Greetings,

I managed to install TrueCrypt with various sudoers edits and now the program is installed and will open the encrypted folder but I canot copy TO the folder.

Any ideas why not?

If you don't provide any more information noone can tell

Please at least show the output of

Code: Select all: mount

and

Code: Select all: ls -la /path/to/truecrypt/mountpoint

Code: Select all: [michel@localhost ~]$ mount /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,commit=600,barrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/sda6 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,commit=600,barrier=1,data=ordered) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) /dev/sdb1 on /run/media/michel/624281e9-ba51-4c0e-9437-50bf54d2cf14 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,errors=continue,barrier=1,data=ordered) truecrypt on /tmp/.truecrypt_aux_mnt1 type fuse.truecrypt (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other)

Code: Select all: [michel@localhost ~]$ ls -la /path/to/truecrypt/mountpoint ls: cannot access /path/to/truecrypt/mountpoint: No such file or directory

I think it is a permission issue but I do not know how to change permissions in mageia.

Michel

The KDM add on alows me to run root commands and I managed to change permissions but I still cannot wrinte into the truecrypt folder.

Michel

OK did it!

I changed the permissions of the external hard drive where my truecrypt folder is located but that did not resolve the issue. I then noticed that when I mount my truecrypt folder, an entry "truecrypt1" is created in the /media directory. I changed the ownership and permission and now I can write to my truecrypt folder.

/path/to/truecrypt/mountpoint is only a placeholder, you need to adapt this to your system. How should we know where you mount that thing?
I've not used truecrypt since ages, so from your output i don't really know where the unencrypted content is now mounted.

Please post the output of

Code: Select all: ls -al /tmp/.truecrypt_aux_mnt1

and

Code: Select all: ls -al /run/media/michel/624281e9-ba51-4c0e-9437-50bf54d2cf14

FWIW, the permissions you changed will probably only be effective until you reboot, you need to change the mounting itself.
For your current fstab entry for truecrypt, it shows in the options user_id=0,group_id=0 which makes the contents of that thing being owned by root (user id 0)

I rebooted many times and trucrypt1 entry is always in /media.

Code: Select all: [michel@localhost ~]$ ls -al /tmp/.truecrypt_aux_mnt1 total 4 dr-x------ 2 michel root 0 Aug 26 08:59 ./ drwxrwxrwt 35 root root 4096 Aug 26 08:59 ../ -rw------- 1 michel root 1736 Aug 26 08:59 control -rw------- 1 michel root 107373920256 Aug 26 08:59 volume

Michel

Then please show the output of

Code: Select all: ls -al /media

And use code tags when posting output etc. :ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/rpm/extra/test/code_tags.ogv

This is what I get BEFORE launching truecrypt and AFTER I launch it

Code: Select all: [michel@localhost ~]$ ls -al /media total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 26 10:21 ./ drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Aug 26 09:55 ../ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Aug 25 03:31 624281e9-ba51-4c0e-9437-50bf54d2cf14/ drwxr-xr-x 46 michel michel 4096 Aug 26 03:15 624281e9-ba51-4c0e-9437-50bf54d2cf14_/

I've fixed it in your previous post (again), please use them next time.

Now when you have launched truecrypt, please post the output of

Code: Select all: ls -al /media/truecrypt*

But altogether this sounds like something which should be changed by some setting in truecrypt itself, and not to be manually adjusted afterwards.

The command lists the content of my folder.

Michel

So post the output here, at least for the .. and . "directory" entries, so we can see the current permissions.
As an example, here's mine for an external drive:

[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ ls -al /media/EXTERN3
total 80
drwx------ 1 doktor5000 doktor5000 4096 Aug 26 18:58 ./
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 26 22:00 ../

This shows that the top directory of that NTFS partition is owned by my user and group.

Code: Select all: drwxr-xr-x 7 michel root 4096 Aug 26 11:13 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 27 01:00 ../
