Hi,

Thanks for reporting this!

Can you run "/usr/share/wxfixboot/AuthenticationDialog.py" from the terminal for me please?
You can open the terminal by searching for it in the menus, or by pressing CRTL + ALT + T.

That should start the dialog, and after it stops working, could you post any error you see in the terminal?

Thanks,
Hamish

Hi,

I'm with Ubuntu 16.04 (amd64)& DDRescue-GUI 1.5

Same for me.

Here is output of "/usr/share/ddrescue-gui/AuthenticationDialog.py"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/ddrescue-gui/AuthenticationDialog.py", line 178, in OnAuth
    if "Authentication Succeeded" in Output:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 31: ordinal not in range(128)

Thanks,

I will fix this very soon and release an update.

If you modify line 147 of /usr/share/wxfixboot/AuthenticationDialog.py so it reads:

"Cmd = subprocess.Popen("LC_ALL=C sudo -S echo 'Authentication Succeeded'", stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)"

instead of:

"Cmd = subprocess.Popen("sudo -S echo 'Authentication Succeeded'", stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True)"

Does that fix the problem?

You might need to be superuser to write to that file, so open your favourite text editor with gksudo instead :)

Thanks,
Hamish

Sorry, line 163 of /usr/share/ddrescue-gui/AuthenticationDialog.py! I got a bit mixed up, cos this bug also affects WxFixBoot 2.0~pre1.

Confirmed fixed. Releasing later today.
