I would trust more than most..
Not sure if I;m bumping the thread if it's related to the topic, but...
Veracrypt has been named as the next version of truecrypt.
Some of the developers are from Microsoft, and a post was made by truecrypt a while ago saying trucrypt had been broken.
Veracrypt may not be NSA proof, but it will usually suffice to protect my company and business financial files.
there is a pet download file here.
Thanks so much for everyone's help!

By whom has this spin-off been named TrueCrypt's successor ?, the authors of TrueCrypt ?.Newbie33 wrote: Veracrypt has been named as the next version of truecrypt.
The Veracrypt wikipedia page , ironically , has no verification.

also veracrypt cant open existing truecrypt containers. TCNext is an option if you need TC compatibility.Barkin wrote:By whom has this spin-off been named TrueCrypt's successor ?, the authors of TrueCrypt ?.Newbie33 wrote: Veracrypt has been named as the next version of truecrypt.

Actually it can, since version 1.0f. TC containers can be also converted to VC format.Q5sys wrote:also veracrypt cant open existing truecrypt containers.
From other new features - one can create not only FAT/Ext?, but also NTFS formatted containers under Linux.

Hmm, I begin to like it...
