I've upgraded to Knoppix 7.2 and started to customize it to my liking, but one of my standard customizations is to install several Firefox extensions into Iceweasel, including Add-on Update Checker. ...

This is the result of malicious code that was injected into the knoppix.net server, exploiting some new vulnerability in vBulletin (and possibly also Apache). Possibly the best discussion of this...

And one that I'm currently not up to tackling. I think my best course of action right now is to switch to Knoppix 7.2 (now that it's out) and work on customizing that.

I know which package failed; I just didn't want to tell you. ;)


This would result in some two dozen other packages also getting uninstalled because of dependencies. I was hoping to find some...

Preface #1: I posted in this section because it has "apt" in its title, but I apologize in advance if it should have gone elsewhere.

Preface #2: I use Knoppix for two purposes: A) to repair...

I've seen this happen many times - on machines running Windows as well as Knoppix itself. I always assumed it meant the server was overloaded at that particular moment, and that "firestore72.info"...

Until recently, I was using Knoppix on a USB key with a persistent data store as a large normal file, which I would back up frequently so that if I screwed something up, I could just restore that one...

This happens to me occasionally, too. Sometimes the "Shutdown" dialog shows six options for me, sometimes five, sometimes only two - with no way to predict which version I'll see. When this happens,...

Okay, after going through the motions again with this new messed-up file, I finally managed to get it to properly remove and reinstall the package in question.

Next question: I noticed when...

Well, for one thing, it took forever to reboot; I typed 'reboot', walked away to do something else for five minutes, came back, and found it still on the shutdown screen. When it finally restarted,...

That seems to have worked; I'll let you know for sure once I reboot. For now I just want to document what happened when I followed your instructions.

Recently, I decided to create a new Knoppix USB key to use for debugging, but in the process of updating various packages, I somehow created a file which is listed as having zero links. Because of...
