Fixed almost all of the issues with my remaster. Only thing left is to get the other half of the kmenu back and get a few icons in the kicker fixed.
Anyone know how to get the gtk-qt theme working from the knoppix 3.4 cd?
How much longer arkaine, I can't wait!
What does C't mean?

Incredible! Did anyone know the 3.4 c't edition cd actually has nvidia drivers?! I LOVE this!
What is the gtk-qt theme? Is there a debian package for it? I can add it before I finish things up tonight if you give me some details. Sounds like it lets you use kde themes in gnome or on gtk apps???
And, actually something that's really bothering me- I installed a Silver animated xcursor theme. It worked fine in my 3.2 remaster, but on 3.4 cebit, it never shows the double arrows for resizing windows, and also it becomes the default cursor (small, black pointer) if its hovering over a browser or teminal. So it's like obnly 30% functional. :(
I figure its an xcursor lib issue, lack of links in the cursor theme, or some problem with a newer version of qt.
I've searched and found nothing that helps.
Gtk-QT basically translates gtk drawing functions into QT ones, making the Gtk apps look like native QT apps. A must-get for GTK apps. Here's the site link with the source: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/gtk-qt. Here's a site with the deb (u need to apt-get it): http://qerub.ondska.net/drupal/node/view/9
You can also add
"deb http://kde-debian.org/archive/ workstation-unstable main" to sources.list and do " apt-get install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt
(before this don't forget to "apt-get install gtk-theme-switch" and exec it after you have the deb installed so you can switch the gtk theme)
Hope you can add it. Oh, and test it for segfaults just in case.
c't is the name of a german magazine.Quote:

When you will have time, can you please put there also md5 hash of those files, to be able to check if ftp transfer was okay.

Or if anybody with torrent access is reading this posting, can he post here md5 hash of this Knoppix 3.4 C't edition ??
:!:
Thx, seth.
Thanks for the info Razor-X. I'll add those packages tonight, and the iso featuring them will be uploaded tomorrow. Perhaps that will fix the odd problem I'm having with the silver xcursor.
A beta without the gtk-qt packages is already uploading to my host and will be available from here- http://overclockix.octeams.com later on tonight (around 9 or 10 PM central standard time).
It's called Overclockix 3.4, and there will be a link for it and an annoucment on that site as soon as the upload completes.
Some highlights- customized desktop look (KDE, fluxbox, and icewm- still working on gnome, xfce, and enlightenment), installer script functionality repaired (partially anyway), added packages- firebird, mldonkey-gui, gftp, ncftp, thunderbird, updated gaim and XMMS to latest unstable versions, samba-mounting script, folding@home service, seti@home client, prime95 client, enlightenment (not tweaked yet), and more...
Default cheatcodes are lang=us screen=1024x768 splash
I'll try to post up the hash a little later after I re-iso my cd and md5 it.
Did you add firefox or firebird? Overclockix should have the latest i.e. Firefox (Mozilla Firebird namechanged and released 0.8 )
Hey Arkaine,
If it's not too much of a trouble and you still accept requests, then I was wondering if you could possibly implement the following. Add a new possible value for the "lang" cheatcode, "lang=et" - so by using it the keyboard and xkeyboard would be set to use the Estonian charset. :)
And some questions, it's unclear to me wether your distro is using KDE 3.2 or KDE 3.1.x? Also, is the distro going to use that font which is used in the screenshots that can be found from your site?
Well, anyway this modification of C't Knoppix is definately one sweet piece of work. 8)
Good luck!
I'm pretty sure lang=et changes xkeyboard and keyboard as well, as lang=us changes the keyboard layout to us. One more thing Arkaine, the c't iso sucks with USA time. I keep having to reconfigure everytime the cd starts up. If you can fix that, then great!
And will Overclockix also have kernel 2.6 support or is that removed?
Unfortunately the Knoppix versions I have tried (versions from 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 series) don't do anything with lang=et; only the Knoppix mod - NordisKnoppix had that option, but it's quite out-dated.
Unfortunately, Estonian language support isnt in Knoppix. It'll all depend whether Arkaine wants to add Estonian support or not. And NordisKnoppix i based on Knoppix 3.2 so its not that old.
Basically, I don't want the support for the Estonian language, I'd just like that me and my friends would be able to boot up with using the Estonian keyboard (which is alike Swedish and German but has some special characters). When you boot up Knoppix and use the icon on the task bar to change the keyboard layout you can freely pick Estonian. I'd just like that it could be choosen before and from the command line using the "lang" command, if possible.
But if that is too much of a hassle then leave it I guess.
You can change your keyboard style and save your knoppix configuration either to a floppy, or if your cd is multisession, then to that.
Sorry to say, but I removed all language support in order to make room for other applications. I think only enlgish and german remain.
I used firebird .7 as I could not find firefox .8 as a .deb.
More work still lies ahead for this beta. One such thing will be a cron job that syncs time to an internet time server (rather than ntpd which would use like 4mb of ram).
I haven't even changed the default keyboard layout from german to english yet... not sure where that's done. (I don't mean in KDE, I mean at the inital boot screen). So you still have to use shift + 0 to get the =
Looks like I found yet another problem in my kmenu. Lots of stuiff still missing.
Best to wait to download until tomorrow morning.
Have a look at the /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg file. Remove or comment the line "KBDMAP german.kbd" and the default us keyboard layout will be used at startup. You'll likely also want to substitute all occurences of "lang=de" with "lang=us". BTW, kriko, you could stick the appropriate keyboard=xyz and xkeyboard=abc in that file as well, so you'll always default to the keyboard layout of your choice.Quote:

As for firefox, I will probably update it when I upgrade KDE to 3.2- sometime in the next week or two. Gotta get everything straightened out in this iso first though. Browser plugins were a major pain. I couldn't get flash working in firebird 100% because of of gcc incompatibilites- almost ditched it for opera. The current flash plugin doesn't work with new mozilla-based browsers.
Does anyone know how Knoppix manages to allow su to root without a password? I tried to make an alias in .bashrc for su='sudo su' but it doesn't work. And its only in KDE where the user knoppix is prompted for a password when trying to su. :mad:
You need to use visudo to edit the sudoers file and check that the user has an ALL:ALL in the line for the permissions to access applications.Quote:

The problem is localized to KDE or perhaps kdm. Unfortunately, most KDE documentation I've come across tells you how to do things with KDE widgets in the Control Center, and not how to directly manipulate config files.
Thanks for the advice, Stephen.
Looks like you just have to use "sudo su" instead of just "su" in this remaster, at least for now.
Status- fixed some last minute bugs and uploading to my site now. Will be available around 9PM CST.
Does anyone know if software RAID has been added to the kernel in the newest version?
No clue on RAID, I don't have it :-P
So I see OCX 3.4 is up. Damn, you should've posted earlier. I just started dling Fedora.
Too bad the link seems dead :(
anyone have a torrent?
Well, the iso that's up still has some bugs in the kmenu and kicker icons. Should have it fixed tomorrow morning. It is useable though...
The torrent link is still up at http://www.boegenielsen.dk:6969/ (I just started seeding my copy). We also have the anonymous FTP feed at ftp://68.213.18.238/Knoppix/.Quote:

I'll snag with the torrent when I get home, Grabbing Xandros 2.0 buisness edition RC1 right now...
awwww I meant the OCX 3.4
How come this isn't up on mirrors yet? or is this an unofficial release.
Stephen I am having a little troulbe with HD install I followed your post but when I CD to "/boot"and run "mkinitrd -o linux-2.6.1.gz" I get "/usr/sbin/initrd: /dev/fd does not exist". I checked my mount it shows the floppy and the fstav shows /dev/fd.. When I reboot I get the kernel panic "no initrd found" pass initrd=option ore something to that effect. Can anyone get me past this point?Quote:

I'm having trouble turning it to english. I got it booted using expert26 and it runs, but it's all in German still. The only things I was able to change was the keyboard to US style and make the creen larger. Where and when do I type the lang=us?? HELP PLEASE!?
P.S. Not a hard Core computer prson, I can do a lot with them though. Plus Knopix/Linux/Unix is still pretty new to me too.
Also howcome my scroll button on my mouse doesn't work?
You would type that right after eg expert26 lang=us you need to use the SHIFT and 0 (zero) keys at the same time to get the =.Quote:

Thanks, I was trying to figure it, but no luck.
Install Problem,
I moved to :
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...?p=37973#37973
I'd love to play with the new 2.6 but it neither of these live CD's (knoppix or Overclockix) work with my Nic Card... depressing.
...hey jdell...
I have tried for the last several days to get into the ftp (68.213.18.238). Everytime I get in and try to download CT, it just sits at ZERO and doesn't move. I've tried with linux and windows machines and with WFTPpro...and get the same problem and result. Do you know what might be wrong. I login anonymously with email address. Do I need to do something else.
PS. ...to everyone...Is anyone else having this problem?
