Hi I love to use the lucidasans fonts. But I've just noticed that I don't have lucidasans fonts in grml. Checking with xlsfonts | grep -i lucidasan all I got are w-lucidasans-* fonts. I looked further into it grep lucidasan /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.alias tells me that those fonts are from 75dpi x-fonts, but I've got the xfonts-75dpi fonts intstalled? ii xfonts-75dpi 75 dpi fonts for X ii xfonts-bolkhov-cp1251-75dpi 75 dpi CP1251 encoded Cyrillic fonts for X (Cyr-RFX collection) why I don't have the lucidasans fonts? please help. thanks

grml_from_hd

Hi what exactly does the cheat code grml_from_hd does? Recently I used to choose the "grml-nofb" lilo option for my HD installation booting, but just realized that the "grml_from_hd" cheat code is not there (a HD installation/lilo bug?). would there be any negitive effect about it? thanks

changing IP
by Thomas Springer 17 Jul '06

After installing GRML 2 HD, grml gets it's IP-Adress via IP. I changed this setting via "netcardconfig" to a fixed IP, this change seems to be recorded, the ip is changed immediately. After rebooting the system gets the old DHCP-IP again. How do I change the IP to a permanently fixed IP? thomas

Strange default xterm setting
by T 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hi I have the following menu entries in my fluxbox menu: [exec] (Top) {xterm -e top} [exec] (Run) {fbrun} What's strange is that when I choose the "Top" menu entry, the content of top will build up in xterm -- new content shows up below the old one, instead of overwriting them. The same things happens when I tried to "Run" the "xterm -e top" (with the "Run" menu entry) If I launch an xterm, weather via command line or the "Run" menu entry, and issue the top command there, the display is normal -- new content overwriting the old one. I think the reason might be because of the default grml xterm setting, which is resetted by my .profile once the xterm is launched normally. Please comment. thanks

FYI, grml 0.7 kernel venerable
by T 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hi You may have known that the kernel that grml 0.7 uses is venerable. Recently an official Debian Server was compromised because of it. The venerable exists in the Linux kernel 2.6.13 up to versions before 2.6.17.4, and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.24, both of which were released on 2006-07-06. For details, check out http://lists.debian.org/debian-news/debian-news-2006/msg00030.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2006/07/msg00056.html For the fix. please refer to http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/418 HTH tong

grml and vmware
by T 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hi Anybody has successfully installed vmware under grml hd installation? I bumped into the following 2 problems: - vmware-install.pl asks for the rc?.d directories: What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? - vmware-config.pl asks for kernel header files The 2nd is the one that stops me. I have linux-kernel-headers-grml installed, but that alone did not work. So I went ahead and installed linux-headers-2.6.16-2 linux-headers-2.6.16-2-686, but I was stopped by the following: The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.16-2-686) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.16-grml). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. It went back to ask me for kernel header files. Please help thanks
