[Cronos55]

Hi all, I have been try to get the wrappers that I have DL from Klik to open and I keep getting a error " couldnot find program "wrapper" ". Is there something that I have not done. I have try it with the live 11-14-2003 CD, the Linux Defender Live CD and Morphix, it doesn't work ....HELP!!!

That's what's best (and already there) IMO:

I know, the project webpage cites NeXTStep... and I don't have any bitten apple sticker/tattoo anywhere on my possessions/most private body parts. I don't even own a Mac. But I read the stuff and I find it hard to find "conceptual flaws". Maybe someone here will or already has. That will be some discussion

I have a feeling that innovative work should start from there and look into directions which are peculiar of FOSS. The first things that comes into my mind is... I've always thought that... How can you really think that...

...wait. Just cross that and this:

and you get the picture...

What do you think?

'kin amazing! I stumbled on Knoppix 2 weeks ago and installed on my laptop a few days later. I went away for a quiet time in the country last weekend and apart from impressing the hell out of my hosts with the Knoppix CD I was trying to get to grips with installing a P2P client and Real Player. Both attempts failed miserably due to my (almost) total lack of knowlege of this OS. I remarked to my friends that I was mightily impressed with knoppix, detected all my hardware (unlike Mandrake...dont ask) and the only 'glitch' seemed to be software installation. I get home, start browsing the forum and come across 'klik'...problem solved! Not only that I can read all the clever chaps and chapesses discussing impovements as I read. I just LOVE all this stuff. I love being able to close my laptop lid and come back in the morning, wake it up and carry on where I left off, I love being 'in control' of my machine, I love never seeing blue screens, I love never having to reboot and most of all I love the sense that I'm a very tiny part of a movement which may eventually see the righteous downfall of the Redmond Crew. Keep it up!

Thanks for these links, they might indeed give us some ideas.

how does klik performs with knoppix3.4? I had problem downloading amule. Thanks for posting apollon.

Kurumin comes apllon pre-installed and is fun. Overclockix features mldonkey, but i didn't understand how to log in

Can I use klik to download software from any website? Like, http://packages.debian.org/stable/

sorry if I am asking questions already answered.

It should generally work, amule isn't tested with 3.4 yet, though.

Can I use klik to download software from any website?

Only if you write a klik recipe for it. The klik script tells klik from where to download, how to install and how to start an application. For most debian KDE apps, it is indeed just a matter of inserting the right URLs into the klik recipe.

But I wouldn't use debian stable because these packages are generally too old. Instead, you can use the debian archive mirror from the day when your Knoppix was released: http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2...13/debian/pool (replace by your Knoppix creation date)

I'm sometimes having a bit of a problem getting persistent home/saved configuration to save the shell scripts in a convenient location. For example, I would love to poke a Firebird icon in my main toolbar, next to the Mozilla one.

KliK is KOOL! Thank you everyone!

Please put "setiathome" on the list!!!! Soon, because its the only thing I can't do yet in Linux.

klik is great! Also updated nvidia script would sure help for the new 2.6.6 kernel in 3.4 5-17-04 edition.
Thanks

Error with FireFox (klik version) on Knoppix 3.4:

This may be a FireFox problem, rather than a klik problem -- -- but when I run ./wrapper, the error message I get is:

/home/knoppix/FireFox/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451:  1831 Illegal instruction  "$prog" ${1+"@"}

Anyone have that same problem, and a fix?

(Details: Live Knoppix CD v3.4-2004-05-17-EN; /home/knoppix is on a partition (not saved to a file); kernel 2.6.)
