I have modified the technique detailed for gentoo at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Burn_Encrypted_Optical_Media_With_Luks so that I have been able to make an encrypted CD containing a directory and some files as a test. If I put this CD in the CD drive I get a pop up asking me to enter the luks passphrase - and if I enter this it is happy but there is no apparent mount point available to see the contents, and there is nothing in the way of any messages in /var/log/messages during this process. I can certainly make the CD visible by doing the following steps: MAPPER="cryptocd" CDROM=/dev/cdrom MOUNTDIR=/mnt/tmp LOOP=$(losetup -f) losetup $LOOP $CDROM && echo $LOOP >/tmp/loop_device cryptsetup luksOpen $LOOP $MAPPER mount /dev/mapper/$MAPPER $MOUNTDIR Then ls /mnt/tmp will list the files on the encrypted CD.... Can someone tell me what is happening during the initial request for the luks passphrase and where I might be able to see the filesystem without having to manually execute the lines I listed above? How can I then make an icon pop up on the desktop if I do execute the lines manually? Of course this could be made into a script and automated but it would be nice to have an icon open automatically when I put the CD in the CDROM drive, rather like when an encrypted usbkey is plugged in and the icon pops onto the desktop once the luks passphrase has been entered.
