GIVEN:
1. MX-Linux installed on a HP Compaq Presario F700 hard drive, with the
following software downloaded and installed:
exfat-fuse
exfatprogs
forensics-samples-exfat
Veracrypt-gui
2. Ventoy 1.0.99 installed on a 256Gb usb resulting in:
Partition 1 - Ventoy - exfat format - containing .ISO files, and
data a sub-directory.
Partition 2 - VTOYEFI - fat16 format - Ventoy code
WHEN:
Booting the MX-Linux system natively, I am then able to run Veracrypt
and access the usb Part 1, and select/open a Veracrypt file in the
sub-directory.
SUBSEQUENTLY:
1. Run MX Tools - Snapshot, with resulting <name>.ISO file of the
current system, and copy to the Ventoy usb Partition 1.
2. Boot the Ventoy usb, selecting the MX-Linux ISO: the desktop
appears, but with the following problems:
a) Double-clicking the Veracrypt icon yields the following "Attention"
pop-up:
The desktop file "veracrypt.desktop" is in an insecure
location and not marked as executable. If you do not trust
the program, click Cancel.
With the choices: Launch Anyway / Mark Executable / Cancel
b) Upon clicking "Launch Anyway" Veracrypt executes and presents its
GUI.
However, upon clicking the "Select File..." box, with the resulting
file-selection screen, and clicking the "Ventoy" partition name in
the left panel, the following pop-up appears:
Unable to access "Ventoy"
Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/<username>/ventoy: /dev/sdb1
already mounted or mount point busy
At this point, I have no idea of what to do. My knowledge of Linux is
limited to mostly just following instructions.
Please help!
