Cannot open drive as container #31

Open Redsandro opened 9 years ago

Redsandro commented 9 years ago

I still cannot open LUKS disks.. I can only open file containers.

Is this not implemented yet or is there a problem with my system configuration?

AgentOak commented 9 years ago

Have you created your LUKS containers directly at disk-level, i.e. without using a partition? Then this might be related to #30 (especially what I describe in my 2nd comment).

Redsandro commented 9 years ago

No, LUKS is within partition.

There is just no File -> Linux Container. I don't know why.

t-d-k commented 9 years ago

There is no option to open partitions within LibreCryptExplorer, because this would need administrator rights. Do you mean there is no "File->Linux Container -> Open LUKS partition" item in the main LibreCrypt app? If so, you can use "File->Open Partition..." and it should detect that it's a LUKS container.

From InstallLibreCrypt_v62Beta.exe. You mean I need to run it as administrator specifically?

t-d-k commented 9 years ago

If you installed it from InstallLibreCrypt_v62Beta.exe, Then you should have two icons on your desktop, one for "LibreCrypt" and one for "LibreCrypt Explorer". If you run the "LibreCrypt Explorer" one, you shouldn't see any options to open partitions. If you run the "LibreCrypt" one, then under the 'File' menu, there should be an 'open partitions' menu item, which will open LUKS partitions.
