Hi, some time ago I encrypted a 64GB USB drive with BitLocker on Windows 10. Having a dual-boot operating system with SolusOS Resilience 4.5 based on the Linux kernel 6.8.7-287.current and Windows 11, I tried to open it with Win11 but I received a very cryptic error message that I couldn't resolve. Searching online I discovered a certain dislocker
program for Linux environments that allows you to read the contents of BitLocker encrypted drives (even just to understand if I can format it or copy the most important data). After installing the fuse-devel
, mbedtls-devel
and ruby-devel
requirements (I already had the others), I was unable to configure cmake due to the fact that it couldn't find fuse
. I thus corrected the package name in cmake/FindFUSE.cmake
since eopkg it fuse-devel
installed fuse3
but this led to the compilation failing because the package APIs appear to be different from those used in the sources . That said, I wanted to know if you knew of any tools that can be used to recover files from a BitLocker encrypted drive on SolusOS (of course I have all the security keys and passwords saved).

- Edited
I don't know much about Bitlocker. Though, if you want to try to compiledislocker
again, please install system.devel
package first as mentioned in help center :
sudo eopkg install -c system.devel
You can also request dislocker
to be added to the repository by filling this form. Cheers !
