Sorry missed the first call for help, yes I'd try the check to if you have the man8 in your path. The other thing to check is do you have the permissions to write to the directory?
Yes it has gone very quite on my part various things have prevented me from doing any work on the project for a very long time.
It needs a major update to handle ext3 and of course ext4.
That said it is still...

OK - when you get that error message it should drop you to the text based GUI.
If you look at the top level directory of the files you downloaded from SourceForge you see a file call "lde" this is the precomplied version. You can run this by going to the top level directory of where you unpacked lde and execute the following command ./lde /dev/hda2

I had a look at the source the first error message is only an ext2fs warning message it should not stop the GUI from coming up. If you are seeing this warning for all those other file system LDE is becoming confused.
Have you tried /dev/hda LDE should complain and then do a RAW access of the disc. the B command should work. Had a quick look at the PLOP page it could do things that could confuse...

LDE has two modes the option you used last "lde -I 1 -N 10 /dev/hda4" is just console based and will not bring up the lde interface.
On the first part if lde finds something it doesn't understand it gives up - mainly as a safety precaution it can and will if miss used destroy a disk.
Is your disk unmounted when you try this?
Is your disk part of logical array?
Have you run fsck to...

LDE does not understand NTFS partitions. You would be able to dump blocks of disc space or search though the disk looking for a string. But to actual repair and NTFS partition I believe LDE has no support for this. It didn't last time I worked on the code.
Hope this helps.

Sorry one more comment you can't get back because what was the root dir inode is toast. It looks like looking at your listing that a couple of Inodes are invalid. The root inode is number 2.
After rereading your post what happens when select Inode 2?.

OK found the old talk have a look see if any of this helps
http://www.luv.asn.au/overheads/stuff/undelete%20p16.html
We a talking the copy command here a the recover will no help at all. I would try the t command to see if thinks the file makes sense.
Againg if the inode is garbage you will get garbage out of your files. If some of the Inode is OK you may get enough to work with.
Pop...

H i Richard you have a very sick disk - but you knew that all ready. I will have to have a look back over my old notes to see if I can help. What you want to do can be done and does work but it depends on the inode being at least valid. LDE has found valid directories and some inodes. The fact you can step into another directory is a good sign. The code pulls the inode out of the current...

As you point out ext3 is ext2 with journaling. But one of the changes that had to be made to keep the system sane after a crash and to allow restarts without the need fsck was to remove some of information from the deleted inode that my code and others used to find the data on the disk. This limits LDE's ability to recover data quickly on an ext3 disk. The end result that is much hard to recover...

It may be common knowledge but I thought I had better post it anyway. I have been asked often in the past does LDE work with ext3. I have answered maybe, not sure etc in the past. In looking at other projects I have come across this piece of information that limits LDE's efectiveness on recovering files from an ext3 disk. Ext3 zero's the Inode's block records this I have read is to allow...
