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

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.

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

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

Wishlist: automount by names
by T 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Hi I know grml can (re)generate fstab on boot each time. However, I'd like to access my partitions by their names instead of sda7, sda12, which I have no way to remember. So I have to disable the automatic fstab generation on boot. I hope that grml can utilize the automount, as knopsis does, and use udev to access them by their names, ie disk labels. The bonus is that USB drives will be taken care of as well by this. Would this happen in near future, or I'm out of luck and have to find the way to do it myself. thanks tong

If I vary the zipping level from gpg I get more errors with higher compression and less errors with lower compression. I found out that the md5sum of restored "damaged copies" is the same as of the original files (as Mr. Marcus Williams wrote). My solution is to verify the "damaged copies" against the filesystem. If a file is really damaged, then I do a special backup for it first and then by reducing the compression level. Many thanks for for your help, regards, Eugen

Xorg, choosing default resolution
by T 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

[reposted from other mlist] Anyone can help me out with the following? Mika, any thoughts or ideas? Is it an xorg problem, or purely X driver related. I'm using fglrx for my ATI BTW. This happens after I upgrade from grml0.7 to grml0.8. thanks a lot Subject: Xorg, choosing default resolution Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.user Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2006 15:12:35 +0200 Hi My Xorg starts up in 1280x960 mode, which I don't like. I like it to be 1152x864. How can I make my Xorg starts up in 1152x864 mode? Here is my Screen. See, there is no 1280x960 listed in the mode, but yet Xorg starts with it. Section "Screen" Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]" Device "aticonfig-Device[0]" Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 24 # DefaultMode 1152x864 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection The man page says "the first valid mode in this list will be the default display mode for startup". Yet my xorg fails that also. Moreover, The word "DefaultMode" is not recognized by Xorg. So, how could I? thanks tong ps - my xorg: $ apt-cache policy xorg xorg: Installed: 1:7.0.22 Candidate: 1:7.0.22 - the same xorg.conf works fine for xorg6.9 before.

Dependency on console bitmap fonts

Hi I'm not used to the new console-terminus font, and would perfer the traditional one. However, I can't remove it: $ apt-get remove --purge console-terminus The following packages will be REMOVED: console-terminus* grml* grml-autoconfig* grml-debugtools* grml-etc* grml-x* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Would it be a better idea to have this extra eye candy to be recommended, as opposed to required? I was able to remove it in grml0.7 and didn't have any problem with that... thanks tong

grml0.8 grml2hd test report
by T 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi I just tried grml2hd from grml0.8 with: grml2hd partion=/dev/sda4 mbr=/dev/sda4 filesystem=ext3 user=tong - grml2hd said partion /dev/sda4 can't be found. Manually choose the sda4 from the provided menu entry works fine. - "user=" parameter didn't work. grml2hd still prompts 'grml' as the default user. The mbr & filesystem parameter seem to be working fine. - Since I don't have network access (due to no eth0), I run grml2hd as-is, ie, without using the latest version. But it failed to create initrd, because it can't find the grml kernel module file, IIRC. - Installing lilo failed subsequently, because it can't find the initrd.

Grml2hd Xorg.conf screen blanks
by Mark 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

grml live CD 0.8 final plus "apt-get update; apt-get install grml2hd" At the xorg.conf step, if I say "yes," part of the screen goes black. The dialogs become impossible, although staying active. (If only they were movable with the mouse.) If I say "no" everything works fine. The blackness is top to bottom across ~40% of the horizontal, sort of middle of screen. nVidia GeForce card, but without nvidia drivers, just the live CD with no special boot codes (except noswap). When I ctrl-c out of the script, the screen is still bad, so I have to reboot. M

time zone again
by Martin Yazdzik 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Dear Mika and Friends, Okay, as you read in the other thread, I now have fglrx with working 3d hw accel. I dare not, however, boot out of old grml into new, because new grml is convinced that my hw clock is set to gmt. Since this is a laptop, I need to boot into new grml and tell it that my clock is in NYC, edt, my laptop is, sadly, in NYC, edt, and there is only one time I need to know today, which is the time in NYC. tz config sets the time to six hours earlier, because it is sure that I must be wrong. I am not. I know where I am. I have disabled all the time stuff in autoconfig. There is not point even trying to set up evolution and so on until every app takes its time settings from the system clock, which should take its settings from the cmos clock, which, because we all have to boot into windows once a year, is set to local time. Please find a simple solution to this.

Re: [Grml] everthing except fglrx (goodnews/badsnews)
by Martin Yazdzik 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Dear Friends, Many thanks to Lars for the files. Lars has the driver working, but not the kernel modules for 3d. I can, with no effort, have the fglrx driver for 2d.(never been an issue - perhaps I was unclear - by "working, I mean a full module load with functional 3d, nothing less, since that is the design objective of the driver. Note that the usual blurb is "if x works but no 3d, kernel module is not loading.) Finally, one can build and load the kernel module from either the grml sources, or the ati site. This is big progress, as only the grml sources worked in .7. The good news on this is that the behaviour of the live cd and the install are exactly the same - whether grml-x -module fglrx or modprobe fglrx, I get the same result. The bad news is that that result is best described as the screen slowly blanking to a white mess of nothing. Notes: same for all versions of xorg, 7 and 7.1. 3d works perfectly in grml 7 on this box, with xorg 7.0, so there is no issue with 7.0, in se. only the grml version works in .7, any attempt to use the ati packages does not allow the build of a loadable module. obviously, the ati installer works fine in sid when sid is installed via the etch installer, although I have not tested it with xorg 7.1. Please read the word "works" as in strict english, to wit, function as per design, i e, 3d is provided by fglrx libs, since the purpose of the driver is to provide both 2d and 3d acceleration. So, why does the driver work in grml 7 but not 8? glxinfo.txt is from the .7 install. Will keep exploring.

everthing except fglrx works

grml2hd was without any problem whatsoever, except for ghe fglrx driver - I shall try two or three solutions and write back, but grml-x should work to produce a valid working 3d system if at all possible. Well, that is a big "if" ;) best, M
