gddrescue

I'm new to BunsenLabs, but for the most part like it very much so far; it's fast as hell.

Also is there a working deb for gddrescue or something similar? It is listed as a deb/jessie on debian.org, but everytime I install it acts like it installed with no [Y/n] prompt; then I cannot access the application.

Re: gddrescue

Ooh yeah, this was on the 64 bit build, but I also had the gddrescue issue on the 32 bit non-PAE build.

Re: gddrescue

The package is called gddrescue but the command is simply:

/usr/bin/ddrescue

See `man ddrescue`

To find this information, I used the Debian package page and clicked on the "list of files" link and looked for anything in the executable path.

Please open a separate thread for your other problem, thanks.
