Re: RFE: a "testcd" (a la knoppix) option for the debian DVD?
anything "ephemeral" and having a(n apparently) "simple" only way of
doing things play into their games.
They are using javascript to get into and mess with people's
computers/life. They can change both the link to the installation file
to be downloaded and to the signatures of the files on the fly when
they notice you are trying to get out of "your jail" ...
If you have the signatures right on the DVD as knoppix does and that
write-once media you can test off line, that would make things much
harder for them. One of the "technical" problems with such bs is that
you have to have total contral and people have no minds for it to be
truly effective.
The initial installation disk I am using ("d-live 9.4.0 kd amd64")
contains only 704 files:
~
_SDIR="/media/cdrom0"
ls -l "${_SDIR}"
_DT=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
_LOG_PRFX=$(basename "${_SDIR}")_${_DT}
echo "// __ \$_LOG_PRFX: |$_LOG_PRFX|"
_TMPFL="${_LOG_PRFX}_$(mktemp ${_DT}.XX)_temp.ls"

time( find "${_SDIR}" -type f -printf '%s|%d|%P\n' > "${_TMPFL}" 2>
"${_ERRS_FL}" ) 2>> "${_ERRS_FL}"
ls -l "${_ERRS_FL}"
wc -l "${_ERRS_FL}"
tail -n 10 "${_ERRS_FL}"
kwrite "${_ERRS_FL}" &
env LC_COLLATE=C sort --field-separator="|" -V --key 2,2 --key 3,3
"${_TMPFL}" > "${_OFL}"

~
_TEST_FL="${_SDIR}/pool/main/u/util-linux/libblkid1-udeb_2.29.2-1_amd64.udeb"
time md5sum -b "${_TEST_FL}"

so, roughly 700 * (32 + 64) = 66Kb of uncompressed data for the
md5sum and sha256sum signatures of the files. That figure would be
greater for blends but I think it would be very small anyway and very
worthy. those 66Kb could be made even smaller if the paths in the fs
description file with the signatures is turned into tree based on
indexes.
Debian could even make it better than knoppix (in addition to
including a memtest option right on the DVD ;-)) it could give the
options to:
1) decrypt transfer data from backups once the installation is finished
2) reset/reinstall just one set of applications (libreoffice) or a
single application (say firefox, or writer)
I don't think that implementing that should be that difficult and if
a "toram" option is included right on the live option of the
installation DVD, that would make Debian closer to being "better than
sex" ;-).
That was only a suggestion, rough "proof of concept" I am sure the
maintainers will find better ways of doing what I described.

Re: RFE: a "testcd" (a la knoppix) option for the debian DVD?
It always amazes me when computer people rely on syntactical devices for any kinds of tests (like everything is so obvious, right? ;-)); let alone, integrity, security, "privacy" related ones (or that thing they used to call "privacy"). > The testcd option for Knoppix is checksumming as far as I know. Yes, but you can test the content of the DVD right off the physical read-only thing, unalterable whenever you want and disconnected to the Internet, which you could then verify further by going online and downloading all signatures if you so decide ... The only thing that remains to be trusted nowadays is the mind-body link, so all kinds of "tests" should have a endogenously free, mind-related, optimally one-time aspect that they can't control. To wit (for you to have more reasons to think I am "crazy", but as they say: "mark my words"). There is this thing USG is doing as part of their social control programs, they call "multiversing" (the opposite being "universing", which they also do) which is basically that they have so much control over all aspects of the lives of every one of us and can target their harassment so accurately, that they can, quite effectively, jail you in a "virtual cage" only you would notice, be aware of. It is called (social control, Zersetzung-kind of) "targeting" ... They even made Durerte believe God was talking to him ;-) https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/29/world/asia/president-duterte-says-god-told-him-to-swear-off-the-curse-words.html You could hear clear voices talking to you with semantic depth and having a protracted conversation with you while your spouse trying to sleep right next to you can't hear anything (so, s/he will think you are going mad), or you forget your car keys and "the voices" tell you and tease you as you look for them, ...

As I recall, the installation was easy enough, but as we are warned, Knoppix is not maintainable, so is not very suitable for long-term use. It's designed to be used exactly as issued, with the user moving on to the next version when released. The design effort goes into the hardware compatibility, with no attention paid either to continuously upgrading a hard drive installation, or an in-place upgrade to the next version. -- Joe

The easiest path for me is to fire up Knoppix 7.6 and write
it to hard disk. But I need assurance that I won't disturb
/sda3 in any way.
I think you have omitted relevant information.
What is on /sda1 and /sda2?
What OS is on on /sda3? on /sda4?
What is your bootloader?
Technically correct answers can be given without this
information. However, suitability to *YOUR* goals/preferences ???
My current used laptop resembles your setup. /sda1 and /sda2 are
the Windows installation installed by the seller. They are being
left untouched until the end of my warranty. /sda3 is an extended
partition and /sda6 is swap.
/sda5 has Debian Jessie with Mate desktop. This is my primary OS
which I take pains not to mess-up - {comparable to your /sda3}.
/sda7 has Jessie with Xfce that someone had suggested I try.
/sda8,/sda9,/sda10 are several identical installs of Jessie being
used to chase down a possible bug.
The above occupies only ~1/2 of available space.
To avoid disturbing in *ANY* way the Windows install or my
primary Debian install I do the following:
1. make the additional installs of Debian using "expert mode"
to give me maximum control.
2. at the partitioning menu I chose manual to:
a. chose destination partition of current install.
b. flag the current swap partition as "Do Not Use"
[The Jessie installer automatically reformats
any existing swap partition, changing its UUID
which can cause problems with other installs]. It suits
me to not use any swap for my secondary installs. The
installer will warn, but accept]
3. chose to install neither GRUB not LILO. That allows me to
keep my existing GRUB menu. On reboot I run update-grub
from my primary Debian install to add the latest install at
the bottom of the menu.
I have never had any contact with Knoppix so do not know if a
similar procedure could be followed. In any case remember to do a
backup first.

I haven't fired up Knoppix in quite a long time, and don't know what it's installer looks like, but I suspect you'll get a chance to choose what partitions to use, and at that point, it's all on you. You might find it easier/safer to put a second hard drive in the computer, remove /sda (so it can't be touched), then install to the second drive. Of course, that depends on you having a second drive available. Tinkering with partitions is always risky; a good backup is your friend. -- Kent West<")))>< Westing Peacefully - http://kentwest.blogspot.com

The OP specifically asked for grub2. Maybe he want to add a Knoppix

To satisfy our curiosity: what does Knoppix on a USB device as a

The question you really wanted to ask was -'How do I boot Knoppix on my
Debian machine and copy it to a USB stick?' Which would have nicely put
us on-topic.
Anyway: in /etc/grub.d/40_custom put
menuentry Knoppix Adriane {
set root=(hd0,1)
loopback loop /boot/isos/knoppix-adriane.iso
linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux
bootfrom=/dev/sda1/boot/isos/knoppix-adriane.iso
initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
}
changing (hd0,1) and sda1 to suit your situation. Run 'update-grub' and
boot into Knoppix. Get a terminal, plug in a USB stick and transfer
Knoppix to it with 'flash-knoppix'.

Van qemu weet ik dat ie wel zo iets kan, maar van qemu heb ik alleen textmode gebruikt. En heb dus wat (koudwater)vrees of gaat lukken de grafische knoppix. Update: Qemu en het grafische van Knoppix gaat GOED. Ik mag/moet op zoek naar een 16G USB stick. Nu ik dus aan een twee Virtual Machine programma ga beginnen, wat vragen: * Zou Virtual Box wel een /dev/sdX als disk kunnen gebruiken? * Wat zijn jullie ervaringen met qemu en grafische emulatie? * Welke andere V.M. techniek zou voor deze toepassing geschikt zijn?

I used Knoppix because it was very easy to install and came with a lot of useful software already, such as Open Office. The install program is called 0wn which stands for zero work needed. My earlier experiences with e.g. Kubuntu were a pain, menu after menu after menu and little control over the disk partitioning. With Knoppix all I had to do was run cfdisk and then 0wn.

But when I popped a Knoppix disk in my wife's laptop and got a wireless connect with no grief I was sold. Don't mess with success is my motto. Which version of Knoppix is that 6.2.1?

Screen width on Knoppix install.
I installed Knoppix, a Debian derivative, on my stepson's computer. Everything runs fine. But the screen background does not cover the entire area of his flat screen monitor which measures roughly 17 1/2 inches x 9 7/8 inches. The bottom button bar extends all the way to the left but stops at the right edge of the screen background. Do I need to fiddle with xorg.conf or is there another way to correct the dimensions of the screen image? A similar installation on an HP Pavillion laptop with a more squarish screen has no such problem. I ask here because my message to the Knoppix list has not yet appeared. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Create Book Covers with Scribus Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

When I originally posted my problem and said that the only thing the scripts that refused to run had in common was that I had put them there, I was very close to the solution. It wasn't how I set them up or anything, but that I didn't realize links should be in every single runlevel directory. When the run level goes up from 0 to 5, one must have kill or start scripts in each rc directory. I had just put a start script at rc2.d and a kill script at rc1.d. You must make the links to kill your process at each run level below where it starts and the links to start your process at every run level at and above the level where you want it to start. When I did that, it all came up like it should. The rc script has comments explaining how scripts are not started if there was not a K link below it. I then used find to locate every start or kill link belonging to an application that did work and that's when it hit me like a ton of bricks. I made all the links from 0 through 6 and both processes came up on boot for the first time on the next boot. It is still too bad that one can not capture 100% of all boot messages, and several of you have suggested various methods to capture all the console messages which are good to know for future intractable problems, but this one is solved. Many thanks for helping me think.

Bob McGowan writes: During startup, /etc/inittab uses the /etc/init.d/rc script to run the various scripts in the rc?.d directories. It has a commented out line for debugging. If you uncomment it, from what I can see, it will tell you what it's doing. It looks like this will propagate to the scripts that it runs, so you may expect to see a lot of stuff printed during boot. This turns out to be an extremely useful thing to know. What actually happens, however, is the script doesn't execute the starts and stops but echoes what it would have done. You can run it that way even after the system is fully booted. You just call it and supply the runlevel number as the first argument to get some idea of what it is thinking. Of course, it works perfectly every time and calls all existing scripts in the right order. What I don't have is a log of any rc2.d activity. I think it all goes to the screen very fast. As a computer user who happens to be blind, this isn't much use, but these things usually go too fast for anybody to read. On some UNIX systems, such messages as Starting secure shell, etc, are logged as the daemons fire up. On this system, /etc/init.d/ssh does, in fact, echo such a message but that's one of the 2 scripts I can't get to start during boot. Something is still happening to those 2 scripts when the sequence reaches them and there is no log trace anywhere as to what it was. As I originally said, Oralux is a KNOPPIX distribution but can be installed as Debian on the hard disk. Can anybody think of any way to add enough verbosity to the logging of the boot process to try to trap what is not happening? The other interesting thing I have noticed about this system is that it doesn't log any ALSA messages about what sound card is in use, etc. The sound does appear to be in working order as aplay and the speech synthesizer both work (not at the same time because of the sound card.) When I usually install Linux, I use a serial console. That is not an option as there are no native serial ports on this system. I need every screen message to go to a file somewhere and that may tell me something new. I think when I finally fix the problem, I will have learned a lot, but I've been about 2 minutes from solving it for the last 5 days.:-) Martin McCormick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

All New rc2.d Scripts get Ignored. Debian from KNOPPIX
I installed the newest and probably last Oralux KNOPPIX distribution from a live CD to the hard disk on a laptop and it almost works right. I must not have the right magic touch because I needed to add 2 more startup scripts in /etc/rc2.d in order to start a software speech synthesizer and to start sshd which I do want to enable on bootup for remote login capability. Neither script starts on its own during the run-level 2 phase of booting though all other scripts with higher as well as lower sequence numbers do successfully start. The only thing these 2 starts have in common is that I put them there. One references ../init.d/ssh which was already sitting in /etc/init.d. I figured the link wasn't there as a security measure because you don't need sshd if you don't want remote logins from other hosts. The other references ../initd/speechd-up which starts the software synthesizer. Both scripts are executable and will start and run perfectly after the system boots and one su's to root and manually starts them, but they act as if they aren't even there when they should be starting. I even made a third script called got_this_far which does absolutely nothing but echo a line to standard output. The boot process misses that one also. By testing the scripts, I call them the way init would /etc/rc2.d/S20ssh start That works every single time I call it manually. Any suggestions on how to see inside the logic that is keeping these 3 scripts from running? Thank you.

I don't know what is in pattern #7 but if it runs on other machines and fails to run on the laptop that would still seem to indicate a problem on the laptop. I would be very nervous about it. Things may still be okay with the machine though. You are not to root cause yet and therefore the behavior not 100% explained does not mean it is broken. It does not succeed either and so that still leaves a nervious suspicious behind. How does it run on tests #8 and beyond? Any other bad hits? I would also try with different ram configurations. How much ram is installed? If you have two dimms can you pull one, test, swap, test? Does the failure happen with both dimms or just one? If you only have one dimm can you swap with another dimm from elsewhere and again does it work or fail? For speed of testing I would try the smallest dimm that I could find. A 64MB dimm should speed through memtest86 much faster than a 1GB dimm and you can more quickly get through a full pass. Hmmm Yes. Hmm...

When you run memtest86 from a Knoppix LiveCD, neither Linux (the kernel) nor Debian (the OS) is involved (except perceptually perhaps, in that memtest86 is available as a Debian package). It's like dual-booting, only instead of dual-booting between something like Knoppix and Windows, you're dual-booting between Knoppix and a single application. So X and acpi parameters to the Linux kernel, etc, are irrelevant, but your suggestions demonstrate some good trouble-shooting skills on your part.

Bueno, el procedimiento de esta tarde ha sido: 1º) Instalación a la 'antigua usanza' con ubuntu dapper...ya conoceis este método. 2º) El reto es suponer una caida de un raid o algo parecido, debemos tratar de tener un método que nos permita levantarlo desde una live en knoppix. 3º) La dificultad la he llevado a la lista de debian-user y tuve alguna contestación. (Gracias Juan) El resultado final y claro ejemplo de mi gran desconocimiento es: A la desesperada monto el sistema en uno de los raid físico. # mount /dev/sda3 /montaje Y LO MONTA!!! y veo el sistema de particiones!!!. pero como ya me indicaron el raid quedaría corrupto y ya no valdría...lo cual la conclusión sobre esto es que si puedo recuperar pero a costa de perder el RAID. SOLUCIÓN ALTERNATIVA: Vía Guillermo. ¿Para que necesidad montar un RAID sobre el /? La propuesta de solución que veo es montar el raid en los datos y en sistema No mantener el raid En conclusión / fuera del raid /datos en raid. /boot /dev/sda1 en ext3 / /dev/sda3 en xfs swap /dev/sda2 /dev/sda4 VOLUMEN FISICO RAID /boot /dev/sdb1 en ext3 /opt /dev/sdb3 en xfs swap /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb4 VOLUMEN FISICO RAID Luego en /dev/md0 /datos xfs Así el montaje del raid lo hago con la configuración correcta y sin problemas del knoppix. ¿Qué opinais?. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Fwd: Re: Writting on encrypted partion with Debian sarge reading with Knoppix
Hi Bernd, there is no final solution to that problem yet, but there are ideas what might be the root cause of the problem. I forwarded you a response which I got on the debian-users list. I checked the suspicion of the trunkated key sizes and it is wrong. I did not yet run the loopinfo tool, which is attached as well. I case you find something out, please let me know. For me the issue is not terribly pressing, because it is just my backup and if really goes something wrong, accessing it from a sarge system instead of a Knoppix disk would be less convenient, but I would not have data loss. Hope that helps... Rainer Am Mittwoch, 27. Dezember 2006 22:59 schrieben Sie: Hi Rainer, entschuldige die Störung. Ich habe im Thread http://www.elearnit.de/knoppix/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1595sid=c3a59c8bc47d5 2d8f9c6ddec7241691f gelesen, das Du Probleme beim Mounten eines mit Sarge erzeugten Cryptofilesystems mit Knoppix hast/hattest. Leider habe ich exakt das gleiche Problem. Soweit ich bisher herausgefunden habe, scheint es unabhängig vom eingesetzten Algorithmus zu sein - ich bin aber auch komplett ratlos. Der Thread hört leider ohne Lösung auf :( Hast Du bisher eine Lösung für das Problem gefunden, oder gibt es bisher keine Lösung? Wäre nett, wenn Du Dich mit ner kurzen Antwortmail melden würdest (auch wenns noch keine Lösung gibt), würde mir sehr weiterhelfen!

installation från knoppix
Har installerat deb från knoppix livecd Men en sak som irriterar är att varje gång en usb enhet monteras så blir skrivbordet fullt av ikoner för alla partitioner. Nån som vet vilken conf fil som styr det hela?? Mvh Tomas

Knoppix NTFS file rescue tricks ?
I'm about to play with a windows laptop that seems to have had a disk malfunction. I've used Knoppix to recover files from working disks but this case may be more serious. Is there a HOW-TO for NTFS file recovery in Knoppix of is there even another bootable distro that has recovery tools?
