I have Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS but although I have been using Ubuntu for
years, I am a novice because until last year I had a FOC IT manager who
knows all things. Lets call him Tim.
What I need is to be able to do is to modify Tim's script so that it
finds the next free loop and mounts to that instead of a fixed one!
Hi there - fortunately for you this is much easier to fix than you might
think. As an end user I'd encourage you to stop messing around with
fragile shell scripts and just use the right tool for the job.
Veracrypt can mount old Truecrypt volumes and is cross-platform,
open-source, etc:
https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html
To test it out on your Ubuntu system:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/encryption
sudo apt update
sudo apt install veracrypt
It's a very well known program and there's excellent documentation for
it on their website and all over the internet. Truecrypt as I'm sure you
know has long since been retired and Veracrypt is basically it's
successor for all practical purposes.
Please tell "Tim" his script sucks too!
Ask again if you run into problems.
