This site has moved to www.hddsuperclone.com Readme for HDDSCViewer: HDDSCViewer is a graphical viewer for progress log files created by HDDSuperClone. HDDSCViewer is supplied as an executable, with separate ones for 32bit and 64bit. You CANNOT run the 32bit on a 64 bit system and vice versa (you may get an odd file not found error if you try). HDDSCViewer now has DEB (Debian/Ubuntu) and RPM (RedHat/Fedora) installers available. If you have downloaded the appropriate installer then you should just be able to double click on it to start the installation process. This method should even work on many live CDs, but not all. If you are unable to use one of the installers, then you will need to follow the instructions below to install from the tar.gz file or to run without installing. If you have downloaded the tar.gz file, then the easiest way to get started is to copy the tar.gz file to a flash drive, and then use simple copy and paste to put it in the Home folder that can be found on the desktop of the Linux install. When you open a terminal it should default to the same Home folder that is on the desktop. To extract hddscviewer, open a terminal and use the following commands (replacing the -x.x.-xxx with proper version number and architecture): gunzip hddscviewer-x.x.-xxx.tar.gz tar xf hddscviewer-x.x.-xxx.tar Then navigate to the proper directory: cd hddscviewer-x.x.-xxx The following method to install HDDSCViewer will not only work on a Linux installation, but you can use the same method when booting from a live CD. The only difference is that every time you use a live CD, you will need to perform these steps after each boot. To install hddscviewer, use the following command: sudo make install The "make install" command needs to be run as root, which is why "sudo" is included in this example. Your sysem may use a different command, or you may already be root. If it is not ran as root, then you will likely get permission errors and the install will not be complete. Note that you can also uninstall it with the command "sudo make uninstall". There is now also an uninstaller script that can be ran by typing "sudo hddscviewer-uninstall.sh". To run HDDSCViewer from the command line: hddscviewer To run it without installing, you must be in the same directory as hddscviewer. Note that some versions of Linux will not allow you to run a program from certain external devices (such as a FAT32 USB drive). Example to run it from the current directory: ./hddscviewer You may need to change the permissions on the file so that you have the rights to run it. The following command should do that: sudo chmod a+x hddscviewer If you are booted from a live CD that does not allow installing with make (maybe make does not exist) and you are trying to run it from a USB drive and are getting a permission error, you can copy the executable to the home folder and run it from there. Note that if using a live CD the home folder exists in ram and will be cleared on a reboot. The following example assumes you are in the folder on the USB drive that contains hddscviewer. The first command copies it to the home folder, the second command gives permission to execute, and the third command runs it: sudo cp hddscviewer /home sudo chmod a+x /home/hddscviewer /home/hddscviewer Please see the Installing and Usage sections of the manual for more info. |
