And thanks for your input, I appreciate your help.
I dont think I am missing any steps, but here I will do a play by play of what I click/select/press etc. As I mentioned on my original post, I've been able to perform restores succesfully using the regular bconsole, but the GUI would be nice use.
- I open wx-console, and it connects to my bacula director, and it lists the list of available commands.
- Next I click on the restore tab.
- Next I click on "enter restore mode" and the listboxes are enabled and populated.
- Next I select one of the Job Names that are on the first listbox. "RestoreITFD" and automatically, the client (IT-FD) gets listed and selected, so does the fileset (IT-FD-SET) so does the pool (default) the storage (File) and the before (sets to the current time and date) then I click OK at the bottom of the screen and it switches to the a screen divided into two, the left side shows it-fd with a red X to the left, if I right click on it it the X turns to a green check mark, no matter what I do, the right side of the screen shows NOTHING at all, no file names, no drives, no directories, nothing....
- Next I try clicking on RESTORE at the top of the page and thats when the "unexpected restore question" window comes up, I leave it blank, or whatever I type in the box, the wx-console crashes and thats the end of that...
I hope this more detailed account of what happens helps,
Thanks to all,
Orallo

If I interpret your description of your actions literally, you started the
wx-console, began the restore operation, did _not_ select any files for
restore, then told wx-console to restore the files you selected. While
I agree that a more intelligent error message would be nice, you do need
to select files to restore.
I spent a good deal of time on Friday teaching a client how to use
wx-console, and I can therefore assure you that it _does_ work. It is
a little rough around the edges though.
I agree with Dan as well. Try the restore operation on bconsole. If that
works, then you've either got a flawed wx-console install, or you're "doing
it wrong" ;)
