How to use truecrypt

[lcharles]

I installed truecrypt. It seemed to work. The encrypted file is in my home directory. In a console I type "truecrypt <file name> /mnt/
I get "Enter password for <file name> so I enter the password.
I try "truecrypt -vl"
I get /dev/mapper/truecrypt0: blaa blaa

but when I do "cd /mnt/
ls"

There's nothing there. What am I doing wrong? Also just by way of trying to understand linux when I installed truecrypt in another Debian version I had to add a line to my fstab file to be able to mount the truecrypt volume. That doesnt work here.

Please explain. Thanks

Re: How to use truecrypt, I still have a problem

I followed the suggestion and made a directory /media/crypt

Then I typed, as root, truecrypt --mount-options uid=teunis <My tc file> /media/crypt"

I still have the same problem that it is not mounting the file as a drive. Which is to say that it is not available at /media/crypt

What do I try now, or any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

lcharles

PS what is mount option uid=teunis?

Re: How to use truecrypt

That's where your UID goes. Yours is probably 1000.

By the way, there is something in the container, correct? Because if there isn't, you won't see anything.
