#Uninstall truecrypt linux install#

I could install truecrypt manually, I have the linux installation file for it. What might be causing this? I have several truecrypt volumes and they all do exactly the same thing on linux, yet they mount fine in Windows. It will do the same if I try and mount a device through the command line. To install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stefansundin/truecrypt sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get. If I try selecting the device in truecrypt and mounting it manually it will say 'invalid characters encountered'. 4) A mount external helper is included (can be used with fstab). It will say 'incorrect password or not a truecrypt volume'. I can also mount them in arch linux using cryptsetup, although truecrypt is my preferred method. I can mount them in Windows using truecrypt without any issues. Since I rebooted my computer, I haven't been able to mount any of my truecrypt volumes from my external or external hard drives using truecrypt. I think the -3 on the end might've been what's changed. I'm not sure how, as the last release has always been 1.71, although I noticed the package is described in pacman as truecrypt 1:7.1a-3. As a compiler of this product I have seen how easy it is to take control with physical access. The process of doing the same thing with TrueCrypt is trivial. I was using Truecrypt fine on Wednesday the 9th of December and sometime between then and now I ran pacman -Syu and one of the packages it 'upgraded' was truecrypt. (This is posted in the linux forum here) This article contains an excellent read about pwning ANY full disk encryption machine using Linux, with a standard physical boot configuration.
