How to install Gnome tools?
Hi
I am an Ubuntu newbie and I was successfully able to create a rescue USB using the .iso file listed on the main page. Thanks for that!
However, I've been trying to install the Gnome tools and seem to not be having any success. I am running Jaunty 9.04 on an MSI Wind Netbook (Intel Atom).
Here's what i did:
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d ddrescue-sources.list
I added the following to the this file and saved it:
## Added to include ddrescue and other data recovery tools
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/arzajac/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Then I ran:
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-rescue-remix-tools
And the output is as follows:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-rescue-remix-tools
Am I missing something? I also tried adding the same lines directly to the end of /etc/apt/sources.list file and received the same result.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Hi Ira.
Once you modify the /etc/apt/sources.list file, you need to update the package manager
sudo apt-get update
and then install the package.
Also, the first command you ran should be :
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Thanks so much! The apt-get
Thanks so much! The apt-get install worked like a charm!

Actually, there was a typo in my first command. (It was missing a / after sources.list.d)
What I actually did was:
$ vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list.d/ddrescue-sources.list
The sources.list.d directory enables you to add an entry to the list in a separate file (extension must be .list) and keep the original sources.list file unchanged. It clearly works both ways.

One last issue. I am able to run ddrescue but but not gddrescue:
$ which ddrescue
/usr/bin/ddrescue
$ which gddrescue
$ gddrescue
-bash: gddrescue: command not found
How can I run the GUI tool?
Many thanks!

What GUI tool? Also, the
What GUI tool?
Also, the gddrescue package provides GNU ddrescue, which is executed with the command "ddrescue". To view examples on how to use it and other data recovery tools, see:

Ah, sorry about that. I read
Ah, sorry about that. I read the home page wrong.
I thought "If you prefer to work in a graphical environment, a metapackage is available..." referred to a graphical version of the ddrescue tools, rather than referring to the installer only. Never mind. All's well now.
I appreciate your help.
