Installation of DDrescue-GUI
Before installing DDrescue, add the required repositories with the following command.
[email protected]:~# add-apt-repository ppa:hamishmb/myppa
This PPA contains all stable versions of my packages, and is recommended for use.
If you' re using a version of Ubuntu newer than those supported yet, use the packages for the most recent version of Ubuntu supported.
If you' re using an older, unsupported distribution, you should upgrade. However, if you really must do it, use the package for the oldest version of Ubuntu supported, but please be aware that I don' t test software on unsupported versions, so your mileage may vary.
