melloe · Posted: Sat May 01, 2024 7:42 pm Post subject: X for Ubuntu remix

Would you prefer to work with a full graphical interface for Ubuntu Rescue Remix 10.04?

The live environment has a very low minimum requirement due to the fact that there is no graphical interface (powerful command-line only). If you prefer to work in a graphical environment, a metapackage is available which will install the data recovery and forensics toolkit onto your current Ubuntu Desktop system.

The toolkit can also be installed on a live USB Ubuntu Desktop with persistent data. To do so, add the following archive to your software channels:

Copy the line below and adding it to your system's software sources.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/arzajac/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

Then authenticate this software source by running the following command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys BDFD6D77

Then, install the "ubuntu-rescue-remix-tools" package.

*** Help and Development ***

For help on recovering your lost data, visit the community documentation Data Recovery page, or ask on the ubuntu-rescue-remix forums.

If you want to expand the Rescue Remix's capabilities and features, please join in its development. Any and all help is welcome!

-Andrew
