=Some BUGS Found in 5.3.1 liveDVD=
List V5.3.1/DVD bugs here.

== Terminal Server -- Est: Sat Apr 12, 2008 Solved: Mon Apr 14, 2008 ==

* I was wrong: the Knoppix 5.3.1 Terminal Server does work: cf: http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/pxe531.jpg

==Touchpad slow -- Date: 2008.04.24 Solved: 2008.04.24 ==

* 2008.04.24 - Touchpad very slow!!! 1st off thanks to everyone who contributed to knoppix. On to the matter at hand. Same laptops running >= 5.1 were used as reference. Temporary solution: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

to find touchpad
<pre>
$python /usr/bin/hal-device-manager
</pre>
i found my alps glidepoint on /dev/input/event3

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<pre>
$sudo gvim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
</pre>

below InputDevice "SynPad" "SendCoreEvents" insert (press 'o' in gvim):
<pre>
InputDevice "AlpsPad" "SendCoreEvents"
</pre>
save and exit gui...
<pre>
$ sudo killall Xorg
</pre>
Notes: the 'X' in Xorg is capitalized

== Update with KNOPPIX (kpackage) never ends -- Date: 2008-04-25 Solved:  2008-05-22 ==

* When I try to update or install software using the liveDVD of 5.3.1 KNOPPIX 2008-03-26 with
persistent /home and system area I cannot get it to work.

If I go to the 'Knoppix penguin' > "Utilities' > 'Manage Software in KNOPPIX (kpackage)' I get Synaptic instead.

After I update, mark, and tell it to update/install it never quits. The little bar just goes back and forth
and no error message. I let it go all night once.

So I tried '''''aptitude''''' and got '''PYSOL''' installed. Using the ROOT shell:

<code><pre>
aptitude keep-all
aptitude update
aptitude search pysol
aptitude install pysol
aptitude install pysol-cardsets
aptitude install pysol-sound-server
aptitude install pysol-sounds
aptitude keep-all
exit
</pre></code>

The '''search''' is so you know the spelling, and the '''keep-all''' is for safety.

Note: <code>aptitude help</code> does NOT show keep-all '''but'''
<code>info aptitude</code> ''and'' <code>man aptitude</code> both do.

So I use the liveDVD of 5.3.1 KNOPPIX 2008-03-26 with persistent /home and system area and boot from the DVD drive
''and'' I can update my software. WOW.

'''Solved''': I used '''''aptitude''''' to update <code>synaptic</code> and <code>kpackage</code> and after that they work too.

== Terminal Server - Broadcom Nic -- Date: Sept 4, 2008 ==

Broadcom bcm4401 nic, HP nx6310 will not load from Terminal Server.
Fine with V 5.1.1
Works fine with my Intel based nics, tried many times, do not think fault lies with my building of miniroot.gz etc.
Device works fine when booted from CD or DVD.

When Teminalserver client loads get this error:
<code><pre>
Modules loaded:
broadcom 6912 0 - Live 0xeetc
bnx2 143260 0 - Live 0xeetc
libphy 23296 1 - broadcom, Live 0xeetc
</pre></code>
There are 4 more lines at the end but I do not think they are to do with loading nic modules but in summery they are
nfs, nfs_acl , lockd and sunrpc.
I am then at the knoppix text prompt.

== Knoppix 5.3.1 DVD does not boot ==
during normal booting from the DVD I get a segmentation fault after the message
"Found primary Knoppix compressed image at /cdrom/Knoppix/Knoppix".
This also happens when I try to run "Knoppix testdvd".
