Whenever I try to open such devices as USB flash drives or solid state drives, the 'Unlock storage device' window appears and asks me to enter the password. I do so, whereupon the window expands at the bottom with the following message: 'Feature only available with HAL.' I find that message strange, as I thought that HAL had been superseded by Dbus, but perhaps I am mistaken. In any event I would appreciate it if somebody could inform me as to how to open such encrypted devices in a box with Debian Bullseye and TDE. Regards, Ken Heard
Hi Ken, R14.0.x does not support opening encrypted devices from GUI directly, you get exactly the error that you reported. A workaround is to unlock the device from CLI first, then you can mount the unlocked device.R14.1.0 will support unlocking/mounting/unmounting/locking LUKS disks from GUI. In fact if you use R14.1.0 [Development] it already supports that, as long as you have udisks2 (recommended) or udevil or pmount installed. You may need a polkit agent installed to gain access to it (policykit-1-gnome will do for the moment -- a TDE polkit agent is under development and will be included in R14.1.0 when ready).
On a side note, I have been running TDE on Debian testing since 2012, I never had many issues. The fact that you see so many problems (see other emails from you) let me think you may be missing some packages or have done something wrong during the installation. Like the DCOP issue for example.
In general, TDE on a Debian box is as good as it gets :-) Cheers Michele
