[Solved] Problem with Testdisk

General system Applications
1

Hello,
I am trying to recover some videos from a USB that I have damaged.

The application I used in the past was ‘testdisk’ and I resolved the issue on that occasion.

Now when I open the terminal I get this information, even though the terminal is fully open:

TestDisk 7.1, Data Recovery Utility, July 2019
Christophe GRENIER <grenier@cgsecurity.org>

TestDisk need 24 lines to work.
Please enlarge the terminal.

I do it as root and it gives me the same message. I reinstalled the app, with no results. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, any ideas? Thank you.

Did you try making the Terminal window larger? Drag the window to make it bigger.

Many times … not even in ‘full-screen’ … no results.

Maybe if i download another terminal, which one do you recommend? – this is the xfce4.

Most likely the font size is too big, try to make it smaller.

Could be, but if this is the case … than i need another terminal that allow me to work with the big font size i need for …

Some terminal emulators (e.g. Konsole, Deepin-terminal) allow increasing/decreasing the font size via a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+=, Ctrl+-). You can decrease it just enough for testdisk to launch correctly and then change it back to the font size you are comfortable with.
