Speakup softsynth not talking with grml 1.1 installation
by Ernst-Dieter Wedekind 28 Mai '08

28 Mai '08

Hi listers, I recently installed grml 1.1 on my hard disk and can't seem to get it talking through my softsynth device. I went through all the configuration files of speech-dispatcher and espeak but couldn't find the cause. However if I use the cdrom speakup talks through my hardware apollo synth as well as through software synth. I would like to have it talk through software synth. Any ideas as to what I might do? I'd like to add that I'm blind and therefore can't read the messages coming up when the system started and I enter swspeak! I also entered swspeak as a start parameter on the cdrom and on the hard disk installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ernst

"dpkg --purge etckeeper" was the goal to solve the Problem! Ok but what can I do if I still would like to use etckeeper. As far as I know I can save different States from etc files to downgrading to the old Version when i get an error in a configuration. Do I have the files manually backup? automatic backup of course, would also be a nice tool to have. regards BjÃ¶rn 2008/5/23, grml-request(a)mur.at <grml-request(a)mur.at>: > > Send Grml mailing list submissions to > grml(a)mur.at > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > grml-request(a)mur.at > > You can reach the person managing the list at > grml-owner(a)mur.at > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Grml digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

grml medium on HD, no IP info?
by Lars Schimmer 30 Apr '08

30 Apr '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Kinda stuck now. I installed grml-medium to disk and it went fine so far. But now I installed the glftpd FTP daemon (yeah, I know) and tried to connect to it. To bad, that daemon always get a unknown(a)0.0.0.0 IP for the user who tries to log in. That works on the machine I try to replace. Is there anythin I forgot (no, the glftpd config kept the same).

how to upgrade
by didi.segbert＠arcor.de 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Hello, i have installed the latest version of grml to harddisk. If i do the following commands the upgrade of packages will stop with an error of dpkg, if the gkrellmd package will be upgraded. apt-get update apt-get upgrade I have also tested apt-get upgrade -f or apt-get dist-upgrade I have also done apt-get remove gkrellmd* But i become allways the same error. I want to use gnome-orca with gnome-desktop and so i have installed apt-get install gnome-orca apt-get install gnome-desktop. but the command orca -t produces a lot of errors, and so i think it is the best to bring all the installed packages to the newest version. Or is it better to change the distribution from lenny/sid to edge and if yes, how can i do that. Thanks for your help. Regards Dietmar

recovery from mkfs error?
by John Magolske 21 Apr '08

21 Apr '08

I've heard grml comes with forensic tools, and so was wondering if there's anything in the toolkit that might help me recover from an unpleasant mistake. Trying to reformat a usb thumbdrive, I overlooked the fact that /dev/sda was my 160GB external hard drive (ext3), and that the thumbdrive was actually /dev/sdb. I issued this command: mkfs -t vfat -I /dev/sda The most important stuff was backed up, but there is some pain involved. Any suggestions (yes, I know... PAY ATTENTION!!) or pointers much appreciated.

Loading 2.6.20-grmlEBDA is big ... booting hangs
by John Magolske 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

I'm installing grml 1.1 on an HP tc1100 tablet. The Hard drive has been replaced with a 12GB CF card (SanDisk Extreme III). I stepped through the grml2hd process selecting all the defaults. When booting, after the splash screen, this message comes up and the machine hangs: Loading 2.6.20-grmlEBDA is big; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage Any suggestions much appreciated. - John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

Re: [Grml] [grml] config questions
by didi.segbert＠arcor.de 27 Mär '08

Hello Micka thanks for your help. I have added the modules snd-sb16 and parport-pc in the correct order into /etc/modules and that works. I have spend a lot of time to become dsl to work. pppoeconf has created a file dsl-provider in /ettc/ppp/peers/ and pon dsl-provider start the connection. If i run lynx like: lynx http://www.wdr.de nothing will happen. If i add a line : nameserver 129.13.64.5 to the two existing lines of nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf the above lynx-command works. How can i add a extra dns-server to resolve.conf or must i change something into the dsl-provider file? I want to add the aqmoney-0.6.x paket and openhbci, and the aqmoney- interface, so i have done. apt-cache search banking to look how the correct name of the paket is, but there is only the aqbanking package. Can i download the package from an other server and install aqmoney? Another question to start the grml from usb-stick modified for the eeePC, is: grml starts from usb-stick, if have added a line options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig in the alsa-base and have created a modified initrd-file. also i have created a second partition of 300MB (ext2) on that usb-stick. The label of the second partition is GRMLCONFIG. grml boot from usb-stick and the df command shows, that the stick is /dev/sdb1. So i added the myconfig=/dev/sdb2 to the syslinux.cfg, but grml does not mount the the /dev/sdb2 partition and restore my config.tbz from there. What can i do or must i use an other bootparameter? Thanks for your help. Regards. Dietmar
