Encountered my firs issue with truecrypt and forcefield - courtesy of Automatix. just couldn't get forcefield to create the volume. So I used apt-get to update to the latest version, that I was already running and built the volume from the commandline. Then used Forcefield to connect to the already built volume. :) All in all I am loving this ubuntu and am most definitely a convert.
