Acornblue: /* Touchpad slow -- Date: 2008.04.24 Solved: 2008.04.24 */

=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.

= Other Comments =

1. When I looked at the '''changelog''' today (2008.04.25) nothing was there about DVD 5.3.1
