DDRescue-GUI

Splash Stays On Screen on top of GUI - No access to GUI

Asked by Dave

Hi,

When I launch the latest version a splash screen/picture appears "DDRecue"
The actual GUI appears behind this picture and no access to GUI, the picture stays on top of GUI
I have to re-start PC to get rid of picture and close ddrescue-gui

I'm running Linux Lite 2.0 based on Ubuntu 14.04 with Xfce DE

Thanks

Thanks,

Yes I was aware of this, but I thought it was a problem with one of my development machines!
Since your distribution is based on Ubuntu 14.04, that won't be causing any problems.
Are you running ddrescue-gui version 1.3? If so, follow these instructions:
To fix it, you need to open a text editor as root, and open /usr/share/ddrescue-gui/DDRescue-GUI.py,
then navigate to line 123, which should display as:

self.Bind(wx.EVT_ACTIVATE_APP, self.OnActivate)

Then change it to:

#self.Bind(wx.EVT_ACTIVATE_APP, self.OnActivate)

and save it.

That should fix your problem, and I'll convert this into a bug report so people who are affected can see it.
