DDRescue-GUI

NO Disks Showing at all

Asked by Leroy Jenkins

Recently installed latest ddrescue-gui (running on latest Ubuntu 20.1). This is on a dual-boot MacBook with an internal APFS SSD drive. I heard that ddrescue needs add-ons to work with APFS volumes, so I can understand why it doesn't pull up my internal SSD. However, the program won't detect ANY external drives either. I've plugged in a bunch of good drives that instantly mount in Ubuntu but this program just can't seem to recognize them. Here's the log file, please help:

Hi there,

You mean Ubuntu 20.10? Could you post the output from:

"sudo lshw -class disk -class volume -sanitize -xml"

Please?

Okay, so I'm not sure why this is happening, but I have committed a fix for GetDevInfo that would fix the crash at least.

I can't diagnose further without commandline output though, so I'll close this now.
