I don't use MATE, but I'm sure it has its own disk utility. But that's assuming you want the entire process to be graphical; you have more options if you do it from the terminal.

I'm fine with GUI or Terminal
What's the utility called?
Eli Stewart
Mate doesnt have an utility if i remember correctly. You need gnome disk utility. Or search on the internet how you use luks encryption
Anthony Nelson
I'm not sure of its name, but if you look around in the menus, you should be able to find it.
If you really can't, just
> $ sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility
Then you can run
>$ gnome-disks
to open the thing from the terminal.
There's a guide here to help you if you need pictures of what do do with the graphical application.

TrueCrypt
it was shut down by the feds
but you can find the original source and files from Gibson Research Center.

I would avoid any "Newer" versions, they may have back doors implanted by the feds

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXX herpusb
mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/herpusb
mount /dev/mapper/herpusb /mnt/porn
mv -v porn/ /mnt/porn/
umount /mnt/porn
cryptsetup close herpusb

just used gnome disk utility to make a luks encrypted partition with ext4 format. Whats nice about this utility is you can change the passphrase without much fuss. btw mint 17.3
Nathaniel Cook
format it as NTFS, lol
Luis Turner
it's not a feature of gnome disk utility, it's a feature of LUKS. the way it is achieved is that the actual key for encryption is stored encrypted using your password/key, so when you change the password/key, you just need to reencrypt the (actual) encryption key instead of all the damn data.
Jaxon Foster
Exactly these.
Don't fucking waste your time with TrueCrypt or whatever, just encrypt it with LUKS and that'll be enough.

What's a matchbook?
David James
This. Use veracrypt instead. But dmcrypt luks is also safe

How do you keep getting dubs?
Ans summer is over, go back to school already
Dominic Flores
yes I read that somewhere, it's just the utility makes it easier when you don't know the commands etc. Although this is nice to know thanks
