I am using DDRescue -GUI ver 2.0.1, it stuck at getting new disk information

Hello,

Thanks for providing lots of detail - makes my life a lot easier :)

What Linux distro and what version are you using?

Yeah, those older questions won't be relevant any more because the GetDevInfo-related functionality is a separate program now.

Do you have getdevinfo installed? If not, you can find it at https://launchpad.net/getdevinfo. I need to know what Linux distro you're using to let you know which version to install.

I m using ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

I didn't install getdevinfo, should I install it. Right now I m out, will revert installing it asap, any more information specifically you would like to get fr me.

Also thankyou a lot for prompt reply.

Yeah, you should install the python 3 version, then it should work.

Hamish

I did install gets v1.0.4 py3

Python ver.3.6.7 is already in use.

Still same issue persisting.

Sorry to hear that. I'm not immediately able to reproduce this on my end.

Could you open the Terminal (CRTL + ALT + T), and paste the following code in, without the quotes:

"sudo python3 -m getdevinfo.getdevinfo"

And then press enter. You may be prompted for you password.

After that has run, could you copy and paste the output from that command here please?

Thanks,
Hamish

Thanks.

This is a bug in getdevinfo that I knew about, but I hadn't released the fix for it because I didn't think it affected anyone in the real world. I shall release it in the next few days, and then you should be able to download the update and all will be fine.

Sorry about this and please bear with me :)

Hamish

Ok. Well noted. Thanks

Okay, if you install the new version of GetDevInfo - 1.0.5 - that should fix the issue.

Hamish

Yep Its Solved..

Thanks for Prompt Support.. :)

Excellent, thanks for letting me know.
