grml-x in rc1
by martin yazdzik 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Dear M and friends, I tried today to play with the rc1 Following issues: 1. in attempting to su to grml to run grml-x, get "cannot find file grml" error 2. if I run grml-x as root, all seems to be well, but then the error "priority is -1 instead of requested -0" then nothing 3. if I change to bash, and run grml-x as grml, all seems to be well, I get the note creating x-authority, then the errno111 no reply from xserver In other words, in grml 0.9, then grml 1.0, x was easy, grml-x -module radeon fluxbox, and x appeared within seconds. In the current release candidate, I am convinced that either I am stupid, or there is a problem with grml-x, or both. Best, Martin

I've just installed grml with the help of a friend. I also boot windows on the same pc. I have a fat32 partition that used to show up in my computer in windows before I installed grml. What do I need to do to make the drive show again? Willem.

z shell question
by martin yazdzik 10 Feb '08

10 Feb '08

/home/yazdzik/.zshrc:[:237: too many arguments /home/yazdzik/.zshrc:[:977: too many arguments yazdzik@grml1 ~ % Dear Mika and friends, Since you are all z shell to the core(okay, really bad pun) why do I argue so much? Also, the latest grub update is disastrous, as it eats the menu.lst for breakfast, leaving an unbootable system, but I suspect you know this. What would be cool is a way to get grub back, as the population of devices by udev in lilo is a process best measured in years. Is there a way to do this with the live cd which respects the uuid? Best to all of you, Martin "If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads." -France

Hi Does anybody knows what that means ? I made sure that I have build-essentials, linux-headers , gcc-4.2 , but all this has already been on the dist. I found many, many posts concerning this error on Google, but I just can not figure out what it means in my context Thanks for your help Peter

by Jerry Matheny 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

I've tried apt-get update && apt-get install gnome-orca on the latest grml 1.1, and it comes to packages with bug reports and saying it needs to install those versions, and I try that and it eventually dies. I forget the error, but anyone have any ideas if there's a different way to go about this? Thanks in advance, Jerry

by Peter 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Hi I was just trying to install the new 1.1 release grml 1.1 rc iso inside VMware workstation 6. I have already done this successfully with grml 1.0. However, when I do : # fisk /dev/sda I get : Error: Unable to open /dev/sda : Unrecognized disk label This did not happen in grml 1.0 where I was able to create a partition with fdisk on /dev/sda Any ideas ? Thanks Peter

Problem with swspeak in GRML 1.1rc1
by Jerry Matheny 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

I did a grml2hd with the new GRML 1.1rc1 version and it doesn't work, and to top it off the sound is all crackily very bad to the point where I can't even understand what the speech is saying. But it's acting like something pertaining to speakup isn't being loaded properly, and something gets messed with sound in the grml2hd script. Not sure what the deal is, any help would be very much appreciated. And the Speakup spelling everything is kinda annoying too. lol, but I understand that's a Kernel issue. Thanks in advance, Jerry
