Error in dist-upgrade
Hello!
I have the following error when doing an upgrade for my gateway solo:
root@box:/etc/init.d# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libntfs5
The following NEW packages will be installed:

Unpacking libntfs5 (from .../libntfs5_1.9.4-2_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.4-2_i386.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libntfs5_1.9.4-2_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Also, I cannot get sound to work on this gateway solo. I have the ability under windoz to use the
headphone outlet to listen to sound, I think that there is a low-level sound card in this ancient portable
but am not sure how to figure this out.
I'm a new user of knoppix and any help would be greatly appreciated! I am enjoying very much running software and graphics on this computer.
Cheers,
Freitag

some progress
I have completed some progress.
using
apt-get remove <package>
where package was something that conflicted with the package, which apt-get could not install in the previous post.
This worked and immediately a bunch of other packages were then configured. Then
I tried to update everything and this worked.

I wonder of it's just that the sound is muted?
Try Kmenu>Multimedia>Kmix
(little speaker icon appears in taskbar -- click on it and whack up the volume)

ALSAO--update for sound
Thank you for this quick reply! Regarding the sound. When I do this the icon, which appears on the lower left menu bar has a red circle and white (X) across it. Then when I open the mixer hardware information for this program, there is the following:
Sound Drivers Supported ALSA 0.9 + OSS
Sound Drivers Used:
(the used part is blank).
There doesn't seem to be anyway to access this volume. On the media player the volume was set to 0 and when I increased this there was no sound result.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers,

Try the command alsa_init. It will try to detect the card and load an alsa driver for it. This is from a 3.7 knoppix version, but may still work in the newer versions.

Still no luck with sound, thanks for the suggestion
root@box# alsa_init
Preparing modules for alsa...
Building card database..
finished ok, not sure what to do next. Sound icon still has red-no sound icon and no sound programs work.
Perhaps some important details.
When I try the soundcardconfig from the GUI in the Probe results I get:
No PnP or PCI sound cards were found in your system. Please select your
card type from the following list.
When this ancient gateway was a windoz computer I believe that is hard a soundblaster compatable
sound capability, so I choose that one.
I tried using module-assistant.
Following Update Prepare Select and checking ALSA
and then Get Build Install, this resulting in getting and installing alsa-source 1.0.8-7
I get the error message saying I already have a newer version.
Still no luck with sound.
Thanks for response!

Try tinkering with the sound settings in Kmenu>Settings>Control Centre>Sound System > Hardware.
I've a suspicion (nothing more) that you're either configured to use OSS when you should be using ALSA or vice versa: sometimes selecting Auto sorts things out.

Small success = "beep"
Thanks for the suggestion regarding the centre, I fooled around with this and did get a "beep" heard through the headphones.
I'm sorry to have another dumb beginner question--when I place an audio cd into the cdrom nothing happens. When I try as su
mount cdaudio , mount cdrom , mount etc., I get an error that in /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab there is not a proper entry. Looking at /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0

/dev/cdaudio /cdaudio iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda1 none swap defaults 0 0
for /etc/mtab there does not seem to be such an entry,
/dev/hda2 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
/dev/pts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
capifs /dev/capi capifs rw,mode=0666 0 0
I'll check the user forum about this issue, but just report the observation.
Thanks again for the centre suggestion, I had no idea about this resource,
cheers,
Freitag

Ah, you don't mount audio CDs, just pop the CD in, open up a CD player (say, KsCD) and you should be on your way. Note that -- just to complicate things -- KsCD has its own volume slider and it's horizontal!
