Hi

I want to check my debian installation with chkrootkit and other tools, but I found that I can not mount my encrypted partitions because cryptsetup is not present...

Is there some new tool to handle encrypted partitions or is there any workaround for my problem?

Hi

I need to check my Debian installation with tools like chkrootkit, but I can not mount encrypted partitions because there is no cryptsetup. Is there any other tool or some workaround? I use knoppix 6.2.1 on DVD.

I wonder why you want to use knoppix as a support tool for debian. Is there not a support/rescue cd from debian ?

I just took what I have at the moment. Today downloaded debian live cd, but have some trouble with it also.

Use main menu/Preferences/Synaptic and get your own Cryptsetup 2.1
You already have ckrootkit.

Thanks, now I get same problem as with debian squeeze live cd. I installed cryptsetup and managed to create mapping for encrypted partition. But now I can not see and mount lvm partitions.

What I did:

# cryptsetup create crypt-md1 /dev/md1
# pvdisplay /dev/mapper/crypt-md1
No physical volume label read from /dev/mapper/md1-crypt
Failed to read physical volume "dev/mapper/md1-crypt"

Same problem with debian live dvd. Will ask in debian-user also.

If PCManFM is your viewer,
you may want to look at your files some other way,
to see if the LXDE FM is part of the problem
