Yes, surely I speak for quite a few of us when I say that developing our vim skills is on the to-do list! Interesting story behind the development of vi for anyone curious about why it seems so...
Hi all,
Is anyone able to boot the balder.img DOS version included with Knoppix? It is supposed to work by way of MEMDISK simulation.
It can be started using the cheatcode dos, but...
Enabling cron by default should be possible by adding an entry to the appropriate script. I see that there is an entry in /etc/rc.local to start the cups service. I presume, but have not tested, that...
Hello utu!
In comparing GParted to Palimpsest, I suppose you are looking at disk partition/format capability. I haven't used Palimpsest for that, or much else, so I can't really say whether it...
Just after posting the above, I found Disk Utility under the Accessories menu in Knoppix 7.0.3 DVD!
So, you can run it without resorting to the terminal, directly from the Live DVD. Problem solved.
Good news for you lad, and anyone else who likes Palimpsest Disk Utility.
Playing around with 7.0.3 DVD, I noticed that it is actually included, but for some reason doesn't appear in the System...
You have these options:
1) You mentioned the DVD you're booting is remastered. Why not enable cron by default in your remastered version?
2) Use persistent store. It will keep cron running once...
Hi itman,
First you have to start cron with the following command:
sudo service cron startAfter this, your scheduled tasks should run.
What is the purpose of the modules folder within the KNOPPIX directory of the boot medium (mnt-system)?
Glad I asked, thanks for the response. Your solution does the job. Good idea looking up LXDE specifically.
The challenge remains open to a direct, universal solution.
The following command will...
That works, and the grep -w switch is especially recommended to anyone using a non-distinct assigned keyword that could be unintentionally matched by parts of other boot option words/phrases.
Challenge: A user wants knoppix.sh to launch, or cause to be launched, a Leafpad window on his display. The window should be waiting for him once his graphical desktop loads. What code will allow him...
Hi Capricorny!
Interesting points. Is what you call the main filesystem the large KNOPPIX file? This appears to be the first thing that the init script mounts, hence Bash ought to be available...
When windows appear like this, as though missing their outer border, or you have other problems with 3D functions, you can quickly fix this by restarting Compiz 3D Desktop, if you don't want to...
Somebody running 7.0.3 should confirm whether Disk Utility has been removed, but if you want to add this or any other package to K7 without using a persistent image, I suggest you start with a look...
Yes, your code above works at boot, and is more elegant.
My initial attempt with grep used a different syntax which worked in Bash but returned an error at boot, hence my incorrect statement that...
I see, and appreciate your input; as a novice myself I welcome and encourage criticism and instruction from others who know their stuff.
My comment was an inference based on the fact that certain...
Good idea Werner, thanks for the suggestion!
Here is my detailed explanation for novices, and a working code sample (tested on v6.7.1dvd), for those who wish to use this method:
knoppix.sh is...
Hi, Anyone know a way to inhibit execution of knoppix.sh with a boot command/cheatcode? This is useful when working on devices where you might not want your regular script to run.
