Photo recovery software for Ubuntu (linux)


Recommended Posts

<p>Does anyone know of a GUI based photo/file recovery software for Ubuntu (linux)? I have found several command line based utilities but no GUI based ones. Due to some virus issues I want to shift our work computer from Windows to Ubuntu but we need software to recover images from corrupted flash memory cards. </p>

<p>You can install testdisk software in Ubuntu which I have used just now to restore two times formatted SD Card of some very nice family photos that I have recently taken.<br>

from console.<br>

<strong><em>sudo apt-get install testdisk</em></strong><br>

once installed in console itself <br>

<strong><em>sudo photorec</em></strong><br>

select the disk that you want to recover, then select the partition (most probably it will be the first one which is Intel), then select the whole disk option, then select the other option, then select the location that you want the file to be restored, then press y for recovery to start. Now have a coffee and wait for it will recover all you files. <br>

If recovered please donate to the guys at test disk if you have some money to spare for their hard work @ <a href="http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Donation">http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Donation</a></p>
