Terminfo file is missing

[davidwilsonclarke]

Getting a 'Terminfo file is missing' error on running photorec from testdisk-7.0.arm-none-linux-gnueabi on a QNAP NAS box. I see that this has been a problem previously, and I can confirm that 'l/linux' does exist. I notice there was a fix for this recently. Was it missed from this build?

Thanks

Yes, the 'linux' file is there, as I said, but the program, when run, still gives an 'Terminfo file is missing' error.

[davidwilsonclarke]

Just tried testdisk-7.1-WIP.arm-none-linux-gnueabi.tar.bz2 and get the same: the 'l/linux' file is there, but still get the 'Terminfo file is missing' error message.

[cgrenier]

Is the file "linux" in a subdirectory named "l" ? Have you really use the tar command and not Winzip/winrar/...

[davidwilsonclarke]

Did the exact tar command as shown above. The 'linux' file is in the 'l' directory. Still get 'Terminfo file is missing'.

Before starting TestDisk or PhotoRec, run

Code: Select all

export TERM=linux

Does it solve the problem ?

[davidwilsonclarke]

Oh, I thought that was going to be the one. Unfortunately, it had no effect.

Does any one has a solution for this problem ?

I have the same problem:
"Terminfo file is missing'

I installed testdisk-7.1-WIP on location
volume1/Shared/public/testdisk-7.1-WIP
login with putty on my Synology DS211+ and start photorec by:
./photorec

And than we get the following information :
Terminfo file is missing
Extract all files and subdirectories before running the program

-Directory "l" with the file linux is there and I tryed exact by tar xjf

What else can I do please help me ?

[davidwilsonclarke]

I gave up trying on my NAS box, in the end. I have a kit which attaches to a disk, to turn it into a USB disk. I used that, then ran photorec on a laptop.
