Knoppix has been running great for about a month, I was getting quite confedent!
Did a BUNCH of updates and added a LOAD of games over the weekend using KPackage. Things went realy well!. Closed KPackage and tried some of the "NEW" stuff - seemed to work GREAT!!! - God I love Knoppix.
My son (SUN?) wanted to run some of the games too, so we logged out with a reboot. Computer rebooted fine, went to GRUB and selected Knoppix kernel (3.7) install. Everything was working GREAT till it came to something about YP Server - where did that come from? Finely timed out and went on loading up to the KDE Login. Entered my son's name and password, hit "enter" key and - NOTHING. and I do mean NOTHING. I did notice the "curser" was different, now looking more like a triangle than a pointing hand.
Selected "Clear", the screen refreshed and we tried again to login - this time using my login and password. Enter - NOTHING happens. Reboot the computer, complete shutdown this time, comes back to KDE GUI Login screen, still won't login, not even the root!
OK - I know I'm doing something extreemely dumb, like forgetting to inhale after each exhale!
Where do I go from here? I don't want to re-install because of all the time I spent updating and loading the other stuff... :?
