Mounting a USB HD TrueCrypt partition

With the TrueCrypt GUI, mounting /dev/sdb2 produces this error:
TrueCrypt <2>
No such file or directory: sudo
\Device\Harddrive1\Partition2 mounts flawlessly with either the Windows GUI or console.
In Porteus I tried to create a new TrueCrypt volume with the 2nd partition. The same error pops up.
/dev/sdb1 runs my Porteus instal (latest version).
What do I need to do to mount the 2nd partition on my USB HD.

What do I need to do to mount the 2nd partition on my USB HD.
i would try 3 things:
a) install sudo
b) start truecrypt with 'ktsuss truecrypt' command, if that work then you may try to edit /usr/share/applications/truecrypt.desktop and change to 'Exec=ktsuss truecrypt' by default
c) open terminal, switch to root with 'su' command and then start truecrypt
please let me know which method (if any) worked for you,
thanks

Thanx for your suggestions.
But, the steps “missed it by that much”.
a) install sudo
Installed & activated sudo
Error:
Administrator privileges required
Enter your user password or administrator password:
I tried “guest” & “toor”. No go.
I also tried my Windows logins. Again, no go.
I don’t know if the Linux & Windows worlds are the same for “user” & “administrator”.
b) start truecrypt with 'ktsuss truecrypt' command, if that work then
you may try to edit /usr/share/applications/truecrypt.desktop and
change to 'Exec=ktsuss truecrypt' by default
Started Konsole
At the prompt entered ktsuss truecrypt
truecrypt box pop up
I entered
Username: root
Password: toor
TrueCypt GUI started & successfully mounted /dev/sdb2
But...
Error - Konqueror
Unable to enter file:///media/truecrypt1.
You do not have access rights to this location.
c) open terminal, switch to root with 'su' command and then start truecrypt
Started Konsole
At the prompt entered su root
Password: toor
TrueCypt GUI started & successfully mounted /dev/sdb2
Again, but...
Error - Konqueror
Unable to enter file:///media/truecrypt1.
You do not have access rights to this location.
OK. I’m ready to try more suggestions.
It’s probably the best way for a noob to learn Linux.

You can probably browse to this location by opening konqueror from a root terminal too.
Code: Select all
konqueror file:///media/truecrypt1
