Hi,

I am a little new both to Linux and Knoppix, so if there is a simple answer...

I have installed Knoppix 3.3 on my HD and it runs really nicely. However, from KDE, if I try to return to finish the session, shutdown the machine (a Sony Vaio) or reboot, the screen just goes blank and nothing more happens (the computer is not turned off). Eventually I have to switch it off and then the next time I switch it on I get an error about the file system not being powered down correctly.

For now, to prevent errors I have found that I can press CTRL-ALT F1, and then log in as root and shutdown manually from there.

Any suggestions as to how to solve this problem.

Thanks,

Tim
