installing veracrypt on kubuntu 24.04 LTS

[Watermann]

Did some research before posting this thread but could not find a reliable(=up to date) step by step procedure.
I hope somebody can provide these steps or can point me to some website having those step-by-step instructions.

Thanks die.boer! On some other site I discovered something similar and then I got stuck on:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/encryption -y​

Why? Because after hitting the enter key, then waiting for a very, very long time, there was no response.
In the end (I thought after waiting some 20 minutes or so), I killed that install attempt.
What could be the case?

I would remove the -y.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/encryption
sudo apt update

Looks like the Cali law won't have any impact on Linux since it's "self reporting" age and offers to provide that to any application distributor that requests it.

Me thinks you replied to the wrong thread?

it shouldn't pause there,obviously. It could be for a couple of reasons...
try another option : download the .deb file straight from VeraCrypt site
then install with

sudo apt install ./veracrypt-*.deb

see if that works

Or download the deb and double-click it, or right-click it and Open With >> Discover.

There are always a half dozen ways to do things
