I installed my Knoppix to the hard drive, and I have the "Lock Screen" enabled - the problem with not being able to run the Lock Screen, is that you dont have a password that will be used to "unlock" the screen. What you might try, is set a "user" password, and while you are at it, set a "root" password - as a test - and then see if the "Lock Screen" is enabled - you NEVER want to enable the Lock Screen without having a password, you will not have a way to disable the locked screen...
There is a way to do it, its kinda tricky but i accidently locked the screen, and i tryed unlocking it but it wouldnt work, what you have to do is to press Ctrl + Alt + F2,F3 or F4 this will give you a root promt, from that you type
Code:
$ usermod -f "" knoppix
that should disable the disable on the account (enable the account)
then type
Code:
$ su - knoppix
that should log you on, then type
Code:
passwd
and change your passwrd nd voilla - it should change the password so u can unlock the screen - i had 2 do this last nite, and im not toaly sure if thats corect, if someone can tell me?
