Hello
I`m using xbmc from the live cd. I would like to acess my encrypted partitioin, which was crypted with truecrypt. I`m searching for some art of start-script , which would check, if a keyfile on USB drive is present, in antohre case would ask for password.
It should looks like this >

Code:
...

during the boot DO

IF (keyfile on /media/usb present)

THEN mount truecrypt volume on /.../...

ELSE 

check for password

timeout 10sec

   IF (password set correctly)

   THEN mount truecrypt volume on /.../...

ELSE

do normal boot

END

I do not know how to make shell-scripts or something else. But i know the commands for the truecrypt.
Can anyone help me please ?

This seems like a general Linux or Truecrypt question. You might have better luck on the truecrypt or ubuntu forums.

Yes , i posted the same question in one ubuntu forum. Searched the truecrypt forum , without efffor.
But in the XBMC comunity are many very skilled Linux users , so mabye someone find a solution.
If i found one , i will post it here.

You could try to buy a new car at the grocery store because they employ many retired car salesmen by that logic.

Because of my bad english I didn`t really understand zour post. But I understand the meaning and the irony. HAHAHAHA

So - some other people helped me , so the code should looks like this :

Code:
#!/bin/bash

while :; do

        if [ -f /path/to/keyfile ]; then

                mount_truecript_volume_command && exit; 

                echo no keyfile for truecrypt found && exit; 

          else

                echo gimme password or ctrl+c;

                read -s -t 5 PASSWORD || exit;

                mount_truecrip_volume_command && exit; 

                echo bad password;

        fi

done
