LUKS on GNOME
Erik, it just works for me. I have LUKS on a partition on a USB stick. When inserted I get a dialogue box asking for the LUKS password. I had to configure hal a little to give the desktop icon a good name:
<device>
<match key="volume.uuid" string="d23647f8-22be-4a8c-86f8-8f59975e9e61">
<merge key="volume.label" type="string">StickSecret</merge>
</match>
</device>

Erich:
Can you insert your stick and try to find out which application is actually displaying the password prompt? Maybe it needs a certain package I don’t have installed and falls back to the text mode prompt. Try doing a “pstree” to see children of pmount or so maybe? Thanks!
As for the volume label, did you try using tune2fs to label your volume directly?

Hmm, tried doing that.
pmountisn’t running while I enter the password. I did find an article on encryption support in HAL which leads me to believe thatpmountisn’t involved in the password collecting at all.Yes, I tried using
