Rescuezilla

Rescuezilla

 

Rescuezilla is a specialist Ubuntu-based distribution designed for system rescue tasks, including backups and system restoration. 

The project's latest release, version 2.6, updates the base Ubuntu operating system, offers a fix for booting on machines with Windows 11, and updates the partition management tools. 

"Updated the UEFI Secure Boot shim package to v1.58 after a Windows 11 update revoked older shims by incrementing the minimum "SBAT generation". 

 

This fixes any 'SBAT self-check failed' errors to ensure Rescuezilla continues boot on UEFI Secure Boot enabled systems which require the latest 'SBAT generation'. 

This also fixes the 'revoked UEFI bootloader' message warning when creating a bootable USB stick using Rufus. 

Replaced Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) and Ubuntu 22.10 (Lunar) builds with build based on Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular) for best support of new hardware. 

 

Temporarily does not include Mozilla Firefox on Oracular release until switched to new source.

 Image Explorer (beta) temporarily out-of-service across variants. 

Fixed querying drives with the Bionic 32-bit version, which broke since Rescuezilla v2.5 due to using the --merge feature introduced in util-linux v2.34."
