[EN] Pcmanfm not able to mount luks container
« on: 2012/11/03, 23:28:18 »
I have a luks container that I used to be able to mount properly on a previous distro (Arch). The way that I would do this is to first create the dev node /dev/loop0 for the container. After doing this the container would show up in the places section of pcmanfm. I would then be able to click on the container in pcmanfm and after entering the correct password to decrypt the container and entering my user password, it would then mount the container.

This doesn't want to work for me now and I'm not sure how to fix it. I can see that after entering the password to decrypt the container, cryptsetup is doing what is should be doing because the container shows up in /dev/mapper but it doesn't get mounted by pcmanfm. As I mentioned above, on my Arch installation I would have to enter my user password (for sudo I suppose) to mount the container. Now I don't get the option to enter my user password.

I have tried adding "gumper ALL=/bin/mount" to the sudo file but that doesn't help.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I am able to decrypt and mount the container properly using the CLI.

Thanks
