List V5.3.1/DVD bugs here.
+
 
+
== Terminal Server -- Est: Sat Apr 12, 2008  Solved:  Mon Apr 14, 2008 ==
+
 
+
* I was wrong: the Knoppix 5.3.1 Terminal Server does work: cf: http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/pxe531.jpg
+
 
+
==Touchpad slow  -- Date:  2008.04.24  Solved:  2008.04.24 ==
+
 
+
* 2008.04.24 - Touchpad very slow!!! 1st off thanks to everyone who contributed to knoppix. On to the matter at hand. Same laptops running >= 5.1 were used as reference. Temporary solution: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+
 
+
to find touchpad
+
<pre>
+
$python /usr/bin/hal-device-manager
+
</pre>
+
i found my alps glidepoint on /dev/input/event3
+
 
+
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+
<pre>
+
$sudo gvim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+
</pre>
+
 
+
below InputDevice "SynPad" "SendCoreEvents" insert (press 'o' in gvim):
+
<pre>
+
        InputDevice "AlpsPad" "SendCoreEvents"
+
</pre>
+
save and exit gui...
+
<pre>
+
$ sudo killall Xorg
+
</pre>
+
Notes: the 'X' in Xorg is capitalized

== Update with KNOPPIX (kpackage) never ends  --  Date:  2008-04-25    Solved:&nbsp;&nbsp;2008-05-22  ==
+
 
+
* When I try to update or install software using  the liveDVD of 5.3.1 KNOPPIX 2008-03-26 with
+
persistent /home and system area I cannot get it to work.
+
 
+
If I go to the 'Knoppix penguin' > "Utilities' > 'Manage Software in KNOPPIX (kpackage)' I get Synaptic instead.
+
 
+
After I update, mark, and tell it to update/install it never quits.  The little bar just goes back and forth
+
and no error message.  I let it go all night once.
+
 
+
So I tried  '''''aptitude''''' and got '''PYSOL''' installed. Using the ROOT shell:
+
 
+
<code><pre>
+
aptitude keep-all
+
aptitude update
+
aptitude search pysol
+
aptitude install pysol
+
aptitude install pysol-cardsets
+
aptitude install pysol-sound-server
+
aptitude install pysol-sounds
+
aptitude keep-all
+
exit
+
</pre></code>
+
 
+
The '''search''' is so you know the spelling, and the '''keep-all''' is for safety.
+
 
+
Note:  <code>aptitude help</code> does NOT show keep-all '''but'''
+
<code>info aptitude</code> ''and'' <code>man aptitude</code> both do.
+
 
+
So I use the liveDVD of 5.3.1 KNOPPIX 2008-03-26 with persistent /home and system area and boot from the DVD drive
+
''and'' I can update my software.  WOW. 
+
:  04:10, 26 April 2008 (CST)
+
 
+
'''Solved''':  I used '''''aptitude''''' to update <code>synaptic</code> and <code>kpackage</code> and after that they work too.
+
 
+
== Terminal Server - Broadcom Nic -- Date: Sept 4, 2008 ==
+
 
+
Broadcom bcm4401 nic, HP nx6310 will not load from Terminal Server.
+
Fine with V 5.1.1
+
Works fine with my Intel based nics, tried many times, do not think fault lies with my building of miniroot.gz etc.
+
Device works fine when booted from CD or DVD.
+
 
+
When Teminalserver client loads get this error:
+
<code><pre>
+
Modules loaded:
+
broadcom 6912 0 - Live 0xeetc
+
bnx2 143260 0  - Live 0xeetc
+
libphy 23296 1 - broadcom, Live 0xeetc
+
</pre></code>
+
There are 4 more lines at the end but I do not think they are to do with loading nic modules but in summery they are
+
nfs, nfs_acl , lockd and sunrpc.
+
I am then at the knoppix text prompt.
+
 
+
== Knoppix 5.3.1 DVD does not boot ==
+
during normal booting from the DVD I get a segmentation fault after the message
+
"Found primary Knoppix compressed image at /cdrom/Knoppix/Knoppix".
+
This also happens  when I try to run "Knoppix testdvd".
+
 
+
== Regression with Intel 82830 CGC video chip  --  Date:  2008-09-29 ==
+
 
+
On a notebook PC with an Intel 82830 CGC video chip, Knoppix 5.1.1 worked perfectly.
+
 
+
But 5.3.1 is nearly unusable.  When X Windows starts up, the screen temporarily displays a crosshatch pattern of horizontal and vertical lines, not the usual diagonal stippled pattern.  After a few seconds the screen starts gradually fading to black, and then it stays black.  Both before and after fading, no other windows or information are visible on the screen, not even the mouse cursor.
+
 
+
Ctrl+Alt+F1 works so 5.3.1 can be used in text mode.
+
 
+
To shut down, type a command line to shutdown or reboot, or turn off the power -- because Ctrl+Alt+F5 returns to a solid black graphical screen where you can't see how to do a normal shutdown.
+
 
+
Some Google searching revealed that Debian and Ubuntu were also affected by a regression in X Windows on the Intel 82830 CGC chip.
+
 
+
== Start Samba Server loops on password dialog ==
+
 
+
The Samba Server frontend script loops asking for a password.
+

+
I'd also like to suggest tagging forum articles that describe bugs, and fixes if any, with agreed on keywords.

== VirtualBox-OSE incomplete setup ==
+
From a conversation http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=118805#118805
+
I think I'll make a short list... for using VirtualBox-OSE from the dvd first, then from a hdinstall. The first assumes that you have just booted the Knoppix 5.3.1 dvd... and have no persistent home to preserve any changes with.
+
 
+
Session:
+
1. As root -> Edit /etc/group : near the bottom look for vboxusers:x:141: and change it to vboxusers:x:141:knoppix
+
2. As root -> Execute modprobe vboxdrv
+
3. As root -> Execute /etc/init.d/vboxirtualbox-ose start
+
4. Logout of that session, don't restart the machine but pick logout. KDE will restart...
+
 
+
For Knoppix 5.3.1 hard disk installs, or even with a stock Knoppix 5.3.1 and a persistent home in use.
+
1. As root -> Edit /etc/group : near the bottom look for vboxusers:x:141: and change it to vboxusers:x:141:knoppix where knoppix is your logon user name. Adjust when needed.
+
2. As root -> Edit /etc/modules : add vboxdrv to the bottom of the list
+
3. As root -> Execute update-rc.d virtualbox-ose defaults 80 20
+
4. Reboot or do steps 2,3, and 4 from the first group... to get it running without reboot.

== Kernel module r8169 is broken ==
+
There is a known bug in r8169 causing a kernel oops (search the 'net for "r8169 oops" for info).
+
On my system, I get an oops message, but the system continues to boot. However, I have problems with the wireless network, which could be due to the earlier crash. It would be nice to support a kernel command-line blacklist feature.
+
 
+
== Bug reports posted on the forum ==
+
Since that is where some people post them... I'll try and put ones I find in here.
