9 error ? Error loading Python lib '/home/kris/KWipe/libpython3.9.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/kris/KWipe/libpython3.9.so.1.0) :-(

I have ubuntu 18.04 LTS :-(

If the PyInstaller package is not working for you then just use the source package on github? Should run as long as you have installed python3 and PyQt5

kris007

thank you ... it works :-)

AngelusNoctis

I just tried it with Ubuntu 20.10 and its working. Do you use 32 or 64 bit? Cause the PyInstaller package is for 64bit!

It doesn't show me all the HDD / SSD drives and can't be used to erase data And they are clearly visible, but cannot be selected, they are unlit

AngelusNoctis

Hi, if they are greyed out it means that a partition of the HDD/SDD is mouted. Unmount and refresh it and you should be able to erase it.

Hi, is there a page from where I can download sources in order to build it locally? Thanks

AngelusNoctis

It's written in PyQt, just download the archive, unpack it and check the python files.
