Hello
I used the wikipage to address the problem where loop module does not load.

# tee /etc/modules-load.d/truecrypt.conf <<< "loop"
{{Note|As of udev 181-5, the loop device module is no longer auto-loaded, and the procedure described here is necessary.}}
I am using a stock kernel. I tried to use sudo to run truecrypt and it failed to setup a loop device. I did a check of lsmod output and loop was not loaded after I made the truecrypt.conf change.
After I modprobe loop by hand truecrypt would work and the encrypted drive would be mounted on /mnt/truecrypt1. Is there something which needs to edited to the wiki page regarding truecrypt.conf? It does not seem to work, and it seems that manually loading the module is required.

This change only affects the system on boot. modules-load.d is searched upon boot and all modules listed are loaded. Have you tried rebooting after creating the truecrypt.conf file? --Sean
