Yes, it happened in the past and somehow the "bug" was saved, and now you cannot find that specific reason. If it was saved in some cache maybe deleting the (hidden) cache dirs in your home dir also...

Although you do not write about this, I think that this problem does not occur in live mode, and, as you said, it is related to your persistent changes. Probably it is a Knoppix LXDE (X, Compiz?)...

Rectification: in case of ISO boot you can resolve the problem, too. You can specify the ISO image file as boot parameter:

So you can rename the ISO files or put them in directories with unique...

If you look at /init file of Knoppix you will see the reason. Init file accomplishes this:



Init file is part of the initrd (in a running Knoppix OS it is: /init). You have to edit initrd to...

Knoppix is not 64bit OS, it is a 32bit OS. Although some commands shows that it is:

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ lscpu | grep Architecture
Architecture: x86_64
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ uname -a...

Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 and you can see the boot messages (on tty1), no need to make video. :) To return to X (tty6): Alt-F6.

If your stick has only 1 partition, then the PC should have the "sda3"....

Hallo rspiteri!

Sorry for my words, but I really do not understand your logic. You spent many time and did a lot of work for a bad solution. :D
Why I say this? For this:

Clarifications: Not only Openbox-LXDE, but also Metacity wm is affected. It is a mystery for me why with Compiz window manager the notifications are OK...
Knoppix version: 8.6.0. But I am sure that...

Hallo,

I succeeded to start Knoppix with Openbox-LXDE window manager instead of Metacity. I wanted this because I am not satisfied with Compiz, nor Metacity. Bugs, high resource-usage, they does...

I do not understand fully your USB stick situation: has it more partitions, 1 containing the Knoppix system with ISO9660 fs (readonly, optical CD fs), and an other one that is rw (maybe FAT32) for...

Open Compiz Settings Manager from Menu/Settings. Look for the Magnifier and open its settings by clicking on it. You will see the hotkey for start (and also for stop!): it is Super-M. So, you can...

ALSA bug in Knoppix 8: MPlayer, mpv (SMPlayer, GNOME MPlayer): after some minutes of play (about 3 minutes) the sound begins to crackle for about 10 seconds. And this happens again and again......

@superman Yes, with "noswap" and with NOT "nozram", zram is used for swapping.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ free -h

I have omitted knoppix64 and nostartsound cheatcodes. But the "nozram" is necessary. (Maybe because of my hardware?)

Thank you. I use only live systems run from ISO files with manually installed GRUB2. Reading your post I found the solution. I should have used linux64 (instead of linux) in my grub.cfg file. By this...

My boot is quite different. On my HDD there is not installed any OS. I use only live systems (mainly Knoppix in live mode) run from ISO files copied to HDD. The boot is provided by an installed GRUB2...

My Dell N5040 notebook had 2GB phisical memory. Yesterday it was added more 2GB.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, the cheatcodes helped me. I found for my notebook Amilo La1703 the best combination is: knoppix nodrm nofb no3d|nocomposite.
But I don't think I'll use V6.7.1,...

Thanks for your answer but I don't think that this is the problem. I succeded to run V6.7.1 with my notebook (using johnmd's advice) but there was no difference: Synaptic wanted to remove the same...

I don't know if PCLinuxOS is as good for my purposes as knx, if it has the feature being copied to hdd and running from there as knoppix does (fromhd=/dev/...), what package management system uses...

I run KNOPPIX V6.4.4 DVD EN from the HDD of my Amilo La1703 notebook using a persistent image (knoppix-data.img). (The 6.7.1 KNOPPIX version doesn't work with my notebook at all, it seems to have...
