TL;DR: Not working on Kali Linux 2023.3

First of all:

Thank you for this awesome project. My SSD got bad sectors and I couldn't boot into Windows anymore. I got my whole drive recovered on Ubuntu with the use of gddrescue. But when I first tried it, my laptop was overheating and and automatically shutting down. So I needed to get the fan working in order to get it cooled while doing extensively data recovery. So I found your project. Now, for some reason, on Ubuntu I can't mount my partitions where the Windows data is on. I tried Kali Linux and on there I was able to mount my Windows partition. But on there, I'm not getting your project to work.

I successfully got it working on my MSI Creator 17 B11UH-405BE i9-11900H running Ubuntu 23.10.

However, when I run it on Kali Linux 2023.3 it doesn't work. I did the same steps as I did on Ubuntu 23.10. But it doesn't generate the config.py file.

It is the same laptop but it doesn't have the same outcome on both different Operating Systems.

I tried to copy the config.py file from my Ubuntu drive to my Kali Linux drive but I still have an error. Should I copy the ic debug folder too?

Hi @EnesPalit
Thanks for Tring this application. I am glad this is helping you!

For Kali, you need to run command grep ec_sys /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.builtin
If the output is kernel/drivers/acpi/ec_sys.ko
Then you need to do following things.

Add ec_sys.write_support=1 in /etc/default/grub
Update grub: update-grub(Manjaro) or grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg(Arch)
Reboot.

Try this and see if it works in kali linux!

Thank you! I will definitely try this, 12 hours from now.

If That doesn't work, then you need to do.

Copy both ec_sys.conf files provided with same path in the attached zip.

etc/modprobe.d/ec_sys.conf

etc/modules-load.d/ec_sys.conf

Reboot OR modprobe ec_sys write_support=1

etc.zip

Did this worked?

Okay thank you!

FYI:

I used the Kali Linux Live Boot version. I downloaded the Kali Linux 2023.3 Live amd64 Point release live image and installed it on my laptop from that live image.

i ran into the same issue, actually a lot, needed to copy some import dependencies into local include folders, but after making config part working i encountered this exact same issue, with same errors.
have you found any solution on this?

i am running nobara 38(fedora 38) / kernal: 6.5.11-201.fsync.fc38.x86_64

Any updates? Kali 2023.4 has been released. Will it be possible to get it working on Kali 2023.4?
