Did you do apt-get as user root???
HI there,
I am using the new knoppix. I followed the hd copy how to. Everythings up and running smoothly. but, I cant run apt-get cause it says unable to write and all that crap. What am i doing wrong?
I also cant change screen mode to 1280x1024...i tried knoppix modes=1280x1024 at boottime ..dint work.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

root.
To change your screen you need to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and change the following section adding "1280x1024":
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I hope this helps.
If you just copied the ISO image to the HD instead of using the knx-hdinstall script then you will not be able to install additional software. If you used the script to install to HD then post the output of the error message so we can see it and be able to tell you what to do to solve the problem (hopefully).Originally Posted by abhi
You will need to run "apt-get update" as root first before you can use apt-get to install anything. I would then suggest running "apt-get install synaptic" followed by "synaptic". You will then have a nice graphic front-end to apt-get for installing or removing software.
I found it helpful to type: apt-setup and setting up apt servers first before running apt-get update/
