==GRUB Configuration Error==

{{delete|outdated}} [[User:WPSchulz|WPSchulz]] ([[User talk:WPSchulz|talk]]) 19:12, 11 April 2016 (EDT)
There are two problems with option label dos for loading FreeDos balder.img. There is no memdisk file in /boot/isolinux folder and the isolinux.cfg sintax is wrong
+
 
+
The correct syntax is
+
 
+
LABEL dos
+
KERNEL /boot/isolinux/memdisk
+
APPEND initrd=/boot/isolinux/balder.img
+
==Mouse Configuration Default Error==
+
KNOPPIX incorrectly guesses that my serial mouse uses the "Microsoft" protocol, with the result that my mouse pointer hops around almost at random. It works correctly if I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf replacing the mouse protocol "Microsoft" with "MouseSystems" or "auto". Since the "auto" protocol would presumably work with a "Microsoft" mouse, too, that would seem to be a  better default for KNOPPIX to use.

:Rolf Leggewie: Not sure this is related, but indeed the "mouse" of my Thinkpad X20 which is one of those red Trackpoint thingies does not work at all.  "dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver" and things got working again.  Looking at xorg.conf it seems the following changes are relevant: /dev/input/mice instead of /dev/ttyS0, CorePointer and ImPS/2 instead of Microsoft protocol
+
 
+
==Default myconfig error==
+
Knoppix 5.1.1's knoppix-autoconfig script has an error with regard to "default" myconfig.
+
In the case where knoppix has been remastered with knoppix.sh and configs.tbz in the
+
CD root (/) the test for knoppix.sh is wrong.  Line 1310 should be changed from:
+
 
+
MYCONFIG="$(ls -1d /cdrom/KNOPPIX/[Kk][Nn][Oo][Pp][Pp][Ii][Xx].[Ss][Hh] 2>/dev/null)"
+
 
+
to:
+
 
+
MYCONFIG="$(ls -1d /KNOPPIX/[Kk][Nn][Oo][Pp][Pp][Ii][Xx].[Ss][Hh] 2>/dev/null)"
+
 
+
This will allow a default myconfig (e.g. if the myconfig= argument is not given)
+
to detect the presence of the knoppix.sh script.

==Timezone setting error==
+
Knoppix 5.1.1's knoppix-autoconfig script has an omission with regard to setting the timezone.
+
The script set /etc/local time around line 557.  It should also update the file /etc/timezone:
+
  rm -f /etc/timezone
+
  echo "$TZ" > /etc/timezone

==fstab error==

rebuildfstab adds the following garbage to /etc/fstab on a system with no hard drive:

==TestDisk error==
+
TestDisk refers to an old version of libntfs. As a result, when you start it, it gives this error:
+
testdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+
Solution: create a symlink to the new version of the library:
+
ln -s libntfs.so.10 /usr/lib/libntfs.so.9

+
== No Unicode support ==
+
 
+
Knoppix has no UTF-8 support. This means that files in hard drives (especially NTFS) that use characters other than those of ISO-1 encoding are not accessible for Knoppix (they don't show up at all).
