** Summary changed: - Improve mounting of a encrypted device + [Hardy] Mounting encrypted storage media doesn't work with Dolphin
** Description changed: - I tried Kubuntu Hardy Beta with KDE 3.5.9 and noticed that the user can - only mount a encrypted device by right-clicking on the icon and choosing - "Decrypt" from the context menu. Beside that, Dolphin has no such action - in the context menu, so this works only with icons on the desktop or by - using Konqueror. If you simply click on the icon, the system shows a - error message like "The device couldn't be opened, because it's - encrypted". Why the system doesn't show the password dialogue to decrypt - the device, if it knows it's encrypted? + Distribution: Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Beta with KDE 3.5.9 - These two issues should be fixed: - * Add a "Decrypt" action to Dolphin's context menue - * Everywhere, where a user wants to mount a encrypted device, show the password dialogue and decrypt it. + I have a external hard drive which is encrypted with cryptsetup LUKS. I + opened Dolphin -> "Storage Media" and clicked on the icon of the device + to open it. + + Supposed: The password dialogue is shown and after submitting the correct password, the hard drive will be decrypted and mounted. + What happened: Dolphin shows me the error message "Could not mount the device. The reported error was: The drive is encrypted." + + Due to the lack of the "Decrypt" action in the context menu (see bug + #207047) it isn't possible to mount encrypted devices with Dolphin (KDE + 3.5.9) ** Changed in: dolphin (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => dolphin ** Attachment added: "Dolphin error message" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12893465/dolphin_decrypt.png -- [Hardy] Mounting encrypted storage media doesn't work with Dolphin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204913 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
