Error when starting on LMDE 5 / Debian 11 #176

Closed git70 closed 2 years ago

Hi Francis! OS: LMDE 5 (Linux Mint Debian Edition) Cryptsetup: 2.3.7 zc_error

mhogomchungu commented 2 years ago

What version of zuluCrypt are you using?

That error means cryptsetup library was updated and its file name changed and zuluCrypt couldnt find the library anymore.

The solution here is to recompile zuluCrypt if you build it yourself or to ask zuluCrypt maintainer of your distro to recompile it.

I'm sorry I forgot to add a ZC version: ZC: 6.0.0 for Debian 10 Buster from Github LMDE 5 is based on Debian 11 Bullseye. It seems to me that it caused a mistake :(

You can use debian 11 binary packages from here[1] if you are using a 64 bit system and here[2] if you are using a 32 bit system.

Packages to download and install start with:-

  1. zulucrypt-gui._6.0.0.xxx
  2. zulucrypt-cli_6.0.0.xxx
  3. libzulucrypt1_6.0.0.xxx

These binaries has features requested here[3]. [1] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/obs_mhogomchungu/Debian_11/amd64/ [2] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/obs_mhogomchungu/Debian_11/i386/ [3] https://github.com/mhogomchungu/zuluCrypt/issues/177

When will it be updated on Github?

mhogomchungu commented 2 years ago

I will make a new release on April 11th, 2022 and i will make official packages for debian 11 when i make official packages for all versions when i make a new release.

git70 commented 2 years ago

Visible delay ;) When are you expecting a new release?

mhogomchungu commented 2 years ago

Steps I take while making a new release.

  1. Copy source code to a new folder and make sure the folder is properly named.

  2. Create an archive of it.

  3. Build from the new folder and do a quick test.

  4. Go online and run a build system that builds all binary package.

  5. Download binary packages and put them in a folder with appropriate name and then create an archive of it.

  6. Upload everything and update frontpage.

Step 5 above is tedious and takes a very long time and this time is what I do not currently have.

So, I will make a new release when my schedule opens up and it could be any day.

I predict Sunday but don't hold me to this day.

Bad news, more delays.

Life took an unexpected turn and I will be away from my computer for about 10 days.

Will make it a priority when I get back.
