Problem mounting file after a major system update on Arch #151

Closed taldarus closed 4 years ago

taldarus commented 4 years ago

Sorry for the bit of newb post, but I prefer to post as soon as I find a problem, and I can't find a solution. It will be like 18 hours until I can really attack the problem on my end, and I would prefer not to wait and find out it isn't my end.

Running on Arch. Occasionally access two encrypted files that I use for storage. Have used zulucrypt for a long time.

Just did a major linux update, and now zulucrypt isn't working afterwords. ( This is why I think the problem isn't on my end ) Correction, the program is working, but now I am getting a new problem with the mounting of the file ( I use the GUI ).

"Permission to access the volume was denied

or

the volume is not supported (LVM/MDRAID signatures found)"

EDIT: For those who are wondering about the shortest open/closed ever. I just realized, after posting I forgot to reboot.

I will note that I did actually need to reinstall zulu cause I was using a dead AUR branch (For non arch users, zulu was out of date, and I didn't know because I was using a git pull request that wasn't updated anymore.)

I will note that I always manage to make myself look so smart on github :+1:

If a search leads you here, check version number, and check your reboot. I am mostly adding this in case someone finds this.

A technical reason is because cryptsetup changed its library name and zulucrypt could not find it.

A solution is to recompile zulucrypt.

Will add a check to give a more informative reason when this happens.
