Spread the love

Version 2.4.1 of Rescuezilla has been released. This program can be used to create an image backup of a partition or hard disk. It can also be used to clone a hard drive, or view the contents of an image and copy individual files from it. Rescuezilla is fully compatible with Clonezilla and can handle virtual images such as VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V and QEMU. It can also resize partitions and recover accidentally deleted files. The release notes for this release can be found below.

Release notes

If you have a blank screen, and will need to “Graphical Fallback Mode” from the Rescuezilla boot menu, or try the alternative ISO image based on Ubuntu 20.04 “Focal”, which has slightly different video drivers. It doesn’t occur on my NVidia graphics card systems, but will still occur Intel and AMD graphics systems.

  • Fixed broken wifi after v2.4 broke it (due to a change in Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy leading to a key package not being installed (#366)
  • Reintroduced ISO variant based on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), to assist users with AMD/Intel graphics
    • AMD/Intel graphics still expected to be broken on “Jammy” variant except when using Graphical Fallback Mode (#351)
  • Fixed image verification for German language (broken for all images in v2.4 German language mode, due to a typo in a translation string) (#352)
    • Fixed similar fatal user-facing error messages caused by translation typos in the French, Danish and Catalan translations
  • Add the font to fix display of the cross mark character in the image verification summary
  • Fixed “stuck at 0%” progress bar when the destination is read-only (#363)
    • Added protection to prevent other unexpected situations from leading to the same behavior
  • Many existing translations updated, but also added:
    • Thai/ภาษาไทย (th-TH)

Known potential bug: When cloning, the moved auto-restart/auto-shutdown drop-down (#337) may cause an issue. On my test environment, auto-restart on “clone” mode (and “restore” mode) works fine. Please let me know if you can reproduce this.
