What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to mount a volume with TrueCrypt

2. Fails with "Error: no child processes" What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Unknown version on Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Nexus.

Please repeat using the verbose flag (-v) and report the full output, the version of Cryptonite, and the output on a root shell of the following commands:

ls /dev/fuse which mount which losetup

Thanks

After updating to the latest CynagonMod 10 ROM for my Nexus 7 (cm-10-20121012-NIGHTLY-grouper.zip), I was able to successfully mount a Truecrypt volume.

I believe the error was in the earlier release of CyanogenMod 10, and not cryptonite.

In reply to Comment 3, i was able to gain full access without being root by following the instructions in the Wiki FAQ. I've pasted the relevant section below. It may help:

How can I make TrueCrypt mount my volume with correct permissions? I don't want to use a root file browser. Try: truecrypt --fs-options="uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0002" volume.tc /sdcard/tc. Thanks to user pkalny for reporting this fix.
