new on grlm; questions about version 0.6
by william windels 19 Feb '06

19 Feb '06

Hello, I am new on the grml distribution but I work already 2 years with linux. I am completely blind and I use brltty as screenreader. 1: at the moment I have running the grml distribution 0.6 with mutt 1.5.11 , sendmail, procmail and postfix as mta. Before , I was working with exim (version 3) as mta on a other distribution. Is it not possible to configure mutt to work alone for the following things: - send and receive mail (without external mta) - sort the mail in different mailboxes conform the filters? - each user with his own <;muttrc-file? For example, you can do this with outlook express on ms windows: to send and receive mail, you need only your login with pasword from your provider to receive your mail and the smtp-server from the provider. You can also create filters to sort the incomming mails. But, I love linux much more than windows :) There are also such programs on the x-windows-system I think but I am completely blind and I can not work with x-windows because of that. I can only work with console-programs. 2: perhaps it should be a good idea to add some new function(s) to the user-configuration: - a way to create new users for root: - a way to update the security packages available - perhaps a way to (re)compile the kernel on a user-friendly based system? 3: mounting devices automatically from fstab: As Michael prokop said already , I can not change mountpoints of found devices during hd_install. This is explained with the following lines: # Warning! Please do *not* change any lines below #because they are auto-generated by rebuildfstab! How can I simply change mount-points of found devices so that they are automatically mounted in the new mountpoints after next reboot? If I do rebuildfstab after changing the mountpoints , I receive no message but the devices are not launched automatically. 4: text-packages: Is it not possible to add a configuration-option to the hd_install so that only text-related packages are installed? Perhaps, the packages could be stored in 2 compressed parts on the cd: one for the consolestuff and one for the x-windows system.

grml-0.6 kernel recompile qustion
by Ishwar Rattan 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

Finally took the plunge to compile SMP kernel. downloaded the vanilla linux-2.6.25 sources from ftp.kernel.org downloaded the all-in-one-patch from grml.org applied the patches (no failures seen) compiled the kernel with the commandi (in source directory): fakeroot make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg -append-to-version="-smp" kernel-image modules-image compiles with quite few warnings (too many to list) and creates .deb file installed the .deb file with dpkg -i (system does boot with -smp kernel..) I have a question on entries in /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml-smp some directory entries that exist in /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml (drivers, extra, net etc.) are not created in /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml-smp (only kernel directory is cerated) Is it normal? Is the -smp kernel using some modules from /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml or did I make the kernel/modules wrong? -ishwar

JFYI: grml2hd - problems with debconf on upgrades
by Michael Prokop 14 Feb '06

Hoi! JFYI: If you are using a harddisk installation of grml and update your box(es) you'll notice problems with debconf, e.g.: | dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure): | subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 The problem has been forwarded to upstream: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=351031 We are not yet sure what's the exact problem (have to investigate on it).

print is too small

My father was helping me set up Grml and he told me that the print was too small. How is this enlarged? I haven't messed with this because since I use speech 3/4 of the time I don't need the screen.

grml-x glitches
by Mark 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

I tested the FAQ advice about grml-x and nvidia. The simple command was grml-x -nostart -module nvidia gdm If I run as root, I get a strong warning message that grml-x does not support root. (P.S. Why not?) If I run as a non-root user, I get error messages about the user lacking privileges to run certain binaries. Mark

"speakwith" script
by Charles Hallenbeck 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi people, I think I just sent a private message which ought to have gone to the list. I have been using a script called "speakwith" which takes as an argument a synth name as defined by speakup, including none, sftsyn, and all the HW synth names. It assumes speech-dispatcher has already been run, but that could easily be modified if anyone wants to do that. I place it in /usr/local/sbin so that it must be run as root. It works great for me, and might be useful as an add-on to grml. The script is available from: http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh/speakwith It is pretty well documented. Oh yes, I should mention that at the end of the script it invokes "speakupconf load" to restore synth settings Thant have been saved with that utility, available in the speakup source directory somewhere. Enjoy. And Mika, thanks for a great product. It has saved my ass a couple of times here (or "neck" if you prefer) Regards, Chuck -- The Moon is Waxing Crescent (35% of Full) But you can still get downloads from http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh

nVidia video hardware autodetection bug
by Mark 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

OK, I followed the advice and just tried it on a spare user machine. apt-get install nvidia-kernel-2.6.15-grml That much worked but was not the whole story. Hardware autodetection of the nVidia card seems to be a problem. My current impression is that GRML does not detect it or set it up properly. At boot time, grml-x creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Now as a test, I ran nvidia-xconfig by hand, which creates its own /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Then I rebooted. That didn't work. When I rebooted, X would not start properly. So I fell back to the old xorg.conf. Even though nVidia drivers are installed, GRML 0.6-1 hardware autodetection fails to use them. Hence it could be considered a bug or missing feature in the hardware autodetection. Hardware autodetection is the reason I use GRML, and it has the best I have seen, don't get me wrong. There may well be something I am doing wrong, please forgive me if I seem obtuse or dumb, I just report what I see in terms that I understand. Thanks, Mark

speech script for grml
by Scott Berry 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi Mica and list, Got the speech working well. Now I have one question. I have a script for making Speakup talk. I get as far as speech dispatcher and then it peeters out. How do I tell Zsh to sleep or wait a few seconds before envoking the rest of the command. Also is there any special syntax I must use to echo the synth-name to /proc/speakup/synth_name in this script? This will also hold my prefered speech settings also. I did do a chmod 777 to this file which is located in /usr/bin/sws.

still having problems with software speech on Grml

Hello lists, I am still having problems with Speakup on Grml. I did the following: "echo sftsyn > /proc/speakup/synthname" and then I did: "speechd-up" this did not start the synth talking. I have 128Mb of memory on the Toshiba laptop with a 512Mb swap partition. Any ideas as to why this won't work? Is it a memory issue? -- Scott Berry electronicman1961(a)myfreedombox.com Check out my lazy web doodle at: http://www.myfreedombox.com/users/electronicman1961/ Email services by FreedomBox.

grml and forensics
by Kevin Jones 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hello, I'm in a college computer forensics class. The students are all using the nopix helix live cd and most of the tools are gui. Was wondering what grml had for forensics, or what some users have done in that area. I'm hoping grml on a pendrive so i can install additional packages is a good solution. Pendrive problems, I bought the sandisc minicruiser and found they have a hidden partition with their launchpad program so you cant boot into grml from the drive. Have any users had this problem? Also, how can I make the grml live cd boot up talking with software speech without entering the bootup options? With nopix becomming so popular among computer professionals, it's great to see grml providing similar capabilities to blind users. Kevin

Upgrading to grml 0.6 (see http://grml.supersized.org/archives/136-update-to-grml-0.6.html for more details) won't touch your kernel and upgrading the kernel isn't necessary basically.

grml 0.5 and WPA
by Oliver Vecernik 19 Dez '05

19 Dez '05

Hi again, I'm still trying to connect an Acer TM636 to a local WLAN. I've got an integrated ORiNOCO Mini PCI Card (802.11b), but when I start grml-network to configure eth1 WPA is not offered as choice. Then I read that WG511T should work flawlessly. After rebooting I tried to configure ath0 (again with grml-network). The only information I've got is the SSID and the WPA passphrase. But unfortunately dhclient get's no response. :-( Both cards are fully working under another commercial operating system originally installed on this machine. I'd prefer to use the built in ORiNOCO, but at least the Netgear card should be working. Has anybody got some pointers? -- Oliver

grml cdrom script to import Debian network configuration
by Marc Haber 17 Dez '05

17 Dez '05

Hi, today, I have written a /cdrom/scripts script which imports the network configuration from an installed Debian system. That way, it becomes possible to have _one_ grml medium around which could then in turn be used as a rescue system for _all_ Debian systems at the place for remote rescue, as long as the root filesystem is still reachable. The script searches all found hard disk partitions and LVM devices for a mounteable filesystem containing a file /etc/network/interfaces and then proceeds to copy /etc/network from that filesystem into the grml system before restarting the network devices. That way, the grml system comes up with a network configuration that is likely to work. The script doesn't integrate nicely into grml, it is written in bash, not in zsh, and doesn't use the fancy colorful output of the normal grml init procedure. Maybe one of the grml makers can adapt it to integrate more nicely and then publish it as an example on the grml wiki. One issue that I find especiall annoying is the fact that grml starts a pump process which is still around when our script runs, and will take down the freshly configured interface after timing out. pump -k will also wait for that timeout, and thus impose a delay in system boot.

why pump?
by Marc Haber 17 Dez '05

17 Dez '05

Hi, why is pump still being used as dhcp client in grml? I find dhcp3-client generally more flexible, more verbose in its debug output, and easier to configure. Is this only like "we have always used pump", or are these space issues? Any hints will be appreciated.

Chainboot Cheatcode
by Mark 04 Dez '05

Older PCs do not have BIOS support for USB boot. Some offer USB boot, but it just doesn't work. Some machines only have USB support by means of PCI or ISA cards, and these cannot be booted. All these machines will boot GRML off CD. So, the idea is this - offer a cheatcode to transfer control to a USB/Firewire/SCSI drive. This is not the same thing as using a /home directory on the drive, it means complete Linux system transfer. Mark

Ubuntu = poor boot-time example
by Mark 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Something scared me on GRML's to-do list. http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=todo Todo for grml 0.6 Ubuntu's FasterBoot The reason I am "scared" is that GRML is light years beyond Ubuntu in live booting (w/hardware detection). Ubuntu should be learning from GRML, not vice-versa. Ubuntu took 7 times longer to boot my workstation than Knoppix (let alone GRML). Others report similar results, http://www.osnews.com/permalink.php?news_id=11998&comment_id=36650 Ubuntu developers admit their live boot stuff is a huge mess, unmaintainable, and will be scrapped. That's what their "FasterBoot" initiative is partly about. But GRML is already there! I like very much GRML's pure-Debianized-Knoppix approach, which is so much faster and better than Ubuntu's modified-Morphix-Gnoppix junk. GRML gives all benefits of Knoppix without drawbacks in terms of Debian standards. Mark

Upgrade scenarios and GRML versions
by Mark 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

A new theme now, user upgrades. This note is not about grml2hd, just how to keep my users current over time. Suppose that, for my users, I execute grml2hd to install GRML; and then, on top of GRML, Debian desktop packages (mostly GNOME, maybe Ubuntu if it will work). This is my current plan. The question I have is what problems/issues you foresee in terms of upgrading users over time where GRML is the underlying Debian system. I need to avoid full system re-installs (grml2hd all over again). I believe this job is easy. I just thought I would ask. Experience teaches me that others often think of things that I do not foresee. The main items I want to keep upgraded are (1) kernel and (2) GRML h/w autodetection. These are the critical ones. Both affect driver/hardware support. Mark (p.s. I signed up as a beta tester and would be willing to use beta versions as necessary - since I only have 0.5 right now assume that as baseline)

USB boot success: grml-big-0.5 + grml2hd-0.5.5
by Mark 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

Good news: grml2hd 0.5.5 worked on my test user's USB hard drive. The USB drive booted a system from power up to GRML user login prompt with full hardware autodetection. Here are some observations. In general I'm very happy, I just want to offer some thoughts on room for improvement in grml2hd. GRML is beautiful, don't get me wrong. * The yaird install dialog box mentions SCSI, but not USB or Firewire. It should mention all three explicitly. I know they are all SCSI to Linux, but please help the user. It's an easy string change. * The installer undoes its own work. It spends lots of time copying, as it must, but some of what it copies it later deletes - services like apache, mysql. Note that I kept all the default selections. * I got lots of error and warning messages during this stage - can't stop process, can't delete file, permission denied, things like that; several pages of it; very worrisome and confusing. * A better way (?) is to copy only what the user wants, rather than asking what to delete after it has all been copied over. Show the menu before the copy, not after. Should save lots of time and errors. * The chroot jail question is weird and I didn't know how to answer it. There was another question about MySQL that probably shouldn't be there. If the user doesn't want MySQL, just get rid of everything associated. * The video came out bad. Video for booting from CD-ROM was fine, my font and video scale just what I would expect (without any cheatcodes, just default CD boot). However the USB boot produced an ugly (larger) font size and/or video scale that was also painfully mashed to the left (leftmost character columns not even visible). This was on the same monitor. I don't understand why the difference. CD-ROM video defaults would have been fine for the USB install. We're not talking X here, just text GRML. I did create the X config at the install dialog prompt, but the ugliness lies in the basic GRML screen, not X per se. * I used ReiserFS 3.x and it worked fine, though there seemed to be some miscellany error messages at boot time about accessing this or that (can't remember what). * Just before install, I did a full apt-upgrade on the CD-ROM boot system. It seems there are lots of patches since grml-big-0.5. I mention this only so you know what I actually intalled to the hard drive. * The USB bootup process flashed the screen a few times more than the CD-ROM boot. This flashing must have to do with initrd and all that. It was a little bothersome, that's all. If you can minimize the flashing and jumping, it would be nice. Just keep scrolling the boot text, don't flash around so much. * Some of our older PCs don't have USB boot support in BIOS. They need "helper boot floppies." It would be nice if the installer could create one as an optional step. I'm eagerly awaiting grml-big 0.6. I will hold off configuring my user systems until 0.6 is released. How close is it? Last I heard a few more days... Thanks for this excellent distro and USB support. Regards, Mark

Fragen nach einer hd Installation
by Andreas Kalex 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

Hallo, 1. wie kann ich nach einer grml2hd Installation den Tastenstandard auf das deutsche Layout setzen? Bei den bootoptionen gebe ich es per grml lang=de an aber nach der grml2hd Installation wird bereits beim booten gemeldte dass das us layout benutzt wird. Temporär kann ich es mit grml-lang de ändern. Doch wie dauerhaft? dpkg-reconfigure console-data hat nicht den gewünschten Effekt 1.a Nach der temporären Änderung ist die Änderung nur auf der Konsole aktiv nicht unter X. In der xorg.conf ist dies:"XkbLayout" "de" enthalten. 2. ich möchte die Auflösung unter X auf 1024x768 setzen. Der Aufruf grml-x -mode 1024x768 fluxbox funktioniert nur wenn die Live-CD läuft, nicht von der HD-Installation. Wo kann ich das ändern? 3. Ich will eine feste IP Adresse vergeben aber beim Start wird immer der dhcp benutzt; wenn ich den über die autoconfig nicht starten lasse, wird überhaupt keine IP Adresse gesetzt. Nutze ich dann netcardconfig so stehen die schon mal benutzten Werte bereits als Vorgabe drin. hmm? Gruss Andreas

Vshnu (Mix out of shell, perl and mc) maybe for an upcimong release of grml?
by Michael Cracauer 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

In the current Linux-Magazine is a report about Vshnu. Vshnu exist now for several years, but was anknown for me and many others. Have a look: http://www.linux-mag.com/content/view/2332/ It´s a nice program, maybe it can be added to grml, as an alternative to zsh and mc. Would really like it. --------------------------------- Gesendet von Yahoo! Mail - Jetzt mit 1GB kostenlosem Speicher

yaird failure in grml-small-0.1y + grml2hd 0.5.5
by Mark 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

I've been testing USB hard drive boot with grml-small-0.1y, and Michael has helped - thanks. It's close to solved, but not quite yet. The last thing I tried was a grml2hd 0.5.5 from http://grml.org/tmp/grml2hd_0.5.5_i386.deb which includes the initrd step. It failed as follows: "There was an error running yaird for creating an initrd: create_initrd: 21: command not found: yaird. Sorry" I begin to think grml-small is the wrong test platform. It lacks too many packages and documentation. (I need docs when all I have is a command prompt.) It gets frustrating to constantly wget and apt-get before I can run a script. I wish to stop using grml-small. The only version of grml-big that I have is 0.5. I can install grml2hd 0.5.5 on that, presumably. Someone send email if you have any better thoughts. I am open to suggestions. Thanks- Mark

Should I reinstall? I think that usb-modules are not loaded even after starting hotplug-light. It comes out that usb-storage module is not loaded at system boot. Modprobe usb-storage, followed by hotplug-light start works fine. Also, I am confused about entries in /etc/runlevel.conf, the third column has '-' in most of the entries. How is the runlevel (3rd col entry) determined for a service? For services: autofs, cupsys, hotplug-light, syslog-ng as in update-rc.d cupsys defaults 20 does not specify the runlevel of cupsys... My guess for runlevels would be: autofs/3, cupsys/3, hotplug-light/3, syslog-ng/2?? For stopping these services I would guess runlevel 6. Is there a rule of thumb for this decision? Regards, -ishwar

Mobile GRML
by Mark 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi, GRML is very nice work, my new favorite distro. I'm not a heavy sysadmin; but GRML almost matches some needs here. Since you ask for feedback and wishes...mine relates to grml2hd and the user scenario. The grml-small release is great for USB flash sticks. Thank you for providing that. Consider another scenario with grml-big. Think of a "mobile Linux desktop" on this type of device, http://mobilemag.com/content/100/334/C3401/ http://castle.pricewatch.com/s/search.asp?s=WD+passport&srt=t&his=0&paging=1 These drives have lots of room for less money than flash, without lifespan problems. They sell around US$120 and get cheaper all the time. They allow a mobile user to carry his entire desktop and data between home, work, school, friends, hotel. Let other people carry laptops around, you can boot them too. GRML doesn't load down heavy stuff in advance, which I like. After GRML installs, I can add GNOME or KDE per user requests. So, I ran grml2hd to a drive and rebooted...but got a kernel panic. No SCSI, I guess. Next I followed verbatim FAQ instructions, to test the FAQ. Nothing worked. grml2hd makes the same assumption of all installers: if the OS is going to hard disk, it can ditch drivers and keep only the running system. For example even yaird boasts of doing "a better job of deciding which modules are needed for your system, so it produces smaller images." Culling is evil for the mobile scenario. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but... Ideally a mobile user boots like the CD-ROM (same ramdisk-based autodetection?), but without compressed CD images, ISOLINUX, or loopback tricks. The mobile user just needs Debian with full hardware auto-detection and all hardware modules. I would prefer h/w autodetection even on IDE drives inside tower PC cases. That way I can swap boards, memory, ethernet, etc. without breaking configs. I can drop the IDE drive into a USB enclosure for instant mobility. A few other other ideas: - the status line at bottom of screen shows date/time *twice* (?!?) - show IP on the status line (w/ flag for DHCP or static) - grml2hd could offer multi-partition features, e.g. a separate boot partition - grml2hd could set up secure partitions -- http://mareichelt.de/pub/texts.cryptoloop.php -- optional choice for all top-levels /home /var and such, except /boot - grml2hd's X question for the mobile scenario is puzzling; yes the user needs X, but not for a specific PC - grml-big won't fit on CD-RW media or older (650 MB) CD-R; would be nice to fit on CD-RW, could trim a little to fit Thanks...GRML is super and I like it. Mark

grml auf usb-stick, Fehler beim Booten
by rwv＠linuxpaten.org 25 Okt '05

Hi Leute, Erstmal ein allgemeines Hallo in die Runde ;-) Und dann zu einem Problem: Ich habe grml_small_0.1 gemäss der Anleitung im Wiki auf einen USB-Stick installiert, hat auch alles soweit geklappt er bootet. Nach der Laufwerkserkennung bleibt er allerdings mit einer Fehlermeldung stehen bzw. bringt dann den busybox-Login. Die Fehlermeldung lautet: "can't find grml file system" oder so ähnlich. Habe schon diverse boot-Optionen durchprobiert, so z.b. usb, bootfrom etc. leider funktioniert nichts. Hat das vielleicht schon mal jemand von euch gehabt und weiss eine Lösung?

I recently discovered GRML and have been playing with it now for a couple of days. You guys have done one hell of a job! # CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set I have an app that I would like to include on the CD which requires a kernel with legacy pty's, yet the kernel on 0.4 has this turned off. Can you tell me the steps I need to take in order to replace the kernel with one that includes legacy pty's? Thanks. Jim

Moin Jungs, Folgende Probleme traten auf, als ich mal den devel-release in das CD-Laufwerk gelegt hab. ;-) 1.) Xorg startet nicht sofort, erst nach manueller Konfiguration mit xorgconfig, konnte ich xorg starten, error-log haengt dran. 2.) Ich habe keine Schrift im Fluxbox-Menue. Ist das bereits ein bekannter Bug? Oder liegt das an mir? 3.) Meine Wireless-LAN Karte (D-Link DWL-G650 Rev. C2) wurde nach laden der Module wlan, wlan_wep, ath_hal, ath_pci erkannt. Leider, was nicht an grml liegt, muss ich mit setpci ein subordinate-feld aendern: setpci -s 0:a.0 SUBORDINATE_BUS=0A - Danach laeuft die Karte auch reibungslos. :) Mein PCMCIA-Kontroller ist mit einem Yenta-Chip bestueckt. Des Weiteren gibt es auch positive (*gg*) Nachrichten. Powernowd laeuft nachdem Start reibungslos, die restliche Hardware, sprich meine 1GBIT Netzwerkkarte mit tg3 wurde auch erkannt, was zB Kanotix64 nicht tut. Tjo, das war es erstmal, werd noch weiter spielen und testen. :) MfG Screenshots, Logs und dmesg: http://grml.marcelcedric.net

Hello grml-users, I'd like to replace "hwsetup"-stuff on grml with hotplug/discover/hwinfo. This could save some time when booting grml. grml already uses hotplug/discover/hwinfo and hwsetup is needed only for creating the X-configuration-file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 when running grml-x. Everyone of you who has a grml 0.3-CD has access to the "new X-system" grml-x2. grml-x2 is under development but *should* work already (basically). What's important for me is feedback whether grml-x2 works for you or not. Please run 'grml-x2 $WINDOWMANAGER' [e.g. 'grml-x2 wmi' to start wmi] instead of 'grml-x $WINDOWMANAGER' and please let me know if it works for you or if you notice any problems. If you have any special wishes for grml 0.4 please let me know them too! regards, -mika- -- ,'"`. http://www.michael-prokop.at/ ( grml.org -» Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins `._, http://www.grml.org/

GRML auf russisch
by Julius Plenz 09 Mär '05

09 Mär '05

Hallo! Ich habe gerade eben GRML mit dem Bootparameter lang=ru gestartet, bin davon allerdings nicht begeistert. Die Lokalen sind soweit richtig gesetzt: grml@grml ~ % locale LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R [...] Allerdings ist sonst fast nichts richtig. :-P 1.) Auf dem Framebuffer kann man auch nach einem loadkeys ru keine russischen Zeichen tippen. Und ich habe keine Ahnung, was man dagegen tun kann. ;) 2.) XTerms haben immer noch eine ISO-8859-1-Schrift. Sie bräuchten aber eine koi8-r-Schrift. Eine schlechte, die ich mit xfontsel gefunden habe, ist -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r. Um ein Xterm damit zu starten, muss man folgendes Kommando ausführen: noglob grml-x xterm -fn -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r 3.) Es gibt KEIN TOGGLE. Man kann in X *nur* noch russisch tippen. Das Muss unbedingt verändert werden. :P Dazu wäre eine Änderung der /GRML/usr/sbin/mkxconf nötig. Ich bin nicht erfahren im Shell-Skripting, aber in Zeile 138 müsste IMO etwas verändert werden. Mein X-Setup sieht an der Stelle so aus: Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrls_toggle,grp_led:scroll" Das bewirkt, dass der Xserver zwischen zwei Tastaturlayouts wechseln kann. Man wechselt das Layout, indem man die linke und die rechte Control-Taste *gleichzeitig* kurz drückt (grp:ctrls_toggle). Wenn Russisch als Layout ausgewählt ist, dann leuchtet die Scroll-Tastatur-LED auf (grp_led:scroll). Leider weiß ich nicht genau, wie man das realisieren kann, aber ich hoffe ihr könnt mit diesen beiden Optionen etwas anfangen. Und zu "Was haelst Du davon, Grml-Entwickler zu werden?": Ja, wenn ihr meint, dass ich hilfreich sein kann, dann gerne! Julius

Ein paar Kleinigkeiten
by Julius Plenz 08 Mär '05

08 Mär '05

Hallo! Wieder zu Hause angekommen habe ich heute Nachmittag und gerade eben die GRML-CD ausgepackt und mal geschaut, was da so drauf ist. Und ich bin begeistert. Toll! Die werde ich mir noch ein paar weitere Stunden anschauen. Ich bin einfachmal so die Programme, die ich oft benutze, durchgegangen und bin auf ein paar kleine Sachen gestoßen, von denen ich meine, dass sie noch in GRML fehlen. 1.) USB-Sticks Wie wäre es, wenn man schon ein Verzeichnis /mnt/usb vorbereitet und folgenden Eintrag in die /etc/fstab schreibt: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,rw,user 0 0 Dann kann man einfach mit mount /mnt/usb; cd !$ auf den USB-Stick zugreifen und muss nicht erst ein Verzeichnis erstellen. 2.) mkdir <=> md In der Zsh fehlt mir eindeutig das Alias von md auf 'mkdir -p'. Das finde ich ganz, ganz wichtig! 3.) set list in Vim Viele Mögen das Standardverhalten von der Option 'list' ist Vim nicht ($ am Ende der Zeile, ^I als Tab...) - Muss ja auch nicht jeder haben. Wünschenswert wäre aber, dass list angeschaltet wird, so dass man den Unterschied zwischen Tabs und Spaces erkennt. Mit diesem Kommando werden nur Tabs markiert: set list listchars=tab:»· 4.) grep mit --color=auto evtl. -i grep wird oft gebraucht, und damit man schnell den Treffer, den grep gefunden hat, mit den eigenen Augen findet, lässt man sich das am besten anzeigen mit --color=auto. Ich finde es praktisch, wenn man auch noch ein -i dazufügt, also case-insensitive matching. alias grep='grep [-i] --color=auto' 5.) lftp/Farben In meinem Lieblingscleint lftp werden bei einem 'ls' die Verzeichnisinhalte des Servers farbig dargestellt, genau wie bei einem lokalen 'ls'. Das funktioniert aber nur, wenn die Shell die Variable $LS_COLORS explizit setzt. 6.) elinks in der root-Shell Alt+1 bis Alt+3 wechseln ja auf eine root-Shell, wo ein screen läuft, der sich offensichtlich nicht beenden lässt. Soweit sogut. Wenn man aber in dem screen elinks aufruft, werden keine Farben angezeigt, weil sich screen vom Terminal her nicht als xterm oder linux oder vt110 oder sonst irgendetwas ausgibt, sondern als 'screen'. Also muss man auch Farben im Terminaltyp 'screen' erlauben: set terminal.screen.colors = 1 in die /etc/elinks/elinks.conf Ansonsten hat GRML bei mir einen extrem positiven Eindruck hinterlassen. Wenn ich morgen mal Zeit habe, werde ich GRML mal auf russisch starten und schauen, was da so geht... :D Julius
