Software-update: Rescuezilla 2.6.1

Versie 2.6.1 van Rescuezilla is uitgekomen. Met dit programma kan een imageback-up van een partitie of harde schijf worden gemaakt. Ook kan het worden gebruikt om een harde schijf te klonen of de inhoud van een image te bekijken en losse bestanden eruit te kopiëren. Rescuezilla is volledig compatibel met Clonezilla en kan overweg met virtuele images van bijvoorbeeld VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V en QEMU. Ook kan het de grootte van partities aanpassen en per ongeluk verwijderde bestanden terughalen. De releasenotes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.

Release notes

If you have a blank screen, try "Graphical Fallback Mode" from the Rescuezilla boot menu (after selecting a language). If that doesn't work, try the alternative ISO image. Each variant has slightly different video drivers and Linux kernel versions, so often have slightly different graphics support.

• Adds release based on Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky) for best support of new hardware
• Fixed regression where swap partitions stayed unintendedly mounted causing restore and clone operations to destination disks containing Linux swap partitions to fail (#515)
  • Impacted Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) and newer variants of Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) and Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular) so on the newer variants since Rescuezilla v2.5 (2024-05-12)
    • Fixed related (very minor) issue where the operating system time on these specific variants were not being initialized as intended due to 'hwclock' not being installed
• Renabled Image Explorer (beta) after it was temporarily disabled in v2.6.0 (#557)
  • Switched packaging the underlying "partclone-nbd" executable from the "checkinstall" wrapper to a more canonical packaging strategy using CMake's CPack (to avoid bug in 'checkinstall' script)
• Enabled Firefox on the Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular) release after it was temporarily excluded in v2.6.0 (#556)
  • Switched to installing Firefox deb package from "packages.mozilla.org" rather than the "mozillateam" Ubuntu Personal Packaging Archive #506 (thanks engstk!)
  • The "mozillateam" Ubuntu Personal Packaging Archive now wraps snap-based packages like the official Ubuntu repositories, which remain incompatible with Rescuezilla's "chroot"-based build scripts (#364)
• Added ability to specify NFS version: NFSv3, NFSv4 and the (existing default) of automatically negotiating down #408 (thanks OAM7575!)
• Improved touchpad support for tap-to-click and multifinger gestures using libinput driver #506 (thanks engstk!)
• Upgraded to latest partclone 0.3.37 (released June 2025) from partclone 0.3.33 (released December 2024)
• Fixed some GTK theme readability and consistency issues eg, around the taskbar by switching from Breeze to Arc-Darker #506 (thanks engstk!)
• Added initial workaround to the "umount: /tmp/rescuezilla.ntfs/mount: target is busy" error that can block creating a Rescuezilla backup image or cloning on some machines, especially those that contain more than one NTFS partition (#561)
• Extracted out a separate Portuguese (Brazillian) (pt_BR) translation entry from the existing Portuguese (Portugal) (pt) translation (#410) (thanks hugok79!)
• Fixed ability to create uncompressed images using experimental CLI by accepting "--compression-format=uncompressed" rather than 'none'.
