Cryptsetup is not installed by default and/or there is no visual indicator it is missing.
This are the problems user will encounter because of that: -If encrypted USB media is inserted prompt for password will be shown but unlocking will fail. -Disk Utility offers option when formating device to create encrypted volume and if selected formating will fail. -Disk Utility does show encrypted media but an effort to unlock it will fail. -... Suggestion: cryptsetup should be available by default or visual indicator that it's needed but missing and needs to be installed should be presented! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651730 Title: nautilus asks for pass even though cryptsetup is not installed - should recommend install before Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus nautilus asks for pass even though cryptsetup is not installed - should recommend install before cryptsetup should be a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop meta-package and/or to the following individual packages: gnome-disk-utility nautilus my reasoning for this request is that both of these programs have disabled features which have to do with luks encrypted disks. These programs seemingly offer these options but unless cryptsetup is installed they will fail with an error. These programs should either recommend installation of cryptsetup (using gnome-app-install just like totem with codecs) before preforming the action, otherwise they should be set as dependencies to these packages. Steps to reproduce: Disk Utility (palimpsest): -Insert disk and format disk, create a partition and encrypt underlaying device -It will ask for password but will fail if crypsetup is not installed Expected: -Palimpsest should recommend the installation of crypsetup through gnome-app-install or -cryptsetup should be a dependency of gnome-disk-utility or -Feature should not be showen if cryptsetup is not installed Nautilus: -Insert LUKS encrypted disk into a fresh install of ubuntu (imagine you have no net access for a radius of 50km) -Nautilus asks for password, indicating a feature it cannot preform without cryptsetup -Nautilus fails with error stating that the child process crypsetup could not be found -Nautilus should recommend the installation of crypsetup through gnome-app-install or -cryptsetup should be a dependency of nautilus or -Feature (password dialog) should not be shown if cryptsetup is not installed ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: nautilus 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-24.43-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-24-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Sep 29 22:20:07 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release i386 (20100816.1) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/651730/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
