  • PartialVolume (05 Jan 25)

    Fixes the s shift s bug The s shift s bug is reported here https://github.com/PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64/issues/301 To summarize, if no drives are selected and then the user presses s (lower case) a warning appears indicating that the user should press S (upper case) to start the wipe. This warning appears for about 3 seconds but during this time if the user presses S (upper case) nwipe would immediately complete, having wiped no drives and requesting the user to press the spacebar to exit. The is incorrect behaviour. The bug doesn't appear if the user pressed S after the 3 seconds elapsed and the warning message disappeared. This patch fixes this so that it does not exit but displays the warning for 3 seconds and then waits for input.

    Merge pull request #635 from PartialVolume/Add_font_size_toggle_to_progress_window ShredOS specific patch to toggle font size

  • PartialVolume (04 Jan 25)

    ShredOS specific patch to toggle font size This is only relevant to ShredOS and is disabled for other distros, as doubling font size is controlled within the terminal or window manaegment of the distro. When nwipe detects ShredOS it makes an additional command available to the GUI in the drive selection window and progress window (after the wipe has started) This command is 'f'. Pressing the f key whether in drive selection or progress windows will double the size of the font. Pressing 'f' again will toggle the font size back to it's original size. In addition and depending on whether ShredOS is detected it will add an additional item to the help footer of both the drive selection and progress windows. e.g. f=Font size

    Fixes a issue where SAS drives always respond with hidden sectors = ???, i.e warning. This patch fixes the problem so that a SAS drive responds with hidden sectors = not applicable.
