A. Ocannaille's questions

I'm currently working a lot from a windows laptop accessing through SSH -X to my Kubuntu powerfull desktop.

I launch my applications easily and it is way more convinient than a RDP in my honest opinion.

The only problem remaining, is when I have to launch a program that I don't know the name. Last time is was a PDF viewer... Was it Okular ? Evince ? Something else with the command name really different than the name displayed in the window?

I would like to open through ssh X my start menu in which I could search for applications, setting or file graphically. Ideally only the button.

If it is possible, What is the name of the command to launch that ? If not, is there another way to do it ? Or a tool that would do that (optionnaly another desktop environnement)? I cannot think I'm the first to have the idea to do that, but I fail in finding some clues on the internet.

Any help appreciated =)

I've got a bunch of photos that were on an SD card. Most of them are corrupted now and I cannot open them in any program (Gwenview, GIMP, same on Windows...). But every file browser can still correctly show most of their thumbnails. For instance, here is Gwenview with a photo selected that have a correct thumbnail:

I'm aware that the SD card is probably dying, so I already made an image of the SD card, with dd, on which I can work.

So far, my searches led me to PhotoRec, which does not work in my case: it recovered four useless photos and about two thirds of my ~400 images still have their thumbnail. I still hope to get most of those back.

What can I do? Any help is appreciated :)

PS: I'm on Kubuntu 20.04, I'm able to be root and I'm not afraid of the command line (but a graphical tool is still handy :D).
