Veracrypt is taking forever to mount a partition (Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS)
I had recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS (OS Type: 64 bit) everything works fine except Veracrypt. which takes forever to mount a drive. Once I waited to see exactly how much time it takes to mount but after serveral hours i still got the Please wait.
I had also tried starting veracrypt as sudo and then mounting a partition but it the same.
Anyway strange thing happened. On windows I installed veracrypt latest version (VeraCrypt Setup 1.23-Hotfix-2.exe) and it mounted the drive in seconds (actually it first asked that the drive is unclean and it will clean it, after that it mounted the drive.
I now know in Ubuntu I can mount the volume through console using
veracrypt -t --mount /mnt/backup/temp/dll /media/veracrypt1
mount veracrypt

It still toke a long time to mount the drive through console (don't know exactly how long but surely it was in minutes instead of hours but at least some what satisfied to access the encrypted partitions). If someone could only tell me where the veracrypt logs are to see them and know a little bit more about the underlying problem(s).

I had noticed some freak behavior of Veracrypt. Although it had mounted the first mount without delay but it is taking a 6 mins to mount the second mount. Maybe if anybody will share where Veracrypt log files are kept; Maybe it will shed some light on the underlying problem

Finally, I had found a temporary solution (remember its just a way around and not the exact solution), You had to mount the encrypted drive in virtualbox in Windows (e.g. win 8). There you can work without a hitch. I know it a long shot but it serve the purpose.
