Hi all,
I have an encrypted portable drive. When I plug it in Konqueror prompts me to provide a password to encrypt the device, but upon enterig the password I get a message saying that this feature is only available with HAL. IIRC HAL has been dropped, wasn't it? Is there any way to get this working?

Hi Janek, is it a LUKS encrypted device? Currently there is no support for LUKS device in R14.0.x series. It will be added in R14.1.0 (work is in progress). For the time being, you need to first unlock the device from CLI. Cheers Michele
Hi Michele,
thank you for quick reply. Yes, this is a LUKS device. I'm happy to hear this will be supported in Trinity.

Right. So I am able to unlock the device with:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb6 my_drive
and then Trinity asks me for a password to decrypt the drive. If I provide the password I get an error "Error: device /dev/dm-2 is not removable". I don't know whether this is expected. For now I just mount the unlocked drive with mount and that works without problems.

Yes, that is pretty much what you have to do at the moment. Just for info, in my development branch I can already use LUKS drives, so most of the required code is there already. I need to find the time to finish it off properly before merging to master branch of R14.1.x series. Cheers Michele
