Hello,
The package manager synaptic in Knoppix 8.6 and 8.6.1 seems to be broken with the following error:
E: The value 'stable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Replacing "stable" by "buster" (which is the Debian distro of Knoppix 8.6.1, cf below) in the second line of the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00knoppix file seems to fix it.
APT::Default-Release "stable"; ==> APT::Default-Release "buster";
Best Regards,
Gilles

Thanks Klaus,
I too can confirm the 32-bit version now works and I can put my laptop to standby and resume from it.
Hello
It seems possible to fix "synaptic" by only "updating"?I
It was my way . I just see your post.
I profite to to send HERE other observations about V8.6.1 without begining
another thread. ..I am desolated
KNOPPIX_v8.6.1 "FEEDBACK "
These observations are relative to my OLD laptop
Hi
1-Boots Without the Cursor... Not very important
But with a cursor it may be useful to go backstep
without deleting characters!
2- Does not generally accept directly my external
screen monitor.
Cheatcodes are necessary and useful (their role!)
Not very important.
3- At "shutdown" the screen monitor switch "off" but not the
laptop for it's own. Manual intervention is necessary
4- Knonqueror and Chromium do not work in v8.6.1 (for me).
BUT in v8.6.0:
Konqueror worked...Not Firefox nor Chromium.
5- With Firefox (in V8.6.1) it is sometimes very
difficult to register or open files on some sites!
6- The defaults of LibreOffice has a too wide screen monitor
7- To get Synaptic it is necessary to update fist.
8- The same for gedebi...a bit difficult to get.
9- To get printers installation via Firefox it is
necessary to disable "noscript"
10- Thunderbird does not accept some IMAP_mail_Box
11- No means for VIRTUALIZATION ??
12- It is necessary to disable much options of the
screensaver for working comfortably in much
versions of KNOPPIX
13- How to make "Okular" the default option ?
14- It may be useful to get te language layout
independently "online"...without "ReBooting"
Different users may need different languages
after the boot.
Some earlier versins of KNOPPIX offered this option
