FrequentlyAskedQuestions

Ok, I've installed Kwort, what should I do now?

First, login as root, then add a new user with:

useradd -m -g users -G audio,video,cdrom,floppy,dialout,wheel -s /bin/bash newuser

Then you should configure your X settings with:

X -configure

Hint: sometimes simply typing "startx" works better. On the EEE 900A e.g. X -configure generated a wrong configuration where "startx" gave me a working X.

A new file will be created, test is with:

X -config ./xorg.conf.new*

Then, copy that file to /etc/X11 with the name xorg.conf

Now you can login with your new created user and start the graphical environment with the following command:

startx

My user can't play any sound file... What should I do?

Surely your user isn't in the audio group. Check it with the command:

id -n -G

If that's OK, then maybe you have to configure your soundcard, try it with:

alsaconf

How can I manage my packages with Kwort?

Kpkg is the packet manager from Kwort. Read the full documentation here: Package System

I'm trying Kwort in qemu/kvm, but after doing X -configure my resolution can't get any higher than 800x600, is it there a way to fix it?

Yes, edit your xorg.conf (it should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and set in the Monitor settings the HorizSync and VertRefresh. So your Monitor section should look something like this:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "Monitor0"
    VendorName  "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName   "Monitor Model"
    VertRefresh 43-60
    HorizSync   28-64
EndSection
