[Solved] TestDisk & PhotoRec 7.1

[Rava]

PhotoRec
https://git.cgsecurity.org/cgit/testdisk/

v7.1 : https://git.cgsecurity.org/cgit/testdis ... d06f6f9fd5


https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2 ... h=testdisk lists testdisk (7.0) as newest supported version, but the newest is 7.1 .

Update - see also x86_64 xzm modules - TestDisk & PhotoRec 7.1

[donald]

What happens if you download the source and change the version number in the Slackbuild?
VERSION=${VERSION:-7.1}

[Rava]

What happens if you download the source and change the version number in the Slackbuild?
VERSION=${VERSION:-7.1}

Would it be that simple? Then I try and report back.

Update

How do I apply the changes?

I only see some diff info, but usually you get a diff file to apply, this
https://git.cgsecurity.org/cgit/testdis ... d06f6f9fd5
I do not get how to process.

Added in 2 minutes 49 seconds:
And for 7.1 I only see a tree
https://git.cgsecurity.org/cgit/testdis ... d06f6f9fd5
with lists of single files and folders, not one source tar file like the one with the slackbuild…

^ Danke dafür.

Slackers x86_64 testdisk-7.1-x86_64-1cf.txz is available, made module out of it, currently trying to manually resolve the growing dependency hell:

Manually checking via ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not or via ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not\ found

initial results

Code: Select all

$ ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not
	libcerror.so.1 => not found
	libcdata.so.1 => not found
	libclocale.so.1 => not found
	libcnotify.so.1 => not found
	libuna.so.1 => not found
	libbfio.so.1 => not found
	libfcache.so.1 => not found
	libfvalue.so.1 => not found

Manually resolved all, which magically gave 2nd results

Code: Select all

$ ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not
	libcerror.so.1 => not found
	libcdata.so.1 => not found
	libclocale.so.1 => not found
	libcnotify.so.1 => not found
	libuna.so.1 => not found
	libfcache.so.1 => not found
	libfvalue.so.1 => not found
	libcerror.so.1 => not found
	libcthreads.so.1 => not found
	libcdata.so.1 => not found
	libclocale.so.1 => not found
	libuna.so.1 => not found
	libcfile.so.1 => not found
	libcpath.so.1 => not found

Also manually resolved all, which magically gave 3rd results

Code: Select all

$ ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not\ found
	libcthreads.so.1 => not found
	libcthreads.so.1 => not found
	libcfile.so.1 => not found
	libcpath.so.1 => not found

Also manually resolved all, which magically gave 4th result

Code: Select all

$ ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not\ found
	libcsplit.so.1 => not found

Also manually resolved the only dependency, which magically gave 5th and empty result

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/$ ldd /usr/bin/testdisk|grep not\ found

Could that really be the end of the dependency hell line, did I reach the light at the end of the TestDisk & PhotoRec 7.1 tunnel? Seems like it

TestDisk is free data recovery software designed to help recover lost
partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms
are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error.
It can also be used to repair some filesystem errors.

Information gathered during TestDisk use can be recorded for later
review. If you choose to create the text file, testdisk.log , it
will contain TestDisk options, technical information and various
outputs; including any folder/file names TestDisk was used to find and
list onscreen.

Which GUI do you use?
Is it 3.2.2, 4.0, 5.0rc1 or 5.0rc2? I presume it is a x86-64.

Mine is 5.0rc1 and XFCE.

[donald]

compiled in port_4-xfce-x86_64 and also in port_5-xfce-x86_64 ...I think it was rc2
Same result with both of them.

Which GUI do you use?

?? GUI = DE ??

[Rava]

?? GUI = DE ??

Yes I meant the DE.

Do you have your TestDisk 7.1 as module uploaded somewhere?

[donald]

Rava, I simply took the testdisk.SlackBuild, changed the version number and ran it
with the testdisk-7.1.tar.bz2 source.
You can too, I suppose.

testdisk is a console based program, why should you need any Qt5? O_o

Also, no config.log. "See `config.log' for more details", yeah, right…

[donald]

One can have a GUI on QT based systems.


Here the File at filehorst -- port_5 -- GTK no QT stuff.

Ohhhh… I did not know, when first using it it had no GUI. Or I do recall wrong, but could be the GUI got added later.

Here the File at filehorst -- port_5 -- GTK no QT stuff.

Yay filehorst, my fav image and hosting guys, and high on my priority list (when I stop being so broke) who will get a donation from me (Porteus will be first, though)

And 4 downloads already, did you upload it just for me or was it uploaded already and you having posted the URL to filehorst in the past?

[Ed_P]

Your testdisk module works in 5.0rc2 Cinnamon donald.

uploaded just for you darling.

...now that it is publicly available, for anyone of course.

@ Ed
Good to know, thanks.
be careful with such low-level tools.
