1/9/2024 0 Comments Veracrypt ubuntu![]() I was trying to decrypt a drive that was not encrypted. But I wouldn’t have been able to see that if the drive was encrypted. I knew that the drive was formatted in ext4 because the Disks utility ( gnome-disk-utility) told me so. But before I could try to mount the drive in VeraCrypt, I understood my mistake. I tried again, this time booting the machine with an Ubuntu live USB drive. (I was actually surprised that the Linux drive even booted when the machine was set to UEFI boot.) Sadly, this change did not help: I got the same error message after booting and trying to mount the drive in VeraCrypt. In the Ubuntu machine’s BIOS setup, I reset that to Legacy (i.e., BIOS, not UEFI) and tried again. I noticed that I had booted the Ubuntu machine with its BIOS set to UEFI, with Secure Boot enabled. Commencing my own attempt at troubleshooting, I considered, first, that I might not succeed in testing this by connecting the drive in question to a Windows machine and running VeraCrypt there, because the encrypted drive was formatted in ext4. ![]() A GitHub post ( 2017) seemed to be reporting the same error for some non-VeraCrypt software. It led to VeraCrypt-related posts in Reddit ( 2019) and SourceForge ( 2019) that appeared to be reporting the same problem, but with no responsive solution. The error message seemed that it might be saying that VeraCrypt was not accepting one or more of the characters I had entered as the encrypted drive’s password.Ī search produced little insight. I didn’t understand the Backtrace information. w圎vtHandler::SafelyProcessEvent(w圎vent&) w圎vtHandler::ProcessEventLocally(w圎vent&) w圎vtHandler::SearchDynamicEventTable(w圎vent&) w圎vtHandler::ProcessEventIfMatchesId(w圎ventTableEntryBase const&, w圎vtHandler*, w圎vent&) src/unix/utilsx11.cpp(894): assert “Assert failure” failed in wxGetKeyStateGTK(): Unsupported key, only modifiers can be usedĬlicking on the Backtrace link in that dialog gave me more information: I got an error message that I had not seen before: I entered a password to mount an encrypted drive.
