Thank you very much for your interest and assistance Klaus. The system is stable with cheatcode 'no3d' so I think I'll leave it at that.

I've managed to get to runlevel 3 by changing inittab, the Nvidia installation now starts but then stops when wanting to download kernel headers or such. At that stage my machine has not yet...

Thanks for your help Werner. I read "Step 3: Install" but it presupposes that I will know that I have to perform the steps that you outline here. I have followed your instruction to the point where...

I found what appears to be the appropriate driver, but I have no idea how to install a .run file to the system or indeed whether it is likely to be compatible.

Also for further information: In the last few days I had the opportunity to test the following distros, some of which also gave problems with screen display on the same machine:

I tested the md5sum after downloaf, it was good. I have just run cheatcode "knoppix testcd".the system reports "All files OK".

I still have not resolved this issue with my limited Linux experience. I have tested now three times with a fresh install, the results are as follows:

Fresh install, no cheat codes, no additional...

So just to update this, I have done a fresh install of the 7.2.0 ISO onto two different USB sticks, just to rule out possible USB stick issues. Both installations have failed after a few minutes -...

Here are some screenshots that I took yesterday, before installing the nVidia driver:

Thanks for your time Klaus.

I have tried with cheat code 'knoppix no3d', the machine now stops during boot with error

'grep: /etc/x11/xorg.conf: Input/output error

I think, to avoid wasting...

To follow on from previous post, I've forcibly restarted the machine a few times to test - basically, once the machine has booted to desktop, clicking on or attempting to launch most applications,...

I issued "sudo apt-get update" and waited until the list was updated.

I then issued "sudo apt-get -t experimental install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig nvidia-kernel-dkms",...

I copy/pasted the code to terminal, it proceeded as expected but before the machine rebooted I was prompted for a reply, result was the following;

After this operation, 78.5 MB of...

Thanks very much for this Klaus, I will try a little later and let you know how it went...

I'm battling with video issues on 7.2.0 so I decided to temporarily re-install 6.7.1. I used the same ISO that I used previously and the install runs fine off a USB stick.

When I try to install...

Klaus, the information at hand is:

nVidia GeForce 8400MG 128MB

Is that sufficient and could you direct me to information on where to source kernel header files to build a kernel module? In fact...

Unable to edit original post, so I'll continue here. I've searched for more information on this, the best I can come up with is that i need to install the nVidia GeForce drivers to resolve the issue....

I've been happily running Knoppix 6.7.1 off a USB stick for some time now and decided to upgrade to 7.2.0

Everything works just the same as 6.7.1, with the bonus that 7.2.0 now recognizes my...

Thanks Klaus, that was a proper noob question....works great now

I'm running Knoppix 6.7.1 with persistence, off a USB stick on an Acer Aspire 5520.
I downloaded the 32 bit Teamviewer from here:

So I updated the bug report over at http://libiphone.lighthouseapp.com
I've had no response to that so I had a look at Ubuntu 12.04. I ran it 'live' off USB on the same laptop and it immediately...

One more question: is establishing a connection to the iPhone contingent on there being an application such as Rhythmbox or Banshee installed on my laptop?

"idevice_id -l" returns the iPhone's UUID, and "ideviceinfo -s" returns general info
"ideviceinfo" does nothing

I'll update my bug report as you suggest. Thanks Klaus

Hi Klaus, thanks again for taking the time to help with this. I've previously tried the pair/unpair commands, this is the output:

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ idevicepair unpair
QueryType failed,...

What is the meaning of the option '-s'?

I copied the instruction from this site - see comment from forumite Helge.
