Comment 2 for bug 1722615

Thanks a million for the prompt and thorough response!

I'm really newb, so with that in mind, I came up with 3 different possible ways I can solve this:

1. Can you give me a stupid-simple complete example of mounting and unmounting a file from cli with a password? The examples I can find are insufficient. Here's my attempt at usingg the most specific example I found, from another website, where I'm assuming the file I wanna open is /home/USERNAME/filename, and my password is Password:

sudo zuluCrypt-cli -o -d /home/USERNAME/filename -m sdc1 -e ro -p Password

This runs into all kinds of errors, and the documentation is way over newb level, and none of the examples are actual examples -- like is XXX password, or a key file, or some other thing? I just need to move from browsing for the file and entering a password in the gui, to doing the same with all default settings to mount the same file with the same password in the cli.

2. How long approximately should we expect to wait for Ubuntu 17.10 Wayland-compatible package?

3. How do I build the git version of zC from source code? I have git installed, but again, am total newb. For example, I tried to build gnome-usage from git with tutorials, with both Builder and ninja-build or something like that, but ran into un-Google-fixable problems both ways. Sadly, I haven't built gnome-usage to enjoy the main feature that was promised in GNOME 3.26. I'd need a really newb-friendly or Google-help-able tutorial to build this from git. The upside is, lots of other users will be going to 17.10 and could follow the same tutorial.
