Problem unlocking the DM-CRYPT volume

[git70]

Creating a new container goes without problems.

When trying to decrypt the volume I have the message: "Volume could not be opened with the presented key". The password is definitely correct (I did tests). It only works correctly if I choose default encryption (first in the drop-down list: aes.cbc-essiv:sha256.256.sha256).

I have some suspicion: The problem may be that the encryption algorithm cannot be selected because the icon is gray (is this option required for decryption or does the program recognize itself?)

The problem occurs on version 5.6.0, the Ubuntu 18.04 binary package downloaded from the project website. The problem does NOT occur on version 5.4.0 from the official Ubuntu / Mint repository. Operating system: Linux Mint 19.2 fresh installation zuluCrypt-cli - test: All Passed

The application use the default option which is the first one on the list if the user does not set it.

This bug was introduced in 5.6.0 when i added "VeraCrypt System" to the list and it took the position of PLAIN dm-crypt entry and i didnt update all the relevant code. Select "VeraCrypt System" and you will see the button is active again with PLAIN dm-crypt options.

The problematic line is this one[0], PLAIN dm-crypt is no longer at position "2" but at position "3".

Closing this one but will appreciate a confirmation that it works now.

This[1] commit fixed the bug and you can get binary packages from here[2]. The

Now it works fine here, but there is still a problem in the Favorites section. Please check. Many thanks for the speed of action!

I am not aware of any problems in the favorites section, what problem are you seeing?

Inactive encryption selection button for dm-crypt when opening the container. Similar to the problem above: The VeraCrypt System selection sequence and only then PLAIN dm-crypt works approx.

This part is solved in the latest git and binary package i posted above, right?

This makes no sense to me.

Can you give step by step instruction i can to reproduce the problem?

[git70]

Hmm... I can't reproduce the problem now. Maybe I got the test computers wrong and checked the program version before patches. Forgive me!

FYI, you can customize the list of dm-crypt crypto options you see when you click the button or when you create a plain dm-crypt volume by changing the value of PlainDmCryptOptions key in zuluCrypt.conf file located at ~/.config/zuluCrypt.

The first entry is used as the default option and you can change the default by modifying the list.

I can reproduce the problem you were talking about here, the button became inactive again when a wrong password is entered and the only way to make it active again is to select a different option like "VeraCrypt System" and then re-selecting "PLAIN dm-crypt".

Updated binary packages has a solution to the problem.

OK Thx!
