Encrypting USB drives - Alex - 10-17-2014
I was trying to encrypt or password protect a USB drive and I found a video explaining how to do this:

As described I went to the Synaptic Package Manager to download the "cryptsetup" and it showed that it was already installed...but I cannot find it anywhere, do I need a command to activate it somehow?
Thanks

'cryptsetup' is a command line tool.
If you need a GUI tool (Graphical User Interface) you need toinstall gnome-disk-utility
Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utilityRe: Encrypting USB drives - Alex - 10-17-2014
Thank you misko. I ran the line you suggested and it did a bunch of stuff, but I still cannot find the Disk Utility - I don't understand why when I install something it doesn't show up in the Menu somewhere...
thanks

@Alex,
Try this location:
Menu > All > Disks

;D ;D that's exactly where it was! I know what you are thinking: Alex could not possibly be so dumb, well not quite, but close.
Thanks

Nope, not at all. I've easily had more than my fair share of duh moments!

Alex, no worries. Happens to me sometimes when I use Windows 8.
