Ubuntu 9-04 jaunty how to mount encrypted ext4

Asked by Michal Dziczkowski

some time ago I had created an encrypted ext4 partition on with I placed all user files. After the system load I wanted to mount the partition but haven't seen it neither on the desktop or menu. When I launched the Disk Utility, the partition is "Unknown" and the partition type is still linux (0x83).

I include the snapshoot and ask for urgent support.

This looks more like a support question than a bug to me, or possibly a missing feature request. Please provide more information, such as how you created the encrypted partition, so that people can better help you.

See "What is a Bug?" here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs

If you can identify an actual bug and provide enough information to enable fixing it, please do file another bug report. Thanks.
