grml-live vs. debian-live (vs. FAI)
by Darshaka Pathirana 14 Mai '09

14 Mai '09

Hi! The subject says it all: I was trying to find out a short outline why one should use the one or the other. As far as I can unsterstand it after a short evaluation is that both are able to do nearly the same. Both use debootstrap and are able to define hooks and afterwards a ISO is created. The advantage of grml-live seems to be the usage of the FAI-class concept but debian-live seems to be the more "official" way to do it. My motivation is a bit different than *-live and FAI provide. *-live are intended to build a Live-CD and FAI deploys a system on a running machine (by PXE or Boot-CD). I do NOT need a bootable ISO. I need the possibility to install Debian into a USB-Device or CF-Card. So I actually use the base.tar.gz (created by FAI or by an other installation) to untar it onto the target from my running system. Afterwards again some hooks are run and the bootloader is installed. I think this is ridiculous! There must be a better way. Any thoughts about this? Thanks && HAND, - Darsha

Re: [Grml] question related to included Freedos in The GRML distro
by Maurice McCarthy 04 Mai '09

Dear Janusz, I've had a little time to look. I have 2 computers. one is an Acer laptop one year old. It would not boot freedos at all, initdisk had an opcode failure followed by a list of hex numbers which I do not understand. I tried with the grml cd and a freedos 1.0 live and installation cd. The other is an old Pentium II. It looks to me that freedos boots from CD as a floppy emulation whereas grml boots in non-emulation mode. This means that when you say > If i will type > dos > At The GRML live CD boot prompt, free DOS is sucessfully loaded. But > please, which keys should i press to activate A shell? Because when i > wanted to type > > a: > or c: > > Nothink has happened. Or is there only choice to install free DOS or only > graphical shell is included? then you should already have a prompt A:\> Freedos already thinks it is on the A drive so that if you type a: then nothing changes! When you type c: you ought to get an error message saying no such drive or similar. 2. When booting freedos did you choose the option with himem.sys and emm386 and shcdux (the cd driver?) Unless you have a very old system it is probably wise. 3. Perhaps you might get help from www.freedos.org as freedos on grml is kind of an added extra and I don't know if many people use it. 4. If you boot the grml cd and go grub - any key - down arrow once - enter then it boots freedos with a few utils including the dos port of testdisk. It lands on this prompt A:\TOOLS> Now if you go testdisk /list (perhaps without the backslash) then it will list all the current partitions which it can see from dos. This may give you some info as to why you cannot see the fat32 partition. 5. Lastly unless I find my old XP installation disk to try what you are doing for myself then I'm getting stuck on how else to help. Still if you have more questions then please ask. Best Wishes Moss PS I think you right that a bios by default ought to look at a usb device to boot then a cd and thirdly a hard disk. I cannot imagine that finding a usb sound system should present too much difficulty. Perhaps you should try Apple first. Might sound odd but as their EFI boot is vastly superior to the BIOS (which will be replaced in the not too distant future, I reckon) then it would be an enhancement for Apple above the competition. That is there is something in it for them!

Can Grml tell (and repair) what Fedora did?
by Hubert Gabler 04 Mai '09

04 Mai '09

Dear experts, I have a mini-notebook Acer One with Linpus Lite installed. Playing around with this nice little toy I successfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 (replacing Linpus) and on USB-sticks Debian Live and grml 2008.11-rc1. Everything worked perfectly. Then I wanted to install Fedora 10, which semmed to take more time than expected and so I left the Acer unattended over night. Next day the display was frozen and I tried to reboot with the Grml-USB-Stick. Booting stopped quite soon, telling me "This grml image failed to boot" and "No supported filesystem images found at /live". Then came the prompt (initramfs). Hopefully I tried the (previoulsy working) Debian Live Stick. Same thing, booting stops at (initramfs). Now I decided to start from scratch and made a new setup with Acer's recovery disk. System works fine, but Grml and Debian Live still end booting with those error messages. Can it be that the unsuccessfull Fedora installation damaged for instance the buit-in RAM or did other nasty things? Can I find out with help of Ubuntu or Grml 1.1 (works both from CDROM and from a USB-stick) what is the reason and how to return to the original state? Thankful for any help, Hubert

Dear Janusz I've not been able to look too far yet but I'll make a few comments. 1. smartdrv does appear to be a legal download http://webinstituteforteachers.org/resources/software/BOOTDISKS-FOR-GHOSTIN… is hosted by the University of Chicago 2. From memory freedos boots to X: when launched from the grml disk. I'll try to reproduce your problem of moving to a: or c: when I've got time. 3. It is some time since I've used SBM but you may have to hide other drives to see the FAT32 partition as the first partion of the first hard drive. In grub you would use the map command to make it look like (hd0,0) 4. It is another learning curve but grub4dos is a customisation of grub for Windows with certain enhancements such as looking for bootable partitions and loading them automatically. Again I am not well versed in its use. 5. The legality of dos boot disks may be difficult to say but msdos is no longer supported and I think mscdex (? I think that was the name, MS cd driver) waspreviously given away by microsoft themselves. 6. A brief look at Nlite has me thinking it is a procedure allowing you to manipulate what you paid for and I cannot imagine how it would be illegal. 7. Up to Win XP it is usually best when dual booting to install Windows first and then Linux because XP is too stupid to be aware of other operating systems - hence the necessity of 3 above.

question related to included Freedos in The GRML distro
by Maurice McCarthy 02 Mai '09

02 Mai '09

Dear Janusz I'll gladly try to help but it may be a few days before I can explore this for myself. I have forwarded your email to the grml list in case any one there may have a comment also. Best Wishes Moss ----- Forwarded message from "Mgr. Janusz Chmiel" <chmiel(a)phil.muni.cz> ----- Subject: question related to included Freedos in The GRML distro From: "Mgr. Janusz Chmiel" <chmiel(a)phil.muni.cz> Date: Fri, 1 May 2009 12:57:11 +0200 To: Maurice McCarthy <moss(a)mythic-beasts.com> Dear syr, You have been able to answer all my questions and thank's to You, i were able to install GRML to A harddrive, i also deeply understood The parted commands and other administrative tasks. But i would like to ask You for next question. If i will type dos At The GRML live CD boot prompt, free DOS is sucessfully loaded. But please, which keys should i press to activate A shell? Because when i wanted to type a: or c: Nothink has happened. Or is there only choice to install free DOS or only graphical shell is included? Is it possible to legally download smartdrv.exe or similar equivalent, which installation program for Windows Xp will detect like smartdrv? Thank You very much for Your answers. The program winnt.exe can be used for installing Windows XP from DOS, by using setupmgr.exe running from Windows XP which is fully functional, visually impaired user can make fully unattended Windows XP installation. But i Am experiencing methodological problems, for example, i can not boot To The FAT32 partition, which is containing installation files prepared by using setupmgr.exe application. I can access this partition by using Windows XP boot diskette or Windows 98 Se boot diskette, but i can not boot it by using smart boot manager. Eventhough i set The FAT32 partition as a primary, which is a condition to access this partition from DOS, fortunately, gparted is allowing this, that i did not had to use logical partition with FAT32. I could resize existing NTFS partition, and in The free space, i could specifi right start and end of this FAT32 one. Parted is using reliable and safe algorithms, if user knows, what he is doing with this tool. It is possible to boot DOS if this operating system is being installed by a first operating system, in this case, WIndows XP installation program is making officially supported activity to support booting betveen DOS or Windows XP. But i want to support visually impaired users, so they could perform unattended installation when their instalation of WIndows XP is being corrupted. There are even WEB pages with several DOS boot diskettes, which are having included CD ROM Drivers, but i do not know, if those boot disks are legal to use. And there is not many modern computers with floppy drive, and bioses are not setup by The way, so flash disk can beused for booting. And my algorithms are intended to be fully usable by non sighted users. If YOu would support me, i would be very glad. There is awaylable solution, Nlite, But i Am afraid, that Microsoft will force The author of this program to remove it from The Internet, may be, that he consulted licensing issues with The Microsoft CORP, because his WEB site and Nlite program is existing for many years. ¨His solution is working very reliably, even sound drivers can be integrated to The .iso file. But i would like to support official tools for deploying Windows XP installation. Visually impaired users are not able to use partition manager included in Windows XP installation, this tool is also enough to make several partitions, but i like parted and Linux, because i can have full control and feetback from A screen reader. Parted is not supporting so many actions like included partition manager in Windows Xp installation. ----- End forwarded message -----

Specifying default soundcard for live CD
by Michael Whapples 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hello, Is there any way to set the default soundcard to use on the GRML live CD? An example why this might be needed is for those using speakup with software speech when the computer has multiple soundcards, in this case it is useful that the user can predict which card will be used as they require audio output to use the system. If such a feature doesn't exist I am not fully sure what would be the best way to define which card should be default (eg. module used isn't unique to the model of card (however ALSA modules can recieve an option index=<card number> to set the card as a particular card number, so it indicates in the main it is useful enough), but the card name as given by ALSA may not be the easiest thing to know). Any thoughts? Michael Whapples

Installing grml on usb stick
by Peter 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi I wanted to suggest some minor modifications to the instructions concerning the usb stick installation. I found that in order to install grml-medium-2008.11 , I had to adjust the lines in red. I also added some requirements that might not be available , when your build environment is not grml ( I suppose $medium can be replaced with the other flavors but I have not verified ): aptitude install syslinux # syslinux 3.71 or later must be available on your GNU/Linux system <http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/liveusb.php> aptitude install dosfstools # to get mkfs.vfat * Get the grml iso * Mount the iso loopback (e.g. mount -o loop grml_small_0.4.iso /mnt/grml-iso) * Make FAT16 filesystem on the usbstick (e.g. mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1) * Create a disklabel (e.g. dosfslabel /dev/sda1 GRML) * Mount the usbstick (e.g. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/external1) * Copy everything to the usbstick (e.g. cp -r /mnt/grml-iso/* /mnt/external1). * Move all files from /mnt/external1/boot/isolinux/ (mv /mnt/external1/boot/isolinux/* /mnt/external1) and the files linux26 and the minirt.gz (since grml1.1: initrd.gz!) from the directory named like the grml-flavour (/boot/grml, /boot/grmlmedium, /boot/grml64,...) to root of usb-stick in /mnt/external1, mv isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg #I am not sure if this is required, though <http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/usbdisk.html> * the files linux26 and initrd.gz must remain in boot/grmlmedium # this is what is said in syslinux.cfg * Umount the usbstick and the grml-iso * Run syslinux on the usbstick (e.g. syslinux /dev/sda1) * Check if the usbstick has an valid mbr, else dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sda (mbr.bin is in the syslinux package, usually installed in /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin) * may need to set the bootable flag using parted (or fdisk) disk layout: /mnt/external1: addons f1 .. isolinux isolinux.bin syslinux.cfg ldlinux.sys live/ filesystem.module grml-medium.squashfs boot/grmlmedium initrd.gz linux26 Pleases let me know , if I am wrong of if there are better ways to do that ( I know, there is grml2usb, but I want to be sure to understand what's going on) Thanks Peter

ASUS EEE pc
by Josh Lawrence 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi list, Just took possesion of a brand-new ASUS EEE pc. Nice box, but it's currently running Windows, and I'd like to have grml on it. In researching this issue late last week, I ran across two posts, one that said that grml supports the EEE, and another that said that it would be "the next release" until it is supported. While I don't mind getting my hands dirty, I'd prefer not to have to compile any kernel stuff due to time constraints. Long story short, does the EEE work out of the box with the current grml release? Thanks all, Josh -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com

Audio issues with grml HD installation
by Michael Whapples 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hello, I have been using GRML installed to a HD for a few months now but have started to notice that recently the audio does not always start up (it sometimes works without issue but quite a number of times in the last week it hasn't). When the audio fails to start it seems to be that the modules have not been loaded and using modprobe to load the modules and "alsactl restore" brings it back as it should be. Some info about the system: Motherboard is an Asus p4pe with the soundmax onboard sound card (snd_intel8x0 is the module for this card). I also have a terratec dmx 24/96 (module snd_ice1712) installed in the system. When the sound fails to start neither card has its modules loaded. I hope this is enough system specs. My questions are: How can I confirm whether this is a hardware issue or software issue? Should I be adding the snd_intel8x0 and snd_ice1712 modules to /etc/modules or can I rely on grml's autodetection of hardware? Any other suggestions as to the cause of the problem? One thing which I can't imagine causing the problem but I feel worth mentioning as it differs from the norm, is I use speakup (www.linux-speakup.org) and recently I switched to using the speakup_apollo module (from the software synthesiser module for speakup started with boot cheatcode swspeak) for an apollo synthesiser connected to ttyS0, although I am haven't noticed any correlation between starting using speakup_apollo and the sound issue (however this is through not paying attention to exactly when I first noticed the sound issue). Any help would be welcomed. Michael Whapples

Remastering grml
by Peter 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi I am not sure that I understand the instructions for remastering the grml live cd ( old method, not FAI). The man page for grml-live says: Please use squashfs-lzma-tools 3.3.1 if you want to remaster release 2008.11 of grml. I want to remaster the medium flavor. As far as I can see from uname -a , grml 2008 is kernel 2.6.26. However, here <http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/>it is said that only version 2.6.27.6 is officially supported. Also , I was wondering, if this instruction does still apply to grml 2008.11 wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/squashfs/squashfs2.2-r2.tar.gz $ tar xvzf squashfs2.2-r2.tar.gz $ cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build $ patch -p1 --dry-run < /usr/src/squashfs2.2-r2/linux-2.X.Y/squashfs2.2-patch In short, I am asking, what is the recommended way to remaster grml 2008.11 with grml2008.11 as build environment ?

Hi, The evolving of cdrecord/wodim and its device specification have been convoluted enough for me to get lost on how to use its devices.

Hello everyone! Problem: I need to be able to assign a static address to my network card. Last night I encountered a problem with network settings in grml. Initially, I thought that I had to edit /etc/networking/interfaces to set my network properties, but that did not work. After doing some research on Google, I found a post from someone asking a similar question, and he was told too look at grml-tips udev, so I looked at that. I see that I am supposed to create a udev rule in /etc/udev/network.rules, but it doesn't tell me how to go about setting static, dhcp, etc. Where am I going wrong?

Regarding the use of Pump over DHCPCD
by Keith Hinton 24 Mär '09

Hi all, I wanted to ask why grml uses pump and not DHCPCD (latest bleading edge version of course) In my experience when testing grml (compared to Gentoo) or Arch Linux (both of wich use DHCPCD) GRML connected with horribal slowness to my wireless network when broadcasting for an available IP-address.. It would sleep for 60 seconds took over 5 seconds before it connected. I compared this by running DHCPCD on Arch Linux, Gentoo, etc, that use the DHCPCD program. I found no comparason. DHCPCD whins over pump. Regards, --Keith

Mika, your wiki page on laptops hasn't been updated for a while. Could you address anything like: How to turn off the built-in LCD display etc? I'm currently hosting GRML on Windows because so many Linux accessibility solutions don't work. I'm also testing it that way because I can bridge GRML to my net card on Windows, and evn though it's wireless, my router sees an etherneted PC. I gave up using GRML natively due to a large amount of technical applicaitons, that are not accessible. Has nothing to do against GRML Regards, --Keith

madwifi for grml-small

Hello everyone, Last night I installed grml-small on my laptop to give it a spin (had been using the larger version of grml). I needed to install madwifi drivers, but none were available. uname -r tells me that I'm running 2.6.26, but the madwifi modules available are of 2.6.23 and earlier. module-assistant was not able to build the modules b/c the source was not available in the repos. Can you give me any tips as to how to get this working? It's not a major issue at all, I can always go back to the larger version, but it still would be nice to know where I'm going wrong.

The version of Grml should just ork fine (but you'll need to have a vm made first for it) perhaps a better question might be, "Is there a GRML Virtual Machine?"
