TrueCrypt

[dr death]

It should (but who knows). I checked, and it is the same as the file that I uploaded (which I got from the kernel source). I just seem to be unable to upload a file to this forum without it being corrupted.

THANKS!! ^^

If I can help you something... Anything atall.
Contact me at Linux Forums ^^

Thanks again..

If anyone is interested, I have RPM's, i686, for Truecrypt built against the 2.6.22.7-85.fc7 kernel. If if interested PM me and I will send them to you.

It seems Truecrypt is broken by 2.6.22.9-91 kernel. I had it working up until 7-85 but now I just get segmentation faults when trying to access a TC volume.

I rebuilt Truecrypt from source which worked fine (and I have the up to date kernel-devel). modprobe truecrypt works. But the same error when accessing volumes.

Any chance truecrypt could be supported through livna or similar? Is there a way of requesting this officially? Would be handy if kernel updates break it to have it kept up to date.

It works well on my system. I also have RPM's compiled against 2.6.22.9-91.fc7. If anyone is interested PM me.

I kept getting this error and I solved it by editing Dm-target.c and going to line 659 and removing the last NULL in the function parameters list. Apparently someone in the kernel sphere modified the params list and then changed it back; here's the background info http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/29/187. After running build.sh it worked fine.

Checking build requirements...

i use this threat to post my problem although i try to install truecrypt 5. hope this doesn't matter.

i followed the instructions in the readmefile. afer successfully building the wxwidgets libs i tryed to make truecrypt and got this error:

make
Compiling Buffer.cpp
StringConverter.h:23: error: ‘static std::wstring TrueCrypt::StringConverter::FromNumber(long int)’ cannot be overloaded
StringConverter.h:22: error: with ‘static std::wstring TrueCrypt::StringConverter::FromNumber(TrueCrypt::int64)’

can anyone help
(there is no difference running as root)

i use fedora 8 x86_64

i can't seem to get truecrypt 5 installed either on F7

[root@localhost truecrypt-5.0]# rpm -Uvh truecrypt-5.0-0.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libfuse2 is needed by truecrypt-5.0-0.i586
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9) is needed by truecrypt-5.0-0.i586

BehindTheTruth- the problem is with 64 bit. I had the same issue and found a patch on Ubuntu forums. I've attached it. Go into the truecrypt source directory and issue:

patch -p0 < ../path/to/the/patch/file/truecrypt-5.0-source.patch

Then follow the Linux install instructions in the Readme.txt.

DigitalDuality- see my reply to your post here:

[BehindTheTruth]

your patch solved my first error but now i get a new one.

Compiling MainFrame.cpp
Forms/MainFrame.cpp:23:32: error: TravelerDiskWizard.h: No such file or directory
In file included from Forms/MainFrame.cpp:24:

these files really do not exist, not even in the archive from the tc homepage

[ErikJohnson]

BTT, I believe that file is only supposed to be compiled on windows compiles. I have never gotten that error before. You might try doing a "make clean" from inside the source directory and then doing "make" again. Also, this guy is making rpms available here, but in order to be truly secure, you really need to compile it yourself:
