Seems like something's broken on your system. Am I correct, that you try
to unlock the encrypted partition by using the prompt that occurs
automatically when you insert the USB flash drive?

Which desktop environment to you use (Gnome/KDE/XFCE/LXDE/...)?

The error message »Failed to execute child process "cryptsetup" (No such
file or directory)« indicates that the cryptsetup binary is not found on
your system.

Are you sure, that the cryptsetup package is installed on the system at all?

Please try the following commands in a terminal and send us the output:

# dpkg -l cryptsetup cryptsetup-bin
# whereis cryptsetup

And with the USB flash drive in question plugged in:

# sudo cryptsetup --debug luksOpen /dev/sdb2 sdb2_crypt_test

Cheers
 jonas
