I just tried version veracrypt-1.24.update3 and root password was necessary. However, I decided to give it a try to what Andreas mentioned above, that that was the key. I replaced my sudoers configuration for verycrypt from: %users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/veracrypt to: users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/veracrypt, /usr/bin/uptime and that solved the issue. It is no longer necessary to enter the root password. I'm surprised the /usr/bin/uptime is now required. Out of curiosity, is there any...
@Andreas / @idrassi, is there any way to get the source code for 1.24-Hotfix2 from here? For me it's easier to build from source in my distro. I would like to check whether my issue is gone. Thank you.
Hi Andreas, I didn't find any Source file in thelink you shared, So, I pulled a copy from https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/code/ci/master/tree/ and built it. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same issue. i.e.g, when mount a volume in my home directory, I now require to enter root password. With version prior to Hotfix-1 that was not required. Reverting to such a version, restores the original behavior (no root permissions required). Please, let me know if there is anything else I could try out. Thank...
Hi, I'm having the same issue with hotfix-1 version: - https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64431 Reverting to the previuos version solves the issue to me. Any chance we get the original behavior back? Thank you!
