similar symlink for Speedtouch USb on Knoppix Live
Hi robelanator,
I'm a noob to Linux and have been skeptical for years of the OS just because of the seemingly impossible driver installations for Usb modems. If I can get this running then i might consider actually installing Debian on a Hard Drive again.
You suggested using a symlink to install the NVIDIA driver any ideas how to do a similar "make install" on a live version of knoppix for Speedtouch Usb drivers?
What would I have to symlink and where?
the errors i've been getting when trying to "make install"
are
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/sbin/modem_run': Read-only file system
which I understand is normal cause I'm using the Live knoppix off the CD.
But I really want to get this working without having to install to the hardrive.
I was using the install procedures found at :
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=55063
and my drivers where downloaded on my windows formated HD which suprisingly automounted when I booted from the knoppix CD.
I set the read and write permissions on that HD drive but "make install" which is part of the "speedtouchconf.sh" seems to want to install to the CD by default.
I successfully Configured the Software, Built the SpeedTouch Driver, but could not install obviously due to the my using LIVE knoppix.
Can you or anybody else help me please?
My willingness to use linux hangs in the balance.
Thanks
Sam

no screens found...
Hi,
thanks for wiriting us this great Howto. Everything worked fine until i restarted the computer and XFree couldnt start up. It said "No Screen(s) found".
Do you have an idea how to fix this problem?
(Knppix 3.4, Kernel 2.4.26, nvidia drivers v1.0-4191, nVidia Geforce 2 MX)
Thanks,
Götz

Thanks for writing the howto, but I can't get it to work with the 2.6.7 kernel, I used the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
I installed the 2.6.7.2 kernel header with synaptic made a symlink
I edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
I closed x went into the console and made the symlink
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.7-1 /usr/src/linux
I also did
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95
then
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
It wanted to install kernel headers(i think from their site)
It could no precompiled kernel(or something like that)) found.
It also complained still about the gcc compiler (Also when done ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.7-1 /usr/src/linux or not)
Whatever I tried several other possibility's to get the driver installed including new
reinstallations It really drives me nuts.

No doesn't work Tried the whole thing with offcourse change where is written 2.6.6 to
2.6.7 etc etc, really everything seems to work fine, compiling etc, but when I restart
It say s can't load NVIDIA module and get a nice loggin prompt.
There must be something different when using the Knoppix3.4 knoppix26 and hd install.

Since you already compile your kernel, your kernel header should be there.
Get a new nvidia driver from: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...-6111-pkg1.run
Then get out from kde to command line screen and run:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run
or you could try kano's script:
http://kanotix.com/files/install-ker...rce-vanilla.sh
http://kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-6111-debian.sh
Run install-kernel-source-vanilla.sh first, follow by install-nvidia-6111-debian.sh.

No didn't work eather then tried kanotix script after a new install.
It hopefully started with vanilla script executing downloading installing and ended with:
cp: cannot stat 'kernel-headers-2.6.7/include' :Unknown file or map
finished
Needlles to say that the 6111 script didn't work after it als.
Maybe when I find time I will try Kanotix still, to give it a try thanks for the links.

So I tried Kanotix and yes worked directly, still wondering why it doesn't work on the knoppix 3.4 anyway thanks a lot for the answers :P
