That's not what I posted =>
All I see is #VeraCrypt. He's podcasting, you can listen with Android on https://fountain.fm/oi?code=ce25e6f91a , his podcast https://fountain.fm/show/m7qullz5GucrfjeqaB9l
You can use CryptSetup on #Linux: (assuming `sudo` in front of each command)
```
fdisk -l
```
Assuming `mmcblk0` is the sdcard:
`shred -v -n 1 /dev/mmcblk0`
where -v, verbose and -n, number of iterations
```cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/mmcblk0
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mmcblk0 opt
ls -arlt /dev/mapper | tail
ls -l /dev/mapper/opt
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mapper/opt```
Where we've named the encrypted drive `opt` and opened in the systems /opt directory, -t is type ext4 which works on Linux systems
```mount /dev/mapper/opt /opt
umount /opt
cryptsetup luksClose opt
ls -l /dev/mapper/opt
'no such file'```
Keeps missing =>

For some reason the post refuses to show `cryptsetup luksFormat `... Tried three times
What's a good place to get started using Linux? I'm not tech illiterate, but also not at Comp Sci.
I just got Ubuntu running on a RasPi, and gonna mess around.
I'm willing to out in the work.
I can answer but the keyboard issues are ridiculous I've tried twice -- I give up nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z
Which keyboard are you using?
The standard keyboard on #GrapheneOS
```Version 13
com.android.inputmethod.latin
versionCode 30
targetSdk 30
minSdk 21
Installed: 1 Jan 2009; 00:00```
Also, to backup my nsec key I need to input a passphrase I never set??
Common issue with that keyboard. Try using AnySoftKeyboard
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.menny.android.anysoftkeyboard/
I use the AOSP keyboard that comes with Lineage.
I'll try the one you suggested.
Thank you!
Works like a charm!
Thank you 😀
OK short answer is reinstall a *headless* Ubuntu server
Be ready to try new things e.g ipfs, nmap, nostr, bitcoind, ssh
[TAB] is your friend
This is the original post, remove the ``` as they are not part of the terminal command. You can try this if you want an encrypted external drive for your raspi, which is a very good idea:
Get the Libby app, a library card and read Linux Format magazine free in the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overdrive.mobile.android.libby
Also change the SSH host keys as they are preconfigured (the same) on all downloads on some ARM devices and it goes without saying change the root passphrase.
```
cd /etc/ssh/
mkdir insecure_old
cp ssh_host* insecure_old
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
service ssh restart
```
Change directory `cd` and make directory `mkdir` then copy these files `cp` using the wildcard for all `*` and remove `rm` then generate new ssh keys `dpkg` and `restart` the service with the old ssh keys in folder `insecure_old`.
Thank you!
