TIP: To start using Rescapp right know press the Menu button on the top.
This is Rescapp. The main Rescatux UI.
We are going to take a tour, through its options. The first thing you should know, is that you can always go back, to the first Rescapp screen, thanks to the Menu button.
If you happen to need help, it is good to know, that on the top part, of the UI the Support options are located.
- Chat: Opens the Hexchat window, so that can you ask for help, on the Rescatux IRC channel.
- Share log: Generates a pastebin file, from an existing log file, so that you can ask for help, in the chat window, with your data at hand.
- Help: Opens the help you are currently reading just in case you're not sure of something
Below the main menu and support options, you will find the categories. Categories serve as tags for classifying all of the Rescapp options.
You may want to focus on the Boot category.
Once there you can see the Easy GNU/Linux Boot Fix option. Clicking on it will show its information on the bottom embedded web-browser, but it will not run it.
If you want to run it you will have to click on Run ! button.
You have to know that options inside the Expert Tools category are not supported by the Rescatux team. Those options launch their associated programs so that it's easier for you to use them. Expert in this context means that an equivalent Rescapp option would be considerably easier to use. Some of those tools might be usable by non expert users after all.
Other tools might be found thanks to the Start menu. Once again these tools are not supported by the Rescatux team.
Finally we will learn, how to shutdown Rescatux. The powerdown button, is found in the bottom right corner.(I inside O).
You will then be prompted, what you want to do. Either you will select Shutdown, to turn off your computer, or reboot to use it immediately.
Finally you are asked, to remove the media (cd/dvd or usb), from your computer and press ENTER to continue, so that the computer can be shutdown or rebooted.
TIP: If you wait for two minutes after pressing either the shutdown or reboot buttons and that specific text does not show and the computer does not turn off or reboot then please remove the media (cd/dvd or usb), from your computer and press ENTER.
TIP: To start using Rescapp right know press the Menu button on the top.
If you have read the option documentation and you are unsure if you will be able to answer all of the questions is going to ask you please click on the Chat option before running it.
Why? Because while an option is being run you won't be able to open the chat.
Be warned that anyone can access the chat and even impersonate adrian15 the Rescatux main developer.
Be cautious with advice given in the chat.
Available methods:
This is one of the easiest way of getting an Internet connection in Rescatux. Just plug into your computer an ethernet cable.
This means using your Android or iPhone smartphone to share its internet connection via usb to the computer which it's running Rescatux.
E.g. for Android:
- Connect your smartphone via the USB charger into your Rescatux computer.
- USB tethering will appear as a notification in your smartphone.
- Click on the notification to toggle it on.
Having an internet connection will enable you to ask you help online.
We do not recommend this option because it involves downloading another iso.
You can check http://rescatux.sourceforge.net/repo/README.non-free.html from another computer if you want more details.
Alternatively you can use the chat link from Rescatux page from another computer or device.
A flesh-based device (usually a human) will have to type manually data from Rescatux computer to the other device chat window.
