2014-03-09 Thread oshirowanen
I have some important files on a USB stick which are encrypted using EncFS with the paranoia option. My question is about the .encfs6.xml files in the USB stick. If my USB stick gets stolen, should I get worried that the USB stick contains the .encfs6.xml file?

You should add (a + button) an international (search for this word) version of your keyboard layout (see the layout tab of the eponymous utility, in the System Settings). There is a UK international and a USA international. You then need to learn where to find the accents in the layout.
