DDD posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
Error codes don't normally change from version to version. Historically, Mounir has not been around to troubleshoot it, so it's left to us, and so when there are just numbers for errors, it can be hard to tell exactly what to do.
-
Is there still no progress on this issue? I mean, it's probably not good to use Microsoft Windows anymore because of AI going through everyone's files and examining the content, so that the search engine can give an answer to the user who is looking for that pic or vid with this or that sort of content. But it seems like a small issue with this issue with the pagefile.
-
Yes, but maybe someone could post a sticky of what all the error codes mean. Otherwise, I'd have to go through the source code and make a list myself.
-
If I were in your situation, I would use Clonezilla to make an image of my drive, and then I would play with it. I'd upgrade Veracrypt software, then see if my computer will boot, if I can open my files, open whatever. If there are problems, then I'd write the image back. And just to be safe, I'd also have made an image using a different cloning software, but making sure to make a forensic copy, which is important.
-
@jacek-kubek, I've heard of Windows writing to a partition that looks like gibberish to Windows, but in fact has a Veracrypt container, so I don't trust Veracrypt for encrypted external disks. I'd like to, though.
-
@milkdrinker, I know, it's a lot of information to read through on this thread, so here's the bottom line, as far as I can tell: The problem is that the pagefile is on the system drive, which is also encrypted. It's a problem with Veracrypt, not with BitDefender. Maybe if you tell Windows not to have a pagefile, that will work, and I'd be curious to know if it does. Otherwise, either put the pagefile on an unencrypted partition, or at least one that is not the system partition, or don't have a pagefile,...

I had 1.25.9 installed on my system for the longest time, and then after all this talk about encryption of keys in RAM, found out that I had actually not turned this feature on, mindless of me. Just think of how many others also do not think to turn this on, basically having a door closed but unlocked, easy for ElcomSoft to get the password. Anyways, when I turned on encryption of keys in RAM, I saw that hibernation would be disabled. But I also noticed that my computer would not sleep properly,...

Just to let others know that maybe Microsoft knows about this issue, because I find that Windows 11 is using the pagefile on my second internal hard drive, an HDD, instead of using the pagefile on my SSD internal drive which is running Windows. So that means, that data being saved to the pagefile is not encrypted. I think there's an option in the Group Policy Editor to make sure that Windows zeroes the pagefile before shut down. I tried freezing my system but it does not work, I think because the...

Again, it sure would be nice if Clonezilla could output text to the external monitor through hdmi by default, in case my computer screen breaks. Any updates on this?
-
Thank you again for researching this issue and supporting Veracrypt-encrypted volumes.
-
As I think I wrote before, perhaps the clonezilla program is properly shutting down the hard drives, but then perhaps it's the underlying operating system that for some reason has some unwritten data in the cache, so it feels it needs to turn on the hard drives again. So perhaps it's an issue that needs to be fixed with the underlying operating system, or maybe it's a command you can execute... you know what to do. :)
-
Nope, this does not work, as of 3.1.0.22-amd64 The external and internal drives spin down, and then they spin up again and then there's a chunk noise as power is cut.
-
@enigma2illusion Version 1.27 could be as long as 3 years away. @idrassi, Perhaps in the installer, have a page that states that encryption of keys in RAM is now on by default because of Elcomsoft's software, and also stating that having encryption of keys in RAM will disable hibernation and all the other ramifications, and that it will degrade performance slightly, and then perhaps some mention of possible other consequences. Then, an option that is already selected, saying "Encrypt keys in RAM...
-
Thank you for fixing this!
-
@idrassi, With today's CPUs, is there that much computational overhead? I mean, there are people who just can not or have not done their due diligence in exploring the whole need for encryption, and so there's a level of trust that people give you to make the right decisions for them. If you make encrypting of keys in RAM on by default, which I think you should, a more knowledgeable user can always choose to turn it off, but I think that most people who are on the forums, when they hear of Elcomsoft's...

@idrassi, I saw that you made a commit 937c5cd so that Veracrypt always opens the online help. I am not always on the web. I'm almost always in airplane mode or not connected to the web. I greatly appreciate(d) having the local help open up whenever I needed to access the documentation. I was thinking of making a comment on github on that commit.. but wasn't sure if you read those comments or if here was better. I see now that it's only during Veracrypt setup... but what if someone is not connected...

@idrassi I'd also be looking forward to the pagefile issue being solved finally, so that people can actually use their computers again in low memory situations. I'm glad to see you're more involved in responding to people on the forum. I sure wish that more people would get into using encryption, encryption that doesn't have backdoors. And I hope that more people will contribute the project, code-wise. Thank you for continuing to work on Veracrypt. But yeah, for sure, I see a lot of people complain...
-
@idrassi, It's great that you are motivated to work on splitting Veracrypt containers. But when I read through the forums, I see a lot of people looking for ways to recover their data, because they quick formatted their hard drive(s). It shouldn't be that hard to write a program to recover the data, right? I mean, as much as can be recovered. And from all the posts that I've seen about Veracrypt containers, and how sometimes they're no longer accessible, that sounds like a priority too.
-
@DimmY, I think the easiest thing to do is to use the latest version of VeraCrypt that supports TrueCrypt file containers, or a TrueCrypt system, and then decrypt them, move the data to somewhere temporary, and make new ones under VeraCrypt. I've only used encrypted volumes, not file containers. Decrypting a VeraCrypt volume, uninstalling that version of VeraCrypt, and the installing an older version of VeraCrypt, and then encrypting the system partition, is the method I have to use if I want to...
-
@crbrac, Wow, thanks for this. That was an excellent freebie from BitDefender, analyzing Veracrypt's code and even delivering a Proof of Concept. Fantastic. It hit on so many points.
-
I mean, I've gotten linux distros to freeze too, so I don't know what the issue is. Maybe it does have something to do with faulty RAM?
-
This is the first time I've heard of the possibility of logging in with a picture. Very cool. But personally, I don't think I can help.
-
Yes, my internal HDD was freezing using Veracrypt, even as far back as 1.23. Also, on another system running Windows 7, my system never used to freeze up, but then it started to, either because of one of those rare updates from Microsoft for an operating system so old, or because of an update to Avast antivirus. I personally am leaning towards a problem with some of these antiviruses like Avast/AVG, or Kaspersky Free. I use Microsoft's Windows Defender and haven't frozen my system yet, but if I use...
-
I would think that it would have been a hardware thing, because it's the same SSD, with the exact same operating system, not a different installation, right? Is it a different CPU? different computer brand? Yes, it's very sad. I wonder why more people don't want to help fix Veracrypt, but I'm glad that there are those who do fix some things.
-
:) And then it may be another year until we hear from him again, or year and a half. But, Mounir is always great at committing updates to Veracrypt when others have posted fixes.
-
Yeah, we all welcome news from Mounir. But honestly, what happens is we all get excited to hear from him again, and then it's another year or year and a half before we hear something again. Probably the fastest way to hear something from him is to post some sort of Veracrypt fix or translation or whatever using git, and then he will likely look at it and commit the changes.
-
Ah, thanks for the info about Debian and them only wanting software that is 100% free.
-
@idrassi, Thanks for sharing that about the ChatGPT and for trying it out. I really like that ChatGPT adds comments to the code to describe what it's doing, too, really like that. I hope you will use it to clean up Veracrypt, make the code more explanatory. There are a ton of warnings, I've found, when compiling Veracrypt and I hope this tool can start cleaning up the code. It would be nice to update Veracrypt, too, to run on Visual Studio 2019+. I don't know who NEEDS to run Veracrypt on a Windows...
-
Has anyone paid money to the ChatGPT artificial intelligence that can do code? It would be neat to see how it analyses and fixes Veracrypt.
-
I think there are bigger questions, such as why people generally have been hard to find to contribute to the development of Veracrypt. Is it just that people just don't know encryption software that well? I've been on the forums for years, and I think @idrassi is testing the software changes that he's made on his machine, but there are a lot of little touches that could be made that maybe would make a lot of people feel a bit better. Money definitely answers everything.
-
Steven, this is not you, right?
-
@mitsen20, Did you boot off of the Veracrypt emergency rescue disk? How did that work out? Possibly, you could take the hard drive out of the computer, put it into a hard drive enclosure, boot an operating system that can run Veracrypt, like maybe a linux distribution, and then mount the partition using your password, and then you can check and fix the errors in the hard drive - it's one of the options that you can right-click and get.
-
@Alex, there comes a point, though, when a person definitely wishes he would have spent more time looking into encryption programs such as Veracrypt.
-
@antoni, I think one of the major things that people are asking for, would be to recover a Veracrypt partition after having quick-formatted the partition. But also, I think there's a lot of silence because people generally don't know how to fix the major problems that people end up having sometimes.
-
@ajb87351, I would be curious as to which other developers would be willing to work on Veracrypt if they had the money. As far as I can tell, @idrassi has worked on major errors in the code, such as it not installing, but from what I can tell, he is a busy man. You might do better to find another developer who would take your donation and do more specifically that you want. I think one of the biggest pluses would be to move the code into one that works for Visual Studio 2019+. There are tons of warnings,...
-
@Angel, I guess you already did a surface scan to see if those were physically faulty, right?
-
I want to say that, in using McAfee LiveSafe, and opening my test file in Firefox, the system will not freeze. I thought at first that maybe it had to do with my Lenovo computer and the Samsung ssd drive. But then I installed Avast, and my system froze, as before. I still have yet to test it with Kaspersky Free antivirus. But I'm guessing that my system will still freeze. I'm currently using win11 21h2.
-
@scanhalo, What are you talking about? You can remove the software. To be safe, boot off a clonezilla rescue disk and make an image of your drive first. Then, boot into your system, and decrypt it. After you decrypt it and reboot back into your system, you can uninstall Veracrypt. This is the method one needs to follow if one wants to downgrade his version of Veracrypt or to uninstall Veracrypt, except making an image before hand is not really necessary, but is safer.
-
@staglaitor, I've been asking for this feature for a long time, to be able to decrypt a system from an external system.
-
@Bernhard, I recently got a Lenovo gaming laptop which cannot boot in BIOS mode, only in EFI mode. Weird, eh? But for NOT switching over to EFI... I can't think of any other than if your computer can't boot in EFI mode.
-
@bgalm, Not very many people respond on the veracrypt forums. I guess you didn't make a backup of your 8TB drive. Have you had any success looking through the forum posts as to what to do? If you have not written to the pool, and did not yet encrypt it, then it sounds like possibly you could recover your data, but i'm not sure how to do it. You could possibly reconstruct the header, or restore the header from backup. Perhaps you could write to mounir at idrix, email address on his web page, I think,...
-
@Bernhard, If you have an MBR-layout drive, then the whole drive is encrypted, I think. When you switch to GPT-layout, just the system partition will be encrypted, possibly the boot partition too, and most likely the 16MB after the boot partition. You should, i think definitely decrypt the system first, then change over to GPT layout. The plus about running Veracrypt in legacy BIOS mode is that the size of the text at the password screen is a lot bigger, and it gives you the details that you can...
-
@dark2412, What you can do is boot off your emergency rescue usb stick that you hopefully created when you installed Veracrypt and encrypted your system. Enter your password there, and it should bring you into Windows okay.
-
I have to post even just a dot to subscribe to this topic, because I forgot to select it with my first reply.
-
@ImAnIdiot, personally, probably the best way to get your data back now is to pay a professional who has experience doing this. Perhaps you can contact Mounir at his idrix website to see if he would be willing to do this for money, if he has the time etc. Otherwise, you can look through the forums to get some ideas on what you can do. Hopefully, as soon as you made your mistake, you made an image of the drive using clonezilla or some other forensic recovery tool. But honestly, I have seen very little...
-
@Zattoo, Personally, I wouldn't trust anything from China in terms of hard drives. I know that you can get 3 TB USB flash drives from China for very cheap, a fraction of the price that you would expect is normal, but when you start to use the drive, data just happens to go missing, and also the drive speed is very slow, like functioning at USB 1.0 or 1.1 levels, so it takes 5 days to run chkdsk on the device to check for bad sectors. But that's USB devices. As for SSD drives, it's far better if you...
-
I have an Acer Aspire A515-51 and a Western Digital Blue internal SSD. I was noticing that my system will sometimes freeze, even when Veracrypt and DiskCryptor are both uninstalled, so maybe it is a problem with the SSD or with the computer itself. I'd love to know what others have for computers (brand name, model) and model of SSD, because it could be as one said, that it's a power issue with the computer. I thought maybe it was an issue with CPU power-saving states, because I have often gotten...
-
Oh.. So you need to control the underlying operating system, eh? I thought maybe you had that built-in functionality already. I guess there's a program called "xrandr" https://access.redhat.com/solutions/971513 and a program called "screen" https://www.howtogeek.com/662422/how-to-use-linuxs-screen-command/
-
No, I meant maybe they're internal error messages. Otherwise, I'm not sure why one version of clonezilla can be so slow with restoring another clonezilla version. If it's my laptop having weird power issues, I'd love to learn how to fix it.
-
I just find that it usually ends up being the case where I make an image with one version of Clonezilla, but if I restore using a different newer version, then it can write back slowly, even if writing to an internal SSD drive. I often wonder what causes that. I'd love to know what I can do to diagnose perhaps internal power issues with the laptop, or if there are just constant error messages that happen that slow the computer down because one version of Clonezilla just doesn't work quite right with...

Maybe you can look through the forums. I'm not sure about this one.

Posting to a thread or starting a thread should subscribe me to that thread by default

After having used clonezilla over the years, I ask: Do you really need to constantly be updating the underlying system? It seems like there are always errors from one version to the next, like, for instance, clonezilla not using full cpu usage as the original poster mentioned. Do you always need the bleeding edge technology so that you can reach the latest device? Maybe yes, for some. I just find it a bit frustrating if I use a different clonezilla image for restoring as for creating. It would be...
-
@steven_shiau Could you please make Clonezilla wake an external monitor that is in power saving mode, and mirror what is happening on the laptop computer to the external monitor? If someone has a broken monitor but still wants to use clonezilla, then the user needs to see the output. Don't extend the screen, but only mirror. If the user wants to change it so it's not mirrored, perhaps then, for now, a command could be entered in the shell. But by default, I think clonezilla's output should be mirrored...
-
It seems that if I make an image with Clonezilla in one version, then write it back in a later version, it can write back very slowly, taking hours. I've wanted clonezilla to use all the cpu cores all the time, and to disable cpu core power saving modes. Writing a clonezilla image back to an SSD drive, from a usb C port, should take about 1.5-2 hours, writing a 1TB Clonezilla-encrypted image to the hard drive. Using 3.0.1-8amd64, MBR version. Is there a way to make sure that clonezilla doesn't enter...

For instance, @Enigma2Illusion, even starting this thread, at the bottom, the "Subscribe to this topic" is not checkmarked by default, but it should be.

@enigma2illusion I could not find the option to email you directly. Maybe you have disabled it on your account. This thread is directed at you. When a user starts a new thread, or posts to a thread, could you please subscribe that user to that thread by default? As it is now, it looks like someone has to always use the @ symbol to reply to people in order for them to know that they have a reply, because they're not being automatically subscribed to forums that they start or post to.
-
Yeah, I guess when you make a 1 TB container, it should fill 1 TB from the start.
-
So possibly to fix this problem, put the minimum cpu state at 100% and the maximum cpu state at 100%? But I think Windows doesn't honour those values. I found out why crash dumps weren't written to my hard drive and that's because my recovery partition that Windows creates was invalid. So, I had to decrypt the system, re-install Windows, which then created an additional Recovery partition which was valid, then I deleted the old partition, and tested out writing a .dmp file and it worked.
-
I'm not sure why you're getting that message, but it's most likely normal. If you're saving images of your system, then I think you're doing something right, such as Time Machine, because then if anything goes wrong, you can go back to an earlier image.
-
Perhaps there are system freezes due to Garbage Collector pressure. I've heard that it's possible that freezes can be due to this. When the memory gets low, that's when the freezes tend to generally happen.
-
Yes, that's what happens - you have to open up Veracrypt and decrypt the system for the warning to go away. But I'm surprised that you even got a warning that the bootloader was still there, unless maybe you tried to encrypt the system again? not sure. So you must have been running Acronis True Image from inside your running operating system, because it must have then saved an unencrypted image. If you want your image to be encrypted, then you must use Acronis' rescue media, if it has one, boot off...
-
I see that you changed over. I wonder who else. I wonder if Katrina, who started this thread (although the system freezing was happening before she started this thread) has switched over, too. Thanks for the info about gocryptfs and Cryptomator. Which program do you use for system disk encryption? There are tons of warnings when I compile Veracrypt in Visual Studio 2019 for arm64, but I want to compile it for x32 and x64 without errors, which it gives now if I try to compile it for those two in Visual...
-
So how many have switched over to something else? Honestly, with the amount of crashes I get when connected to the web, I'm going to have to check out DiskCryptor. Sorry Mounir. :) But my system is freezing/hanging way too much.
-
I opened a memory.dmp file that I created when my system froze, and I opened with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, and I saw the bucket id having qcamain in it, which is the name of my wireless adapter's driver, but when I disabled it, I saw that I could try to crash the computer a couple more times and it wouldn't crash, but then on the third try, it crashed, even though I had disabled the wireless adapter. So that's weird. Even though the adapter's disabled in Device Manager, the computer still freezes...

Here are a few files showing the output from compiling. I got no errors in compiling, by following the instructions, i.e. to compile All, Win32, and All, x64 using Visual Studio 2010 and then All Arm64 using Visual Studio 2019. But there are lots of warnings. I think I understand now, that in order to compile for Windows 7 machines, you need to use Visual Studio 2010 because you can't choose to Retarget Platform to Win7 using Visual Studio 2019.

I'm not the developer, but maybe it could be more a problem with Windows. Personally, from all the crap I've heard about veracrypt containers, I'm wary of using those. I just do system encryption. But you could always look through the forums or post an issue on veracrypt's github page.

Yeah, usually, my system doesn't freeze. I think this is a low memory issue.

-
Just a question for you all, but how many times a day does your system freeze? I'm using veracrypt 1.25.9, serpent-whirlpool, and my system today has been freezing something like 5 times so far. I've had to manually blue screen it. I don't know if it's because I've got an internal ssd drive now or what, but now I see why it's so frustrating - you can hardly do anything. And I don't think I even have keys in ram encrypted turned on.
-
I since used 1.25.9 and the encryption took place at the proper speed, taking about 2 hours for 1 TB SSD encryption, so I'm glad something was fixed between 1.23 and 1.25.9.
-
I don't know how much help I can be and this forum tends to have a lot of crickets on it, but perhaps if you search through the forums, you can ask others who are having the same issue and how they fixed it.
-
What changed between your setup working and not working? Did you upgrade to a newer version of Veracrypt and then you noticed that your setup no longer worked? or maybe it was a mac os update?
-
Mind you, I was decrypting veracrypt 1.60 using Camellia-sha512, and the system froze! I've also had the system freeze that wasn't even encrypted, so it's a problem with the driver itself or the Veracrypt program. Truthfully, because I didn't know if one or more of my files were now buggered, I decided to use Macrium to quickly make an exact forensic copy backup, and then write it back, just in case the system froze again. But that's important - to make it a forensic copy.
-
Yes, you would have to decrypt first, and then uninstall Veracrypt. I had encrypted my system with Camellia-SHA512, and my system froze while decrypting!! Now I understand why some are so frustrated. I mean, now I don't even know if my own file is buggered up now or not, the one file that may have been read to or written to while the system froze. But that was veracypt 1.60. Maybe it's Veracrypt 1.60 something in there that's the culprit, or maybe it's a combination of things.
-
@rostok, You're welcome for the quick reply. Usually, there are lots of crickets on this board. But the Win 10 updates work as the win 11 ones, so yeah, just update using windows update.
-
So, I recently installed veracrypt 1.60 and also was looking through the code, saw one warning for the twofish file, another for serpent, I think another for whirlpool, nothing for camellia nor sha, so I decided to encrypt using camellia and using one of the sha's for hashing (I know NSA is listening) and tried my test file and it freezes the system now just about 50% of the time, which I think is progress. There are a lot of warnings for the random.c file, so since this issue seems to happen randomly,...
-
It took my system something like 9 hours to encrypt using Serpent-Whirlpool. on an ssd drive. That's way too long. Using Camellia-sha512, only 2 hours.
-
@rostok, I know it can be a hassle, but sometimes you can find the information faster if you search the forums. You do not need to do system decryption if you update using Windows Update to 22h2. If you use a usb stick running windows 10-22h2, I've found that it's necessary to decrypt the system.
-
So I tried running setup.exe in the windows install usb while running Windows, to install windows thus doing a repair installation, while the hard drive was encrypted, and even though I executed the command "setupcomplete.cmd" while seeing the "restarting shortly" message made by the Windows installation program, the installation failed with some error mentioning SAFE_OS phase. So it looks like the system would have to be decrypted in order to do someting like that, unless I am missing some important...
-
It's defined as a WORD pointer array, I think, with WORD being some structure of some sort. Anyways, there's no need for CPU to be used at minimum when one is trying to encrypt or decrypt as fast as possible.
-
No, why wouldi t be related to the linux kernel? It's screen size. When at a low resolution, the text shows up as it would in the 1980s, that size. So there are certain windows that can come up in the encryption or decryption process, where some of the text can't be seen because it's off the screen to the right. Maybe next time I am doing it, I can look at which window it is. There are no scrollbars on the text windows, or how does one view text off the screen?
-
Well, you can change it to "Skip this step", I suppose, or keep the Cancel and add "Quit to Main Menu..." or something like that.

Using Windows 10 22h1 I think, and veracrypt 1.23, encrypting SSD seems to go slow, considering it's an SSD. I can see in Task Manager that 8/8 cores are used, but the CPU speed is at minimum, like 0.9GHz, and each core processes at about 18% while encrypting a 1 TB internal SSD. Maybe this is related to some of the code I was looking at. I was looking at EncryptionThreadPool.c and the .h file too, and was looking at the GetCPUCount function. So first, you have this #ifndef DEVICE_DRIVER, declare...

many thanks for reposting it.

Yes, I've tried it out and found that if you select it, it will proceed to reboot, but when you enter your veracrypt password and windows boots, it will say that the reset failed. It's good that I looked into your problem because it helped me see what was causing memory dump files to not be created when I initiated a system crash / blue screen. However, if you're doing Windows Updates using Windows Update, there is no need to decrypt. But if you're using a Windows installation usb/dvd, I forget now,...

@bh25, I figured out why I wasn't getting dump files, while helping another user on here. When I went to do a Windows reset by opening Settings -.> Windows Update -> Recovery -> reset pc. Even with Veracrypt uninstalled and system decrypted, still no dump file when I initiate a blue screen. I tried with the Reset Windows and it told me I had to insert my installation usb stick and reboot, so I did, and booted off the stick, and I did a repair install. So, it's different from a Windows Reset. I saw...

Clonezilla 3.0.1-8, x64, large font to RAM, MBR version I was writing from encrypted on external hard drive to brand new internal SSD drive, unformatted. Clonezilla was having a hard time figuring it out, using the Beginner options. I deselected one option, not sure which one, possibly one having to do with the MBR or partition table, and Clonezilla asked for decryption password, worked, so it was writing somewhere for something like 2 hours, and then it proceeded to do it all over again. So, twice....

Clonezilla 3.0.1-8 x64, large font, to RAM, MBR version So I was writing an image to my internal SSD, Clonezilla-encrypted, and I entered the decryption password and it worked and partway through the writing process, I cancelled by pressing Ctrl-C. Then, starting over, I chose the options again, came to the password prompt asking for the decryption password and I just hit "enter" or Esc or the space bar or something, and the password took and started writing to the internal hard drive! Maybe you...

This is an old issue, but still an issue. I was using Clonezilla 3.0.1-8 x64, large font to RAM, and the last few screens, like when you're choosing whether to check the image or to encrypt the image, if you click "Cancel", it does not cancel and bring you to the screen that asks you where you want to start over from. It may work when you do it the first time, but then if you go through all the steps and cancel 2 or 3 times, it will quit cancelling.
