Hi,
I was wondering where the logs such as syslog or messages are stored while running from CD. I was trying to check /var/log/.... files but they don't seem to be updated ever.
The second question is: how can one update the whole distro with a single command. I want to update all of the installed packages to their most recent versions while being chrooted with apt-get update. Unfortunatelly, I do something wrong...
Thanks
Does this now support packet writing and udf?
I dunno bout the logs, but updating is easy.Quote:

But after installation, you should check (and edit) the sources.list in /etc/apt (as root) to match the best sites for you (localize them, I mean, and you might want to add stuff. You can find the official, local Debian mirrors on debian.org, and you can find additional sites offering (unofficial) deb's using www.apt-get.org)
After you finished working on sources.list, you should check the file 'preferences', in the same directory. It contains your preferences regardig what branch you want to use, like "stable", "testing" or "unstable". And if there is none/or it is empty, the most up-to-date packages will be used. Most probably, that will be unstable, or even (if you have added its repository in sources.list) experimental.
Remember that unstable isnt that unstable, its good enough for normal use, and its very up-to-date. I even run experimental, and I dont have much trouble...
Then the last step: you should update the list of available software on the web which apt-get knows about, using:
Now apt-get knows what is available. then upgrade your system, either usingCode:apt-get update
orCode:apt-get upgrade
If you want to go from one branch to another (like, I guess, yo want to?) then use the dist-upgrade command. that allows apt-get to remove packages, or add packages, if the dependency's have changed. With normal upgrade, apt doesnt allow this, cuz it *might* break something (carefull watch the changes... apt-get sometimes wants to remove whole kde from my system, cuz some update requires so, strangely... I whouldn't allow that ;))Code:apt-get dist-upgrade
You might first run apt-get (dist-)upgrade with the -s option, so you can first see what will happen:
well, I guess that's it... Good luck!Code:apt-get -s dist-upgrade
Thanks
Maybe you could help me with one more thing? I want my KNOPPIX to connect to the Internet. Unfortunatelly my laptop (HP ZE4125) has some strange network card that is not supported (I guess). I have plenty of PCMCIA cards, however I don't know what is the procedure to make them work.
Should the PCMCIA card be inserted before I run KNOPPIX CD or after?
What is the next step? What are the commands to make it work?
For example I have a 3Com589 PCMCIA card. What should I do to make it work?
Any help would be really appreciated.
THNX
I just have found another PCMCIA card (in case the previous one is not supported).
The new one is : LINKSYS Combo PCMCIA Model EC2T
One more thing:
I have a cable modem (COX). Its output is connected to a LINKSYS router.
well, I don't know anything about PCMCIA, I have no cards, but maybe someone else does. You might also use google to find info about this.
for example google on the name of the pcmcia-card to find out whether it is supported by any linuxdistro (if one supports it, it is likely most others, including knoppix, support it too). You might also try other fora (like local linux tech fora).
Is the PCMCIA card detected? If so, can't you use the normal (a)dsl/cable modem tool (in the knoppix-menu, or under "internet") to set it up? You might read the doc's, or the wiki on this site, for info about PCMCIA-network-cards.
Good luck... And remember, it might be difficult to set this all up, but if you succeed, it will be very satisfying ;)
ow, and IF you find out how it works, considder helping others find out how-to by telling your story in the wiki on this site!!! (under "Docs", on the top of this page, you can find alot documentation in wiki-form -> you can edit and enhance it to help others out)
Hi, I have installed Knoppix V3.3-2003-09-22-EN on hard disk,
when I try to use Tables in KWord it crashes or become unstable,
let me know if there is a bug fix.
Thanks
well, I use kde CVS and it works, but I cant recommend that ;-)
other things might break ;-)
but you might update kde (and koffice) it might help...
Guys, (thanks Superstoned)
I am freaking out!!!
I cannot force my KNOPPIX to get connected to the Internet.
I have a laptop HP Pavilion ZE4125 with PCMCIA D-Link DFE690TXD. Knoppix 3.2.
My network connection is LAN with DHCP. When I run netcardconfig and chose DHCP it fails to assign an IP. However, under windows it is set to DHCP and works just fine. Therefore, I have written down all the settings (IP, netmask, default gateway) from windows and entered them manually under netcardconfig.
When I type ifconfig -a it assigns the correct IP and netmask. However, I don't have an Internet connection still
This is what I have entered:
ifconfig eth0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.254.0
route add default gw XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX metric 1
(XXX - taken from windows)
then I modify my /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ifdown -a
ifup -a
Then I try ping 127.0.0.1 - I got response (therefore my eth0 is up)
ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - my IP (the same, I get response)
When I try to ping anything else for example:
ping www.google.com - I get nothing
ping my_default_gw_IP - I get nothing
Here are the outputs of the important commands:

Please help me out. Tell me what to do.

me is really sorry I know nothing about networks, maybe someone else does... It really sucks deeply you can't get it working, and I cant give any tips, else than google your hardware for known issues etc etc...
good luck good luck good luck!
I have the previous Knoppix version (first 3.3) and I want to update cdrecord to work again. How to do this? Just update the packade, change the permissions or what?
Aleu,
Look in the networking threads here - http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2164 and give a look around for posts by Harry Kuhman. - Good luck (btw - I own the same laptop - it can be made to work, I just dont remember right off the top of my head - I think my post on how I did it is in that thread - if not post back)

Hello everyone. I just installed Knoppix on CD, and it is a great program. It works great on my main computer which is a HP a250n. However, as one person posted, I am also having trouble with my laptop. It is a Compaq Persario 1020. The Ether Card is also the Linksys Model EC2T.
When I do a dmesg, I see that PCI card service is not loaded, therefore I can not do any commands regarding PCI such as lspci -v
When I do Ispci-v says command not found.
Any help would be appreciate.
Have a nice day!
Vince :)
ZIPSTER,
Thanks! I have an Internet access again. I don't know what is going on, since I have used a cheat code noscsi but it helps with an Internet access.
:D
Once again thanks
actually, that is the lo (loopback) device youre pinging, but that is just ant fucking *)Quote:

Well, it seems you have two ethernet devices installed.Quote:

[..]
You might try:
-To put the cable in the other ethernet device
-To run "pump -i eth1" and/or "pump -i eth0" in a root shell (which is in the knoppix menu, i think)
-To configure the eth1 device using netcardconfig (if that is possible, i dont know for sure)
Good luck
*) Dutch saying; to f*** ants ("mierenneuken") means that you are fussing over small things
Don't you just hate it when you realise there is a second page only AFTER you posted a message?
Wrong, that means that lo, the local loopback device is up, and normally it's always up.Quote:

If you manage to get on the internet by typing these commands (maybe try them twice, it happens that they don't work from the first time), do apt-get install dhcp-client . Next time you boot your network card should work again.
Maybe you can post the result of ifconfig eth0 here as well if it doesn't work.

Guys!
Thanks for your reply. I have succeeded with the Internet connection problems.
The only way I can force my Knoppix CD to access Internet was the cheat code "noscsi". I don't know how this is related to Internet connection settings, but after typing it my DHCP client works just fine.
Thanks
