TCgui is a front-end application designed for TrueCrypt encryption software, simplifying and enhancing the user interface and experience. It enables users to access TrueCrypt features with ease.
In terms of requirements, users will need TrueCrypt 4.3a and Kommander to run the software. To install it, simply run ./installer.sh as the user (not root!) after unpacking the tarball. However, TrueCrypt must be executed with root privileges for the software to work correctly. To achieve this, add the following two lines to your /etc/sudoers file: Defaults:youruser !syslog, !logfile youruser localhost=NOPASSWD : /usr/bin/truecrypt, replacing "youruser" with your username. The first line will disable sudo logging for your user, ensuring that your password is not saved in a logfile.
This new release has made the software POSIX compliant for Ubuntu users. It's important to note that Ubuntu uses a different shell than bash, and the software has been modified accordingly. Overall, if you're looking for an easy-to-use and flexible frontend for TrueCrypt, TCgui is an excellent option to consider.
