No GUI

Greetings!

Sorry if I'm a totally ignorant newby at linux, which I'm getting in exactly because of Incognito, a longing and startling tool.

Being clueless about, I thought I was to expect that booting Incognito live-cd would get me directly to the GUI (KDE) which is shown in the screenshots. But the boot stops at a linux prompt, both trying grml 1.1 and grml medium, being the first "livecd root #" and the latter "root <at> grm ~#".

So I would like to ask whether this is actualy expected or is a bug, and what I must do to run kde (or the gui) in order to star using Incognito.

Thank you very much,

renlac

Okay, why are you downloading grml, burning grml to a cdrom and
posting to a grml mailinglist, when you don't even what to use it at
all.

grml does not ship KDE - so, that's why you can't start it off of
grml.

If you want the incognito live cd, I suggest you download *that*
live cd's iso image and not grml.

See this link for what grml actually is:
    <http://grml.org/features/>

And ask google where to find that other live cd.

Regards, Frank

No problem, we all started, at some point.

There is some information as to how you can start a GUI on grml, but
long story short, grml probably is not for you.
I don't know what Incognito is, but google tells me Knoppix should
include it. Generally speaking, Knoppix is a _lot_ better for new users.
Also, a dedicated Incognito Live CD seems to exist.

The fact, that he is talking about KDE makes me believe, that he
really doesn't want grml, but a live cd, that's the first hit for
'incognito livecd' on google, being:
    <http://anonymityanywhere.com/incognito/>

I assume someone told him that grml is the best live CD.
Something I do, as well. If the disclaimer that it's for advanced
users gets lost along the way, you arrive at the current situation.

It's not particularly bad, though. I hope he is off in the correct
direction after my mail :)

Re: No GUI

Thank you so much, Frank and Richard, for your attention, and sorry for taking your time.

Your considerations about my post are correct. Realising my mess, I tried to track back how I came to grml site thinking it was incognito site, but with no success. I'll stay curious about for a good time, though.

Well it was indeed about the incognito live-cd you have pointed out and it simply happened to not boot completely in my machine. As to an hour ago I realise it was for some hardware problem, as the same cd did mounted the gui (kde) finely on my brothers computer (although the browser couldn't find any webpage, even the network having internet connection ok). That seems to be a lone guy work (still in beta condition), but promissing as a very useful tool for those a "little bit" paranoid on computer/internet security. The cd even erases the ram at shutdown to avoid eventual cold boot attack... :-)

)

So finally I came to this list just for us to have a nice meeting. It was great to see your concern on my problem and I will not forget. Thank you for your directions and maybe will meet again. Open source is showing to me now its richness. Congratulations to you all.

Best wishes,

renlac
