           Summary: Mounting LUKS-enabled USB key always fails with "wrong
                    passphrase" message
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-volume-manager
        AssignedTo: martin.pitt at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: martijn at foodfight.org
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


When I plug in my LUKS-enabled usb-disk, gnome-volume-manager asks me for a
passphrase.

When I type the passphrase, the device is not mounted, and this is in my
~/.xsession-errors:

manager.c/1033: Changed: /dev/sda1
manager.c/966: Added: /dev/sda1

** (gnome-volume-manager:7911): WARNING **: manager.c/698: failed to exec
/usr/bin/pmount-hal
Error: could not decrypt device (wrong passphrase?)

I setup LUKS like this:

cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 usbdisk
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/usbdisk
cryptsetup luksClose usbdisk
# then pull it out & plug it back in, and gnome-volume-manager asks me for a
passphrase.
