Since I wrote the entry, Truecrypt has come out with a gui and easycrypt took a while to update the task bar app to be compatible with the newest version. So I stopped using it for a while. An announcement 2008-11-08: Truecrypt 6.x - 6.1 now supported. I'll take another look sometime soon! Thierry, thats a good point.

Has easycrypt any interest now that Treucrypt has a GUI?

I had no problem doing this until I upgraded to Hardy. Anybody have any idea what's going on? And no I'm not trying to create them with FAT file systems, I'm using EXT3. @Easy Kill: I’m having the same problem as you (can’t create crypts larger than 2GB).

Seems like the current version (0.2.2.1) doesn't allow for hidden volumes, though? That would be a nice addition assuming I'm not just missing it somewhere. Very nice app – thanks Steven!

Try Creating a crypt on an NTFS or EXT3 partition instead. You can make Crypts greater than 2GB, you cannot create files greater than 2GB on Fat file systems.

My complaint with it was it wouldn't reliably create volumes larger than 2GB. This was about 6 months ago so I decided to try it again, it didn't work well for me. I kept getting an "OverflowError: long int too large to convert to float" On easycrypt, I looked at .easycrypt.conf thinking maybe it would have more config options but it doesn't. If you find any similar experience/solutions I'd be interested. Also, if you try forcefield I wouldn't let it adjust the sudo options for you - I've read it can cause some problems.

I haven't tried it yet, but would love to know your opinion on it. You should share your comments on the Ubuntuforums thread or email the creator Steven Harper, he appears quite open to suggestions.

Also, at the completion of creating the volume I get an error that incorrect password is entered. I have used truecrypt for quite some time and have little problem creating volumes and using simple aliases to simplify mounting and umounting of volumes. I like the idea of this but so far I've had less trouble typing a few commands than I have trying to use easycrypt. Also, I don't like the lack of configuration options easycrypt gives you. I'd like it more if the configuration panel gave you more than normal/expert modes that seem to make little difference (creating versus recreating volume). This seems like a nice polished app, but the functionality is too limited for me to use it to replace the terminal functions of truecrypt. just my opinion.
