    Question Administrator Password

    Hi,

    I'm running Knoppix 7.0.3 from USB pendrive:

    Through the DEFAULT settings under

    --->System Tools --->System Settings --->Power - Brightness Settings

    the screen gets locked after it is shut down.

    The only way out from the locked screen was for me
    'Ctrl + Alt +F1' and then typing "reboot"

    To UNLOCK, the Administrator Password is needed.

    I already posted HERE, assuming that a password for 'root' will do the trick,
    but it doesn't.

    What is the correct "Knoppix User (Administrator)" password?


    Temporarily I can turn the Lock option OFF, to solve this inconvenience, but anyway, I would like to know the Admin password.

    Perhaps "Caution: X-Screensaver" within knoppix-cheatcodes.txt may help you.

    Question

    Thank you, Werner.
    Yes, that helps.
    I wonder, is this related to the Authentication issue which I posted HERE?

    Sorry, I cannot find 'Software Update' in category 'System Tools'. Please try right-mouseclick to the menuentry you refer to and tell us, what you can see in the line "properties => command"

    Ok, I see gpk-update-viewer doesn't belong to Knoppix software selection. I doesn't try to install it - broken dependicies. Knoppix isn't designed for update or upgrade. You'll run in trouble if you do so.

    Perhaps "sudo gpk-update-viewer" may help

    ...because I like the GNOME desktop environment....

    So, out of curiosity, did I get this after I installed "gnome" via S.P.M.?

    I thought I could add the GNOME desktop to the CD7.0.3 version (as I have it on the DVD7.0.2) without getting in trouble.

    With V7.0.3 DVD you can get Gnome desktop by
    Menu => Knoppix => "Chose/Restart KNOPPIX Desktop"
