grml startet nicht (mounting /cdrom/GRML/GRML failed)
by Felix Schwarz 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hallo, leider startet grml nicht auf meinem Laptop (Start von CD). Die div. Schnittstellen (USB, Firewire, etc.) werden gesucht, allerdings taucht anschließend folgende Fehlermeldung auf: > mount: Mounting /cdrom/GRML/GRML on /GRML failed: Invalid argument > Can't find grml filesystem, sorry. Die Zeile direkt davor besagt nur: Accessing grml CD-ROM at: /dev/hdc [ok] Ich verwende grml 0.8 auf einem HP Omnibook 6100. ACPI-Probleme o.ä. hatte ich auf dem Gerät eigentlich noch nie. Natürlich habe ich auch schon mit "grml acpi=off noapm noapic" sowie Kombinationen mit "failsafe" gestartet, allerdings ohne dass sich im Ergebnis irgendetwas verändert hätte. Bei "debug" weiß ich nicht so recht, was ich eingeben soll. Was kann ich noch machen, um den Fehler zu diagnostizieren bzw. vielleicht sogar zu beheben? Ich hoffe mal, mein Problem ist keine FAQ, jedenfalls habe ich nichts entsprechendes in der FAQ oder im Wiki gefunden. -- Felix

Now, I could use kdm, if I wished, which I don't, (but I like everything to work ;) )but every time dependent thing, calendars, etc, now works right from angfang on. So, both issues, time and charset were related, I did not know how, but you, as always, solved the issue. You are indeed the best. Best, M

closer to time zone issue
by Martin Yazdzik 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Dear mika and friends, okay, the problem with the timezone issue is that grml8 thinks that the bios is indeed set to local time, but in Wien. grml8: root@mylap1 ~ # date Thu Sep 7 03:09:04 CEST 2006 root@mylap1 ~ # tzconfig Your current time zone is set to America/New_York Do you want to change that? [n]: n Your time zone will not be changed but in grml7: root@grmlap1 ~ # date Wed Sep 6 21:31:01 EDT 2006 root@grmlap1 ~ # tzconfig Your current time zone is set to America/New_York Do you want to change that? [n]: Okay, what I want is for the complete system to know that bios is set to NY, all programmes should read time as NY, and when I come home to Klagenfurt or Scotland, allow me to display those times with the gui, as being set off from the system time, which has to be NY. This has something to do with the grml2hd setup but what I do not know. What it does have to do with the problem as I originally described it is that kde root always takes the time from the system time. Thus, kdm will presume that Vienna/AT is in fact the correct time, then, at reboot, set the hw clock to it. This is not desirable, for obvious reasons. Evolution, kontact, the clock screensaver, everything should reflect where I am, not where the install script thinks I should be, whether or not I would rather be there. The solution in grml7 was to "no" all the references in time autoconfig. Why does this not work in 8? Thanks for being so patient.

Dear Mika und Freunde, Ich bitte um tausend Mal Pardon, aber nur eines: gestartet in debug: date "Wed Sep 6 22:30:30 EDT 2006" dann, gdm, dann gleich: root@mylap1 ~ # date Thu Sep 7 04:39:06 CEST 2006 Igendwo beim X startup liegt Irgendwas dass stoert, oder root config, als: yazdzik@mylap1 ~ % date Wed Sep 6 22:41:12 EDT 2006 yazdzik@mylap1 ~ % Oder auch nichts....

more timezone fun
by Martin Yazdzik 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Dear Friends, A most peculiar set of behaviours: 1. Using gdm, whether kde or gnome desktop, times are all correctly identified as New York. 2. Using kdm, nothing changes the settings away from Vienna, again, whether gnome or kde desktop, times are cest. 3. The settings, trash, and home folders are missing from kde/konqueror(may or may not be related. 4. Checking it out from gnome or flux, kcontrol will accept the gui order to move timezone to new york, but it does not "take." 5. The usual things, disabling all the time things in autoconfig have no effect. 6. Why would kdm take a different tz setting than gdm? Best, M

network not on when boot up Grml 0.8
by T 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Hi I had the problem before in Grml 0.7, and now in Grml 0.8 -- my network not on when booting up Live CD. /etc/init.d/networking start works only for lo, not eth0. ifconfig -a shows only the 'lo' device. Any one having the same issue? thanks

Hi Currently grml does not provides the /dev/dvd link. I remember I read somewhere that merely adding a rule symlink to /etc/udev/rules.d/ will do. But I just can't find it any more. Any one knows about how to do it? thanks tong
