A couple months back I had an old 350 gb Transcend external drive I forgot about and on a whim, installed Ubuntu on it. After using it for a couple months I decided to ditch Windows all together and installed Ubuntu on my laptop permanently, a decision I have no regrets over.
Now, the problem. There are some files on the external drive I want, the drive is encrypted. When I plug the drive in, it mounts, in the drive is an icon,
Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop, when I double click it, a window pops up and closes so quickly I can not see what it is, I assumed it would prompt me for a password or something but it doesn't.
I have searched to try and find a solution, I am currently digging through my copy of the Linux Bible and other resources but have so far come up empty. I don't have the skills yet, but I'm working on it, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
