I also have the same problem. Mounting encryped external media don't work correctly for me since Feisty. In Feisty it was horrible. Sometimes it worked correctly, bust most of the time it didn't. See also this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/88213 Now I'm glad that things have changed in Gutsy. Until now, every first insert of an encrypted USB-harddisk/stick works fine. In my case that is a huge improvement in comparison with the situation in Feisty. But if I eject the encryped media and insert it again, nothing happens. No promt for the password, nothing you can notice at the desktop.

I'm the same opinion. If I start gnome-mount manually, it tells me something similar: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gnome-mount -vbd /dev/sdb1 gnome-mount 0.6 ** (gnome-mount:6526): WARNING **: Crypto volume '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_e6dff7d4_8180_44e4_a245_313a7c629f87' is already setup with clear volume '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_ed993252_5606_4872_98a3_43bea8e20a7a' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ There are two strange things I have noticed: 1. In 3-5% everything is ok! So sometimes (but realy only sometimes) it isn't a problem to eject and insert again. Until now I don't know the reason for. 2. I think it is strange that the output of gnome-mount (like I wrote above) contains two different uuids.
