I downloaded teh newest knoppix 4.0.2. Anyways i just installed it to my hard drive, when i try to log it it lets me in then the computer screen turns sortof off and it asks me to log in again, i tried it many times and it always does this. Its not the wrong password because when i type it wrong password it lets me know. What can i do?

Are you login in KDE? Is login sequence setup to KDE? Sometimes, if you log to nonexisting window manager this hapens. Not sure though.

Also it does not restart or anythig of the sort the screen just turns back for a second or two then the same screen you see pops up again.

I have also had the same problem on 2 different machines.
The problems occured after i ran apt-get update & upgrade.

In fact one of the machines won't even boot now with the live 4.0.2 cd.
One the other machine i copied the XF86Config file from the live cd into /etc/X11 directory because i initailly thought it was a bug in the display drivers but this was to no avail.
Has anyone else noticed this problem.

Did you click on the Menu Button and select a session type? If you don't do it when you first run Knoppix, it'll just bring you back to the login screen until you do. The setting will be remembered after that and you won't have to do it again unless you want to change window managers.

Please post the output of the following commands:
ls -l /
ls -la /tmp
ls -l /home
df -h
mount

You can put it in a file with
first command > filename
second >> same-filename
third >> same-again
and so on.

I meant you to post the output of those commands. Let's try this way. Open a root shell and type the following lines hitting enter after each command:

script -f cmd-output
ls -l /
ls -la /tmp
ls -l /home
ls -l /mnt
df -h
mount
ctrl-d (where ctrl is the control key)
Then post the file cmd-output here.
