[SD4L-user] New (Linux) User Problems with Scramdisk for Linux 1.0-2

[Millen, S. <smm...@ea...>]

I'm a long-time Windows user of Scramdisk and have now purchased a Linux
box (Dell) with
Ubuntu Feisty 7.04, determined to make the switch to Linux.

I downloaded the deb file for Ubuntu 7.04, and also (when told it needed
the Trolltech libqt3-mt
dependency) the libqt3-mt library from the Ubuntu software universe:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libqt3-mt

After I did this, SD4L installed and opened apparently succesfully. But
what I'm seeing is:

a) I can create and open small (like floppy size, 1.4 megabyte)
containers created by either
SD4L or legacy Windows Scramdisk OK.

b) I can open small (1 megabyte) containers created with TrueCrypt (on a
Windows machine)=20
OK, irregardless of the algorithms chosen.

c) Containers larger than floppy sized (I've tried down to 500
megabytes) cause the=20
OS to lock up completely requiring a hard reboot after entering the
password and trying
to mount. This is irregardless of the hash algorithm,  encryption
algorithm, or file format=20
chosen. It is also irregardless of whether the containers were created
with SD4L or=20
whether they were created by TrueCrypt on a Windows machine.

d) When walking away from a container creation for "large" containers,
sometimes I come
back to the desktop seeing that SD4L has closed in the process of
container generation.=20
When attempting to create containers bigger than 2 gigabytes, I always
get containers of=20
2.0 gigabytes irregardless of the size chosen. Needless to say, all
these freeze up the OS=20
when I try to mount them as per above.

I see on the Ubuntu forums that one other user has complained about not
being able to=20
mount containers, and I also see here there is a problem with containers
larger than 2=20
gigabytes. However, apparently some users are succesfully creating and
using containers
up to 2 gigabytes, which I can not.

So...(and remember I'm a complete Linux newbie)...is there some other
library or dependency
that I've not fulfilled? Do I need to install something else? What am I
doing wrong?
