i
have been to so many forums to find a solution to this. all the
variations are confusing me and none are working.
i am trying to pipe a passphrase to cryptsetup using yad.
pass1=`yad --form --title="Enter container passphrase"
--height=50 --width=350 --field=Password:H`
then i strip out the pipe character present between yad
variables
pass="${pass1//|}"
at this point the variable pass appears to be exactly what i
want.
later on i invoke cryptsetup with the passphrase variable
piped to it.
echo "$pass" | cryptsetup --cipher aes-xts-plain --key-size
512 --hash sha512 --iter-time 5000 --use-random luksFormat
"$container" -
after a moment, i see the device pop into the selection in my
file manager then it dissapears.
the funny thing is, i wrote a terminal only version using the
same methods minus the yad things and it works fine(see
attached)
terminal version requires 3 confirmations YES, passphrase,
passphrase. do i need to reproduce these confirmations even with
a minus sign at the end of the cryptsetup line?
if so, would echo "YES"$'\n'"$pass"$'\n'"$pass"'\n' do this?
also, if i replace the echo "$pass" pipe with xterm -e
cryptsetup.... it works fine. basically, i am not getting the
password format piped correctly. ive seen 7 different variations
on this pipe and nothing is working. its probably something with
spaces but i am resorting to email to lower my bloodpressure.
also avoiding forums to lower my heart rate :)
thanks to anyone reading this.
Erik
