| − | ====Q: What is the root password?====
| + | {{deleted|remainig moved to General_FAQ}} [[User:Werner P. Schulz|Werner P. Schulz]] 14:43, 7 February 2013 (MST) |
| − | | + | |
| − | A: There is none; all passwords are locked/scrambled by default; you set one yourself for those situations which call for it. You can set the root password by going to Knoppix Menu -> Knoppix -> Root Shell and typing "passwd", then entering a root password. You can also go to Knoppix Menu -> Knoppix -> Set password for root. There are several sections you can read dealing with this subject in KNOPPIX/README_Security.txt.
| + | |
| − | You can also type "sudo su" or "sudo -s" in any console window, or use <ctr>-<alt>-F2 to get at the text console with already opened root shell.

| − | ====Q: How can I watch a DVD?====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A: First of all, you have to have Knoppix installed on your hard drive. You won't be able to execute the following proceedure if you are running it from the CD.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I beleve if you used a USB to hold the changes you make on a system couldnt you use that to watch a dvd?
| + | |
| − | I imagine that would be more useable.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Become root
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | deb <nowiki>http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian</nowiki> $(ARCH)/
| + | |
| − | deb-src <nowiki>http://www.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian</nowiki> sources/
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Then do:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | apt-get update
| + | |
| − | apt-get install libdvdcss2
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Play the DVD (e.g. with Xine, Ogle, Videolan, Mplayer etc).
| + | |
| − | * If your DVD plays but skips and jumps, then you probably need to enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) for the drive.
| + | |
| − | * To see if DMA is enabled, log in as root and type: "/sbin/hdparm -d <device name>" For example: "/sbin/hdparm -d /dev/hdc" It it says "using_dma = 1 (on)" it is already turned on.
| + | |
| − | * Otherwise, to enable DMA type: "/sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc"
| + | |
| − | *If you want DMA to be enabled automatically then add the line "/sbin/hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc" to any startup script (/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh for example).
| + | |
| − | *Enjoy watching DVDs in Linux :-)

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Q: How can I see a film with subtitles that of course I have, I think Xine is useful but I can't do it?====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A: in a console "xine name_movie.ext#subtitle:name_subtitle.ext" you have to replace .ext with the real extension
