- First off, cryptsetup can't be installed because of conflicts with Libc6-dev. Forcing libc6-dev in Synaptic was the workaround I eventually found.
- Second, when I did it said I could only do it with the -ff flag (force). I did this, but it's worrying.
Code: Select all
VOLUME=/dev/mapper/sda2_crypt
- The worst one, was that when I ran it would crash the live environment! It completely froze up and required a hard reboot. Extracting it on another computer and then moving it over via
