[RELEASE] [LINUX] Truecrypt Mountscript

--- !!! UPDATE - v0.2 released !!! ---

Hey there!
I've just finished writing my Truecrypt Mountscript for XBMC (Linux)
As this is the first python script I've ever written - be gentle and report any bugs you encounter!

Download: Truecrypt Mount v0.2
Place this script inside your "homefolder/.xbmc/userdata/scripts" folder - for example: /home/myuser/.xbmc/scripts

v0.2 is able to mount Truecrypt Container files!

(Container support was was pretty easy to add ... I'm starting to like python )

+ Truecrypt command line options can now be specified

for example:
will mount the volume in read only mode.
Run "truecrypt -t" from a shell to see all possible commands.

Any kind of GUI-Design is still missing - so don't be suprised by it's uglyness ^^
- any good xbmc GUI tutorials out there?

Featurelist v0.2:

• Mount tc-partitions
• Mount tc-container files
• Password input
• Keyfile support
• Custom mountpoint selection
• Custom mountoptions
• Dismount all tc-mounted partitions
• Sudo password input
  

- Additional Information -

Quote:Sudo password input CAN be avoided by permanently adding your user to the /etc/sudoers file.

THIS IS NOT NECESSARY! IF YOU DON'T DO THIS - XBMC WILL SIMPLY ASK YOU FOR YOUR SUDO PASSWORD EVERY TIME

Do this from a shell:

Code:

sudo visudo

add the line (replace 'myusername' with your linux username!) at the end of the file.

Code:

myusername ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Save with STRG+O RETURN.
Exit with STRG+X RETURN

Warning! Your user is now able to execute any sudo command without entering his password!


A default mountpoint,keyfile,container and default mount options can be specified by editing the TARGET, KEYFILE and OPTIONS Variable at the top of the script

Example:

Code:

TARGET = '/media/tc'
KEYFILE = '/home/xbmc/mysecretfile'
CONTAINER = '/home/mytcfile'
OPTIONS = '--fs-options=ro'

CHANGELOG:
v0.2:

• Truecrypt Container support implemented
• Custom mountoptions ( --fs-options=<str> ,etc. )

TODO:
v0.2:

• GUI Design! ;>
• List mounted truecrypt volumes
• Cleanup
• Live Partition-List update after mount/dismount
  

Have fun - and report bugs!

super, been looking for this. Im a linux noob but im hoping you'll soon be able to mount containers and perhaps tell me how to integrate it in de xmbc live iso

keep it up!

Hey,
I've just implemented the container file support!

... as I'm currently running xbmc from within a normal version of ubuntu, I don't really know how to modify the xbmc live iso-version...
But I'm pretty sure that it's possible ... maybe I'll look into that in a few days!
- I'll let you know ;>

i just installed ubuntu on vm. I'll give it a try tonight.

tnx mate
