Package: gnome-mount
Version: 0.7-2

I just want to confirm this bug.

I have a password with a `\' character in it (backslash).
When typing this password inside the gnome-mount dialog when connecting my USB disk, decryption and mounting fails. This also occurs when invoking gnome-mount with the -t switch for text entry, and entering my password via CLI.

It seems that using a double backslash ( `\\' ), instead of using just a single backslash in the password, allows the drive to be decrypted successfully, and the corrosponding luks_ entry is added to /dev/mapper/luks_*.

It seems to be an escaping issue.

I have found this bug at one other place.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mount/+bug/111059

It was very annoying trying to figure out why it wouldn't accept my password.

Kind Regards,

Mike
