I use Veracrypt with a file-hosted (container) volume on a computer running Linux Mint OS.
Recently I upgraded the OS, and just reinstalled Veracrypt for Linux 1.26.7 (64 bit) GUI.
Veracrypt "sees" the volume in the same manner as before. However, when I enter the password it displays the error message "A critical error has occurred and Veracrpt must be terminated". It the invites me to agree to an automatically generated error report being sent back (which I have agreed to). Veracrypt then terminates, denying me access to the volume.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon installed on the computer (formerly Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon).
And I installed Veracrypt by extracting "veracrypt-1.26.7-setup-gui-x64" from "veracrypt-1.26.7-setup.tar.bz2" as downloaded from https://veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html
Hope I have provided the necessary information.
Thanks.

Please uninstall your currect version by running sudo veracrypt-uninstall.sh and then reinstall the gtk3 version, which should be "veracrypt-1.26.7-setup-gtk3-gui-x64". The one you have installed is the legacy gtk2 version which has been reported to have problems on newer systems.

Hello.
Thanks for your response.
I have Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon installed on the computer (formerly Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon).
And I installed Veracrypt by extracting "veracrypt-1.26.7-setup-gui-x64" from "veracrypt-1.26.7-setup.tar.bz2" as downloaded from https://veracrypt.fr/en/Downloads.html

All sorted - thank you very much!
