Boot "fromiso". Update install. apt-get install $"old-apps*" didn't work.
Probably entered it ncorrectly. Updated all pertinent apps.
Upgraded kernel with h2's script, but did not dist-upgrade.
Tracking "testing" in a mild-mannered sort of way. Just unselected the "unstable" repository. More when I know more.  |

I can't find that comment in the forum. I got the same error, too. Is this something to be ignored? |

Internet radio stopped working. Using Firestarter.
All fine before upgrade. Maybe I changed something?
Looking for the fix from a few months ago.
Hope it will fix it again.
Edit: After a reboot, it's now working. Just a matter of getting all the pieces back together again. rh. |

Hello!
RC2 properly configured my VGA card in Virtual PC!
Code:
Videocard:
S3 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] X.Org 7.0.0 [ 1024x768 @75hz ]
Now it is not OK (screen is extremely wide and IMHO
only 8 colors are used, so everything is unreadable...)
Regards, Roman |

| Try booting with cheat code xmodule=vesa or xmodule=fbdev. Have you tried VMware Workstation/Server instead? |

You guys probably know about it already.
But, I just booted into the new 2006-01-RC4 and the text in Konsole is not readable using the default theme/colors.
The text shows up as white on white and you have to highlight it to see what you typed.
The prompt text is also very difficult to see highlighting it.
But, the "white on white" typed text is totally unreadable without highlighting it (I had to do that to see what I was doing to get my network card up from the live cd). |

The text in my Konsole is fine as always so it may be an isolated incident. |

Text in shell was fine using RC4 in live mode on an old Matrox card this evening.

My bad guys. It's working fine now.
I don't know what happened the first time I booted into it. But, all I saw in Konsole was white on white text unless I highligted it (and nothing was loaded except for Konsole, as the first thing I wanted to do was get my wireless card up and loaded Konsole before selecting anything else from the menus).
I just booted into the CD again, and it's working fine now (I can see the text in Konsole just fine). So, something must not have loaded or initilized right the first time around (or I've got a borderline burn that it didn't read properly). |

Same here. Live-CD on a machine w/ a Radeon XPRESS 200 integrated card. Tried "compiz" as grub cheat during the first boot, but keyboard didn't work and Konsole was white-on-white. Subsequent boot w/out compiz as cheat worked fine, and installation works OK.
Live-CD and installation worked fine on laptop w/ Radeon Mobility 9700 card, too. |

| LiveCD boot with compiz 2 and nVidia 6600GT worked fine, nice effects. But after hd install from compiz mode, I seem to not have a window manager in KDE, can't move/resize any windows, no frames. IceWM is fine. My konsole was fine on LiveCD but can't even type in it on hd install. How to get a wm back? |

I reinstalled RC4 from normal wm (not compiz mode). First time starting up KDE was fine, but when I went to logout it hung and wouldn't get to the normal kdm login. Doing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace gets to the login again, but then KDE hangs starting up at "loading the desktop". So I couldn't get back into KDE. On my first RC4 install from compiz mode KDE worked but I had no wm, as I posted above.
P.S. I'm happily running 2006-01-RC3 on another partition, 4 Debian-based distros running well on this PC. I made the RC4 CD iso with xdelta and it checks out OK with md5sum. Burn on a CD-RW seems good, same burn method used for RC3. Yet RC4 runs fine on other people's machines. |

Follow-up: on another cold boot of RC4, it took me to a text console login and I had to do Alt-F7 to get to kdm, no big deal. KDE startup/logout problem seems gone. On yet another reboot I had no usb mouse (both usbhid and usblp weren't loaded) but on subsequent reboots it was back. Now, everything is working nicely (Kanotix seems self-repairing ...).  |

Using 2.4GHz P4, 512MB RAM on Asus P4PE motherboard, Nvidia GF4-Ti 4200. Booted live cd fine w/ compiz cheatcode and installed nvidia driver. All OK. very cool. Performed HDD install, all went ok. Reboot, and no compiz  graphics are corrupted, though. Lots of weird lines redrawing in strange places. Will reinstall nvidia driver and compiz from scripts and report back. |

I installed 2006-01-RC4 on sda4, a 3.5GB partition, formatting as Reiserfs using the install menu choice built into the live CD.
But, when you calculate size for it by "right clicking" on 3.5GB Media drive icon created by Kanotix on the Desktop, select properties and calculate the space, it calculates it for my 105GB NTFS partition (sda1) instead.
If you hold your mouse cursor over the icon on the desktop, the correct drive info is shown (as is the info in the meta tab looking at properties with kdesktop).
I've also got a 8.5GB reiserfs parition at sda2, and a 2GB linux swap partition at sda3. I've got a card reader on it but no cards are in it right now. I probably had a 1GB card CompactFlash Card in the reader when Kanotix was installed. I've got a couple of USB drives, too. But, none were plugged in when Kanotix was installed.
Interestingly, some of the tabs show the correct drive info (meta tab).
See this album of screen shots here. It's calculating the size for sda1 instead of sda4.
Select Original as the viewing size from the size choices you'll see under a photo when viewing it.

Hi,
I'm trying got get kpowersave and suspend2 to work. It seems like the hibernate process begins, but it finishes way too quickly. When I boot up, the OS boots up normally instead of restoring from disk.
I've modified the grub menu list entry kernel option with resume2=swap:/dev/hda2, but restore still doesn't work.
Mepis is the only distro that I can get hiberation working on. SUSE is supposed to have good support for it too.
Thanks |

Try
K-menu > Control Center > Kanotix > Boot (log in as Admin) > Freeze > Uncheck "Freeze Services" hit apply > Services > Under Disabled Services, click on "kpowersave", click on the < button to switch it to Active Service's, then go back to > Freeze > Check "Freeze Services" hit apply close
add your username to powerdev in kuser
reboot so that the sysfs files required for the powerdev group have correct permissions. |

(The service is called "powersave" actually, not "kpowersave")
I tried it but it doesn't help. I see:

| Using Terratec CinergyT2 dvb-t (usb) Works great with 2006.1, but does not work at all with RC4. Kernel modules are loaded and Cinergy is listed with lsusb, but I can only select analog-tv in Xine and it seems that the pvrinput-plugin is used as default (which make no sense). |

A couple of days ago I upgraded my motherboard and
installed a dual core AMD processor. After installing
KANOTIX-2006-01-RC4 I noticed that every 4-5 secs
there is a brief burst of hard drive activity.
Running top shows the activity to be initiated by kded.
Does anyone know if this is normal activity or is it a
kde or RC4 bug?
I suspect the latter because before I installed RC4 I took
the opportunity to try Kubuntu and found no such HD activity.
Edit: Once again my age is showing. A process of elimination
reveals that this disk activity is merely Knemo doing it's thing. |

I installed RC4 on an athalon 1.2 gb computer with 20gb HD and 128megs of ram and it seemed to work fine until after installed nvidia drivers for my gForce 256 card. The nvidia drivers seem to work fine but now any time I launch the Control Center (kcontrol) the computer completely locks up a couple of seconds after the window opens and I have to do a hard reset to reboot.
