You could try to use gnome-mount, but I > don't know what the state of that program is nowadays Well, I took your suggestion and installed gnome-mount, but I have problem. It does ask for my password, but gnome-mount has a timeout waiting for hal to setup the cleartext volume for my partition. The thing is that, Hal does setup the cleartext volume in /dev/mapper, so it must be that either Hal doesn't notify gnome-mount about the volume, or gnome-mount can't receive the notification for some reason.
I'll do some more research tomorrow and if I manage to get it working, I'll upload my PKGBUILD on the AUR. One more thing. Hal's luks scripts have a variable called CRYPTSETUP, which point to /sbin/cryptsetup. That's wrong, while cryptsetup.static is located in /sbin, cryptsetup itself is in /usr/sbin. The files are: - hal-luks-remove - hal-luks-setup - hal-luks-teardown which are located in /usr/share/hal/scripts and are owned by the Hal package. -- Tebari
