Can't start KDE from CHROOT environment as knoppix user
Hi all,
I've been using the remastering howto to successfully create a remastered ISO. However, there are some further changes I'd like to make to the knoppix user's KDE environment.
To try and do this, I have been following the instructions here.
To start with, I assumed that these instructions were to be executed starting in the chroot'ed root-user shell, from within the knoppix build environment, but when I tried switching to run level 2 using the 'init 2' command, I get a permissions error.
In order to try and work round this, I came out of the chroot environment, took the whole system to 'init 2', and then chrooted again. As root I could now start kde, but when switching to the knoppix user I get a load of errors when running startx.
Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong? Any suggestions will be very gratefully received!!
Cheers,
MrP.
PS - I'm using Knoppix v5.1.1[/url]

hi
there's an alternative solution to ur problem. Instead of switching to init 2 u can start xserver on different console.
what u can do is: -
> skip the init 2 step
> before switching to user knoppix do the follwing: -
1> change the permission of /tmp: chmod 777 /tmp
2> export DISPLAY=localhost:1
3>vi /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
Change the line:
allowed_users=console
to:
allowed_users=anybody
> su knoppix
> startx /usr/bin/startkde --:1
if u do not change the permissions of /tmp when starting as knoppix user u'll get error of permission denied.
this worked for me.
regards
