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
$python /usr/bin/hal-device-manager
i found my alps glidepoint on /dev/input/event3
edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
$sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
below InputDevice "SynPad" "SendCoreEvents" insert:
InputDevice "AlpsPad" "SendCoreEvents"
save and exit gui...
$ sudo killall Xorg
Notes: the 'X' in Xorg is capitalized
Update with KNOPPIX (kpackage) never ends -- Date: 2008-04-25 Solved: 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:
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
The search is so you know the spelling, and the keep-all is for safety.
Note: aptitude help
does NOT show keep-all but
info aptitude
and man aptitude
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.

Solved: I used aptitude to update synaptic
and kpackage
and after that they work too.
