I would like to announce that I have moved ddrutility to sourceforge.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddrutility/

I will still reply to posts on here as I get them, but any further work will...

I currently use xubuntu for my programming (in vmware), and can install ddrutility 1.6 on both 32 and 64 bit versions of 12.04. I will have to download and install the regular ubuntu 12.04 to test...

I have definitely not given up. But the project is at a crawl right now while my brain tries to learn how to code C. I am trying to learn it fast, and that doesn't always work out so well. I have...

I ended up having to work some crazy overtime at my job for awhile, and so have not worked on this project for a few months or so. I have very recently had a career change with much more reasonable...

That sounds like an excellent plan. You will have a full backup to work with if the original can't be repaired. Just a side note... if the data is important enough and it isn't recovering easy,...

If it ends up that you need to perform a rescue, then you really need to look at the help pages for gnuddrescue and figure out how to use that first as it will do what you need. If you search some ...

That is awesome! It might be some time before I am happy with it enough for a public release like that. It might be some time before I can find enough time to work on it more due to outside factors....

Alpha version of ddrntfsbitmap released. It seems to work, but could really use some real world testing with report of results. I wouldn't use it on any critical data until after you have tested it...

I just had a few minutes to do a quick test on a real 250gb drive with both versions and did see that your second version was slower by a bit. But still under 1/4 second for both in my virtual world...

I am sorry that I have not had time to do any tests, or anything else for that matter. I have been sick all week, and work decided that since I am sick it is a good time to make me work crazy...

It would seem we think alike. I was actually going to do something like that for my bash script. But when I realized how slow it really was I just decided to stick with the very basics to ask help...

Oops, I was supposed to include a small sample bitmap file that I was using. I have updated the attachment to include it. But I think you did what I needed already! As a matter of fact I think you...

I have been working on a new utility that could potentially use ddrescue to read only the used portion of a NTFS disk. It works by extracting the bitmap file and then creating a custom logfile to...

Version 1.6 released.

This version fixes a bug where the logfile is not process correctly (or at all). This bug seems to only be with an incomplete rescue.


version 1.6
* Fixed bug where...

Version 1.5 released. Many improvements, the biggest being improved speed and reconstructed output files. Please report any bugs/errors/typos before Ubuntu 12.10 comes out in October so that I can...

Awhile back I had an email conversation with someone that had some suggestions and comments about ddrescue. Some of those ideas made it into this next release, so I figured it would be nice to post...

Version 1.4 is released. New features include HFS+ support and the ability to change sector size.

Note that I do not own or have access to a Mac, so HFS+ support was tested using gparted to...

I am very happy that my program has made it onto the latest release of Ubuntu Rescue Remix! I never quite expected something like that would happen when I wrote it.

I quite honestly only have...

I would like to say thanks for all the good answers and info. I have managed to upload a package to a PPA. It was a learning experience for sure, if not a somewhat painful one. I am just now hoping...

Every step forward seems to bring more questions.

First, you mean that the .changes file and the other files that are listed in the .changes file (currently .dsc, .orig.tar.gz, and .debian.tar.gz...

Been there already, followed the how to links and it does a wonderful job of telling me how to download the HELLO source and repackage it. Not much help at how to do my own from scratch as a...

I have created a single bash script that I would like to be able to turn into a Debian source package so that it can be uploaded to a PPA. I have searched and read, over and over and over again, and...

I wondered about that. So now I ran chown and chmod recursively on the entire source folder before building the package. It still doesn't install with the software center not being online. It seems...

Update: Moved file to first post

Here is my first attempt at a .deb file.
Updated: made the owner root before creating package.

I think I found the issue that was preventing Ubuntu Software Center from installing my deb package. It seems that the software center must have an internet connection before it will install...
