<div>1.) Reported by Mkurz<br />
<br />
The "Start Samba Server" does not create proper shares. The script /usr/sbin/sambastart does not write a correct /etc/samba/smb.conf file. It has worked in Version till 4.02, but with 5.0 it does not.<br />
<br />
2.) Reported by phil42<br />
<br />
UPDATE: This is not a bug. Previous behavior can be restored with a KDE panel configuration change. <br />
<br />
If the panel is moved to the top of the screen, hidden, and the panel-hiding buttons are removed, it does not reappear when the pointer moves to the top of the screen.<br />
<br />
3.) Reported by Jackobli<br />
<br />
Seems that the persistant homedir does not work properly. I can create a persistant home on my USB-Stick. But the home will not be loaded on the next boot (home=/dev/sda1).<br />

4.) Reported by jab (jeff@jab.org)<br />
<br />
Radeon xorg driver does not work with Dell 2405FPW monitor and radeon 9250 card; when X starts the screen goes blank and is unrecoverable (alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-f2 do nothing). This worked fine in knoppix 4.0.2 and xfree86. I can use the vesa driver (knoppix lang=us xmodule=vesa) but that really limits my screen resolution.<br />
<br />
5.) Reported by MrMoor <br />
<br />
"knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hdc3/KNOPPIX_V5*.iso" does not work. During boot I get:<br />
<br />
Accessing KNOPPIX DVD at /cdrom2.loop/KNOPPIX_V5*.iso...ERROR: Module cloop is in use<br />
umount: Device or resource is busy<br />
insmod: error inserting '/cdrom/boot/modules/cloop.ko': -1 File exists<br />
insmod: can't read '/modules/cloop.ko': no such file or directory<br />
Found primary KNOPPIX compressed image at /cdrom2/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.<br />
ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Device or resource busy<br />
<br />
and it continues to boot from DVD. hdc3/KNOPPIX_V5.0DVD-2006-02-25-EN.iso is -rwxr-xr-x KNOPPIX:KNOPPIX on ext3.<br />
<br />
6.) Reported by mkrufky (mkrufky at linuxtv dot org)<br />
<br />
Unable to mount Compact Flash drives connected via an IDE interface. This worked in all Knoppix versions 3.8 through 4.0.2, I have not tried in versions earlier than 3.8.<br />
<br />
7.) Reported by mkrufky (mkrufky at linuxtv dot org)<br />
<br />
Missing hybrid v4l/dvb kernel modules: cx88-dvb, saa7134-dvb, but their dependencies are all present. This causes bugs in the cx88 driver (loud static on startup), due to some missing init code that should run in the missing cx88-dvb module. Of course, the lack of these modules also prevents DVB operation for those devices.<br />
<br />
<br />
8) burn successfully KNOPPIX_V5.0.1CD-2006-06-01-EN on a CD, and Knoppix V5.0 tested successfully on different machines, but cannot boot on my laptop "HP Pavilion 5000".<br />
error description:<br />
''enabling DMA accelerator for the hdc [HL-DT-ST GSA-4082N]<br />
looking for CD in: /dev/hdc''<br />
<br />
and after 3 minutes stuck, that message appear at the screen :<br />
''can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry, dropping you to a (very limited) shell...''<br />
and a shell prompt knoppix appear...<br />
<br />
9) Reported by StuartCook<br />
<br />
"Start Samba Server" share creation failure (see 1 above) in 5.0 and 5.0.1.<br />
<br />
Workaround: Edit /usr/sbin/sambastart, near the bottom, replace /mnt by /media<br />
<br />
Now "Start Samba Server" should create disk shares correctly.<br />
<br />
If this is the wrong place for this workaround; apologies.<br />
<br />
<br />

10) Reported by Greg M. Johnson<br />
<br />
5.01 as live CD works well with USB pen drives. A HDD install of 5.01 does not. I noted that you create the exact same fstab, whether it be live or installed. And that's the bug! :). The UID for /sda1 that you put into fstab is "knoppix" in both cases. For a live boot, this is correct. For a HDD install the UID ain't 'knoppix' unless the user has created a userid of that name. <br />
WORKAROUND: if one creates a userid of "knoppix" on the system, it works.<br />
<br />
BUGFIX: (As reported to me--Greg-- by knoppix.net forum member "AgenteFBI", Jaime) <br />
<br />
I fixed this bug modifying the file: /etc/udev/knoppix.rules<br />
----------------------------------------<br />
- file: /etc/udev/knoppix.rules<br />
# Add or remove /etc/fstab entries in KNOPPIX -KK<br />
ACTION=="add",SUBSYSTEM=="block",KERNEL=="[sh]d*" RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/rebuildfstab -u knoppix -g knoppix -i &'" <----<br />
ACTION=="remove",SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/rebuildfstab -r -u knoppix -g knoppix -i &'" <----<br />
----------------------------------------<br />
<br />
New modified /etc/udev/knoppix.rules<br />
----------------------------------------<br />
- file: /etc/udev/knoppix.rules<br />
# Add or remove /etc/fstab entries in KNOPPIX -KK<br />
ACTION=="add",SUBSYSTEM=="block",KERNEL=="[sh]d*" RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/rebuildfstab -u $USER -g $USER -i &'"<br />
ACTION=="remove",SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/usr/sbin/rebuildfstab -r -u $USER -g $USER -i &'" <br />
----------------------------------------<br />
<br />
That did it for me, and also fixed bug #14!<br />

11) Reported by Mark Rice<br />
<br />
Intel Wireless (2200 bg) does not work on IBM T42. It worked great with Knoppix 4.02. ipw2200 and related modules show up with lsmod. iwconfig shows no wirelss adaptores.<br />
<br />
<br />
12) Reported by Greg Powers<br />
<br />
Saved a config using Knoppix 4 to a USB drive. Booted with Knoppix 5.0.1 (CD) with myconf=scan. Works. Most things do work. Great system. However, when try to save config again it only lists the floppy as a destination option. Can't save to USB key. Maybe change from /mnt to /media was missed in some file somewhere? Silly change, btw. Sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
13) Reported by Richard Earhart<br />
<br />
For Knoppix 5.0.1 both DVD and CD<br />
1. Several different routers correctly configured several different net chips with DHCP in previous versions and are no longer doing so.<br />
2. There is a problem with hardware detection, specifically: NO /proc/pci which exists in previous versions.<br />
3. Intel and 3COM network chips that worked in previous versions are not being properly detected or configured.<br />
See http://www.knoppix.net/forum/ (Networking) 5.0.1 (2006-06-01) DVD and networking for details.<br />
<br />
14) Reported by Greg M. Johnson<br />
<br />
For the live boot of DVD of 5.0.1-DVD, everything works great with multimedia. With a HDD install of 5.0.1, I cannot get a peep of sound out of this system. An error message upon loading is <br />
"Sound server informational message: <br />
Error while initializing the sound driver:<br />
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied)."<br />
I've tried alsaconf a half dozen times to no avail. Given the error (bug #10) above, and the similar live/install dichotomy, my hypothesis is that this is a problem with the installer or the distro.<br />
<br />
BUG FIX:<br />
See the bugfix listed at bug #10 !<br />

KNOPPIX_V5.0.1DVD-2006-06-01-EN, md5 check ok, burned successfully, used successfully on other machine. Same problem as bug 8 above, HP Pavilion Laptop ZX5000 series, ZX5070US. Hangs at "looking for DVD in: /dev/hdc" after several minutes message appears "can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry, dropping you to a (very limited) shell..." and prompt appears. The cheat code "knoppix nodma" will allow me to boot with most devices, and all partitions recognized.</div>Pterandonhttp://ftp.knoppix.net/wiki/Bugs/5.0DVDBugs/5.0DVD2006-06-18T03:21:56Z<p>Pterandon: </p>
