Error Inserting Truecrypt
2007, 02:15 AMWARNING: It appears that these directions don't work for the Kubuntu. It isn't clear why, but the kernel module doesn't seem to load properly. This may require the compilation of a custom kernel. If you figure it out, please post below how you did it. I found the information on the forums a bit scattered and/or outdated so I was encouraged to write up a quick post to inform others who might be searching for the same information I was how to do so quickly. If you would like to get TrueCrypt install on Gutsy, the good folks over at the TrueCrypt website have made it pretty easy. If it was in the repositories it would be even easier, but this is about as close as it gets. No totally anonymous packages or fresh compiles against kernel source... Simply visit http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads.php and select the appropriate 7.10 package from the dropdown box and run it. It will open in a package manager you may or may not be familiar with. In this it is as simple as clicking Install and following the directions. You'll probably have to put you password in, then it may need to install some dependencies, but the beauty of apt is that it will handle that for you. That's it. :guitar: grkraviNovember 12th, 2007, 11:40 PMThis is not working for me. Truecrypt is installing but trying to mount the encrypted volume in kubuntu gutsy is throwing this error: insmod: error inserting '/usr/share/truecrypt/kernel/truecrypt-2.6.22.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module FATAL: Error inserting truecrypt (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-386/extra/truecrypt.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module flickerflyNovember 13th, 2007, 12:43 AMDoes Kubuntu use the same kernel as Ubuntu? Looks like trouble loading the kernel module. NIT006.5November 15th, 2007, 03:56 PMYep, solved the problem for me and saved me a lot of time. Thanks very much :) flickerfly

On 2007.1, I got the following error trying to mount a truecrypt volume after compiling it: insmod: error inserting '/usr/share/truecrypt/kernel/truecrypt-2.6.17.ko': -1 Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting truecrypt (/lib/modules/2.6.17-13mdv/extra/truecrypt.ko): Invalid module format truecrypt: Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module Based on a tip from a post in the Club https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-606247.html forum, I forced the module load with the following command: modprobe -f truecrypt After that, it worked. The man page says that the -f option tries "to strip any versioning information from the module, which might otherwise stop it from loading." So the -f option must be stripping out something from the truecrypt kernel module that is causing the above error. Now, for the latest Truecrypt version 4.3 - if it compiles at all, it apparently takes a http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?/topic/40781-truecrypt-on-2007-1/ really long, long time to compile. The Club forum post mentioned that. On my machine, Truecrypt 4.2a compiles in about 5 seconds. I tried to compile version 4.3 and after at least 10 minutes, it still hadn't finished. I got no error messages. So I killed the process. Either it's getting hung up or else it's taking an amazingly long term to compile compared to version 4.2a. Has anyone else got a successful compile of Truecrypt 4.3? If so, what was your experience? Did you need to do a modprobe -f to get an encrypted volume mounted or created? 0 Back to top MultiQuote Reply #2 pmpatrick Mandriva Guru Group: Members Posts: 1,862 Joined: 23-September 02 Posted 23 April 2007 - 09:52 PM There has just been too many kernel problems with truecrypt and the devs don't seem to welcome any input from the larger OSS community, at least that's what I've been reading on some debian boards. As a result, I've started using cryptsetup with LUKS as outlined in this article: http://feraga.com/library/howto_use_crypts..._luks_support_0 This has native linux kernel support and I've run into far fewer problems with it. It's worked fine on mandriva since 2005, pclos, kanotix/sidux. Had some trouble with slackware but that was probably due to not having the necessary kernel modules compiled in my custom 2.6 kernel.
