How install Truecrypt on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32 bit

1.I have downloaded the linux version from http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads 2. Right click on the file (truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x86.tar.gz), ->Open with Archive Manager. 3. Double click on the extracted file (truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x86), nothing happens.

Someone can help me installing truecrypt on ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32 bit?

SOLUTION!! The extracted file works if in the terminal is typed: ./truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x86

Solution 1:

Since the truecrypt website no longer contains version 7.1a, I'm posting this.

I recommend the truecrypt PPA I created. It contains a patch I created that adds an appindicator to it, since the old systray is no longer supported in Ubuntu. https://launchpad.net/~stefansundin/+archive/truecrypt

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stefansundin/truecrypt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install truecrypt

The version is 7.1a, and I do not intend to update to 7.2 because it has less functionality.

Solution 2:

you can also right-click the file and click on execute to do the same job from GUI

or from terminal "cd" your way to the file location and use "./" then file name to execute it.

./truecrypt-7.1a-setup-x86
