| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28647427 United States11/28/2012 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No , actually im quite familiar with linux and have been using ubuntu for years. I've just never used native disk encryption on a linux machine before and not familiar on how to configure it . this isnt truecrypt . I did it during install with whatever cinnamon uses to do it . and Im trying to transfer music n stuff from my ubuntu drive and it said when I tried to access my home folder for the transfer on mint encryption isnt configured . So I need to know how to set it up to be accessed from outside mint. I assume there is a password or something or some interface ? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28686622 United States11/28/2012 11:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No it is ubuntu 12.10 I have on another harddrive connected to the mint machine via USB and the ubuntu drive can see the whole mint file system just cant access the home folder because of the encryption not being configured. Check that makeuseof link. It tells you how to install the encrypted fs utils. Looks like you can set a passwd with it. |

Yea , I actually did the encryption when I installed mint as an option but that did show me how to set the password . So it helped but now I just need to figure out how to interface the encryption from ubuntu to put the password in . |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28686622 United States11/28/2012 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey thanks man . now I got the password in I just need to figure out how to access it from ubuntu when I try to view the home folder Doesn't the ubuntu volume just show up as a mounted partition? I would think you could just copy from one to another. Just would need to make sure the encrypted home folder got mounted. This might help. I've never used one but think I might after this.

The place I used to work implemented bitlocker on all laptops. well since it's a bootable OS the whole file system shows up and you navigate into the home folder and instead of /joe and then my media it has these two files one is a readme and the other looks like the encryption system file but neither are executable although I didnt have the password set then but there was no interface just those 2 files |

If so, it should just mount unless the home folder was encrypted too. In that case the other link might help. |

Im on ubuntu then I goto the mint drive thats mounted first thing I see is the mint file system then goto home folder which is encrypted that has the two files and I cant access the music , picture ect folders to make the transfer from the media in ubuntu to mint. |
