I tried the link to get the link to download the pet and got the file not found error.

Thanks - James

Just in case this turns up in a search for someone else like it did for me-

After messing about with installing the pet then the installer from truecrypt to get it to work-

The easiest way is just to download it from here and save it someplace. No install necessary- just click it to run.

Hi,

Could someone post truecrypt-6.3a.pet again?

Thanks in advance.

I have Truecrypt 7.1 here:

http://www.complianceman.com/puppy2

It should have the Menu entry under Filesystem.

Thanks slavvo67, but I've already downloaded this package and it doesn't work for puppy lucid.

I wonder if I could find some missing dependencies in the previous one.
Unfortunately, truecrypt-6.3a.pet is missing.

Is it booting and just not working properly? You have to check off "Do not use Kernal integration" in the settings.

I've already ticked it in Truecrypt menu :

Settings › Preferences › System integration › Do not use Kernal integration

I've already created a script /usr/local/bin/nautilus

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
exec rox $3
exit 0

I can create a volume.
I can mount / explore a volume in Truecrypt.

What is in trouble : when I dropped my file-volume on Truecrypt desktop, I got this message :

No such file or directory: dmsetup

Same problem with command line :

Code: Select all

# truecrypt /mnt/sda3/test.crypt /mnt/truecrypt1

Solved : I modified the desktop

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/bin/truecrypt --load-preferences

Same problem with command line

Solved :

Code: Select all

# truecrypt --load-preferences /mnt/sda3/test.crypt /mnt/truecrypt1

Good solve! I'm sorry that I couldn't help you more. I noticed the 6.3a was located in an old Lighthouse distro so you could have probably installed and extracted it but your solve is better.

Please be sure to mark (solved) in your original subject line so it can help others.

Best,

Thanks RetroTechGuy, I seen that package, but the host said : An Error Occurred

Anyway, I understood no dependencies are needed : solved

Even better : specify filesystem

Code: Select all

truecrypt --load-preferences --filesystem=ext3 /mnt/sda3/test.crypt /mnt/truecrypt1

The developers have abandoned TrueCrypt stating that there may be unfixed security issues:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/truecry ... =directory

But there is more to this story:

Just thought you should know.
