For the access to some compressed loop back files (previously build on knoppix, 7.2.0) on a different system (rhel-based scientific linux, 6.5), I downloaded Klaus' cloop source file from alioth...

I wanted to start an ubuntu virtual machine as follows in Knoppix 7.2.0DVD (booted with 'fromhd'):
root# qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom ubuntu-12.04.3-dvd-amd64.iso

The iso image was read OK, with...

Yes - you absolutely have solved the card recognition problem!!! THANK you so much Klaus.

I boot my knoppix via 'tohd/fromhd', so it is like booting from the CD - in this approach, I couldn't...

Two embarrassing corrections: (1) The card is an ethernet card - I got myself mixed up, with my other problem (with a dial up modem). (2) After further investigation, it seems that pcmcia_core is...

In Knoppix 4.0.2CD, the dial-up modem card requires the kernel module pcnet_cs, which in turns depents on, at least, three other modules: 8390, pcmcia and pcmcia_core. In Knoppix 7.0.5CD, the module...

This card was detected fine with Knoppix 4.0.2CD (as "NE2000 compatible"). What are the kernel driver(s) or package(s) that I would need for 7.0.5CD? Thanks in advance for help or pointers.

A slightly less cumbersome sequence for the 'suspend' (switching to virtual console only once, after all X11 applications are closed): [1] (as before) switch to a vc, as root, enter 'init 3' [2]...

For want of real solution(s), a kludge that works is (1) on a virtual console, as root enter "init 3" (runlevel 3, w/o X) (2) "logout: on X windows (3) on a virtual console, as root enter...

On HP Pavilion g6, the screen remains blank after waking from a "suspend" (in the LXDE Logout menu), and a hard reboot is the only way out of the jam. Given that the boot option 'nomodeset' is...

Still no info on the error message, but the printer behavior is restored after samba downgrade (to 3.5.11~dfsg-1, the version in Knoppix-6.7.1). Will pose the question to samba list.

My printer for a konica printer (at ip 10.1.1.28 below) is broken in Knoppix 7.0.4. The following command line sequence in Knoppix 6.7.1 (cups 1.5.0-5) configures the printer that works properly for...

In knoppix 6.7.1, holding down the control key and clicking on an url string displayed in the lxterminal (i.e. "file://localhost/path/myTextFile") will start the simple text editor 'leafpad' with the...

Instead of solutions for a static IP, my network need for the Win XP VM under KVM is satisfied by an alternative (and ultimately better) alternative of a public bridged network. This was aided by...

I have a Windows XP VM running in the virtual network hosted in a system based on KNOPPIX-6.7.1 DVD, and would like to assign a static IP to the VM instead of one from DHCP. The virtual network is...

Thanks much for the solution(s) - and the help in improving my knowledge on all things kernel. It makes sense to have to reboot since the parameter is meant for the kernel. My first encounter with...

Continuing on getting nbd to work in Knoppix 6.7.1 (boot:knoppix64) - now with the knowledge that kernel has nbd -

the nbd server appears to start OK ("kvm-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 xp-disk.qcow2"), and...

Thank you very much Klaus for the details on nbd, and also the tutorial (which would help bridge the gaps in my knowledge and get me going). Very much appreciated.

I would like to mount a kvm qcow2 image (Windows XP) via nbd, but 'modprobe nbd' returns nil. Nothing obvious (to me :( ) in debian package repository for the missing kernel module. Pointers...
