Kubuntu doesn't mount encrypted discs

[hvoss]

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

When you connect a "dm-crypt" encrypted device to your Kubuntu system, the "device notifier" informs you that you just plugged in an encrypted container. When you click on this notification, it says to you that it "Cannot mount the disc."

If you install cryptsetup, everything works fine afterwards: When you plug a encrypted device, you are asked for the passphrase and then can mount the device.

Possible solutions:
a) The package "cryptsetup" should be included in standard Ubuntu installation.
b) When you plug a encrypted device to Kubuntu and cryptsetup is not installed, you should get a message like "You have to install 'cryptsetup' to access to this device."

This error at least occurs in:
- Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
- Kubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Alpha 3
- Kubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Beta 1.

This error still occurs in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Beta.

Still a problem? Last I tried this on 12.04 it worked fine.
