$HOME directory (/home/knoppix) is out of disk space

[benopdezolder]

So /home is also on this image, this persistant disk image KNOPPIX.IMG has the changes you make to the system, because you can not make this changes to the d.v.d.

hi lucien,

I've increased the size of the image (that created some extra work), so now my troubles should now be over?

thx, ben

Hello Benindekelder

I do hope that your problems are gone, you have to know that the knoppix software is not, as well as any software, not ..... completely error free.

So I do hope that you wil not hit any another nasty problem.

Take it slowly with changing software which was originaly on the d.v.d. As i said on http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28988
make from time to time a copy of KNOPPIX.IMG so you can always go back to an earlier good working image.

Now back to opzolder :P :P

Lucien.

[benopdezolder]

with the bigger .img (made in 5.3.1) knoppix starts without any problems,
but .......


(iceweasel still craps out)

upon rebooting the image is detected, the settings however are not imported!!
this means retweaking everything after a reboot

what am I doing wrong??

[Lucien]

Ben,

I can't tell you what you did wrong and why your iceweasel craps out.

But if you give as : Kmenu >QuickBrowser >Hoofdmap >Openen in terminal and then in the terminal window type df -h you should find

/dev/cloop 7,4G 7,4G 0 100% /KNOPPIX
/dev/cloop2 3,4G 3,4G 0 100% /KNOPPIX2
/dev/loop0 your PID size /KNOPPIX.IMG
/dev/loop0 your PID size /home
/UNIONFS your PID size /UNIONFS
and other info in the output of the command.

If you then CD to the /KNOPPIX.IMG map you should find there all the changes you made.

For example /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libflashplayer.so should be there if you installed the flashplayer.

There could be lots of reasons for your problems but investigations as given here will be needed.

Lucien.

in that folder there is NO subfolder /usr
only etc, home, lib, lost+found (locked), root, tmp and var (and hidden .wh..wh.plink (locked))

That's normal Ben if you didn't install the libflashplayer.so plug in .

Only what YOU installed is in this image. The example I gave is with the plugin installed .

but I DO have flashplayer!

[Lucien]

Can you see you-tube video with your flashplayer, probably not, you need the flashplayer plugin which is called "libflashplayer.so".

See to the following site to learn how to install this "libflashplayer.so" , without it, you can't see the you-tube videos.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...videos-608978/

Only if you install this "libflashplayer.so" into the /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins directory, you will have this in your image KNOPPIX.IMG file. You do not have to install this plugin , I gave it only to show that the PID will have everything you add or change to the knoppix dvd.

Lucien.

Can you see you-tube video with your flashplayer

yes, lucien. I can (it's an extra I had to install on iceweasel).

[Lucien]

In any case it is not on your KNOPPIX.IMG because you said that you had no /usr subdirectory on this image file. You can always try to find the plugin with the search function.
