Now on 11.4: I plug the hard disk, the encrypted container icon with an open padlock appears in device notifier applet. Clicking on such icon will prompt for a password. After providing the correct password, the content of the encrypted container is accessible AND the encripted partition is mounted. But in the device notifier applet the encrypted container icon will still show an open padlock and no icon for the newly avalable removable media appears.
There is no icon because the luks container and the encrypted partition are treated as a single disk. Just click the encrypted container again to open the device. .
After that it's not possible to remove the mounted encrypted partition with the device notifier applet.
Click the padlock should unmount it, but it doesn't seem t. This is most likely a bug.
I'm also failing to access the encrypted partition using udisks. The command: udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 fails with the error message: Mount failed: Not a mountable file system I know that udisks is aware of luks encrypted partitions: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains an action like: action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock" to unlock an encrypted device. The udisks man page does not have any mention about how to unlock an encrypted device so I assume that using the --mount option will do it, but that's not the case. Anyone know how to use udisks to mount an encrypted device?
It works fine for me on three different encrypted disks, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
