But, now when I try to access my /DATA partition, TDE says it can't enter that partition after I enter my admin password.
Who owns /DATA? TDE does nothing special, just follows *nix rules.
I don't use Mint, but as far as I know it's Ubuntu based, so I guess your "admin" password is your user password.
On my computer, partitions that I use from my user are owned by this user:
sudo chown -R <user>:<User group> <partition>
(I imagine, I don't use sudo).
for example: - I get root (su) - chown -R thierry:users /DATA
Thats it.
You say you use cinnamon. When I use Trinity software from xfce, I have to use tdesu to get root rights (instead of pkexec). But this yould mean that TDE is not the main UI.
Hope this can help.
