Thanks a lot! That did it.

</div>This could be due to not running cryptsetup as root, which I'm assuming<br>
you're doing, not having certain kernel modules loaded (aes, dm_mod, and<br>
dm-crypt), or not having the right version of libdevmapper.<br>
<br>
Let's start with the simplest solution and try to load the right<br>
modules. This seems to have solved it for many people with the same<br>
issue:<br>
<br>
modprobe aes dm-crypt dm_mod<br>
<br>
Run it as root, and hopefully the problem's solved.<br>
