Hi I must have one fundamental step missing from setting up my compiling environment. This is what I got when compiling a c file: In file included from /usr/include/errno.h:36, from archh.c:1637: /usr/include/bits/errno.h:25:26: error: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [/home/tong/local/bin/archh] Error 1 I found the file "linux/errno.h" is at /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-grml/include/linux/errno.h $ ls -l /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-grml/include/linux/errno.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1027 03-20 06:53 /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-grml/include/linux/errno.h How should I tell gcc to look for headers in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-grml/include for all c files, the Debian way? thanks (and sorry for the a bit OT question). tong

grml website down
by Mark 26 Aug '06

26 Aug '06

The website http://grml.org/ which resolves to http://81.223.126.153/ has been down all day. The grml package repositories are unaccessible, too. Is anyone in North/South America having the same problem? Maybe bandwidth quota was exceeded with the 0.8 release. If so, it would be nice for grml's provider to show a specific error message. Thanks grml-team, M.

glx Problems with fglrx 8.27.10-1 on t60 with grml on HD
by Lars Schimmer 22 Aug '06

22 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! A kind of a special problem... I installed grml 0.7 on my thinpad t60 (ATI X1400 board) and today I made kinda big upgrade with KDE 3.5.3/4 and xorg. And I updated fglrx to the grml.org version 8.27-10.1. Because I built my own kernel (take grml-config and threw off some unneeded parts) I built the kernel-module of fglrx and installed the fglrx-driver package. Now I rebooted. System is coming up and works. But I don´t have hardware-3d. fgl_glxgears just hits some error: Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer Major Opcode of failed request: 130 (GLX) Minor Opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 35 Current Serial number in output stream: 35 I´m kinda helpless. And yes, xorg.config is the grml.org confed one. Is anyone using this version with kernel 2.6.17 with success?

save important data with grml
by johannes swoboda 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hi! I wanted to Install Windows on a computer where debian was already installed. after istalling (no error messages), I didn't see any boot manager, just "NTLDR is missing"* I installed windows again. I saw my partitions, but then the same error happened again. I tried to install debian. I didn't see my partitions(!) I ran knoppix 4.0.2 DVD and grml 0.8. I saw my partitions, but they seemed to be emty. (how) can I save my important data? *two notes: 1# the error "NTLDR is missing" is my personal translation of "NTLDR fehlt(german)" maybe this tanslation is not correct. 2# when I ran "cfdisk" on grml when it worked, it crashed with a error I don't rember... I think it was "irregular size" or anything like that. greethings johannes

Congrats on 0.8, enjoy a restful vacation
by Mark 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Mika, please enjoy a well-deserved restful summer holiday, you and the whole grml team. Your responsiveness and help to users and beta testers is the best. The team really pays attention to user requests and interests. Other Linux distributions should be using grml as a foundation. "For the record, in case anyone googles this, the install from zero to full flash, java, 3d accel, network, and all codecs working in browsers, is, on my 2.16g pentium m, is only twenty-seven minutes (not including the dreadful kde install, which takes of course, at least half an hour)." http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/41 Grml quality is so high that it puts its own version number to shame. It should be "8.0" instead of "0.8." That would give a better idea of the quality level. Grml is an up-to-date, capable, flexible, and rock-solid distribution. All the stability of Debian with up-to-date packages and regular release cycles. And very easy to install thanks to the scripts. I don't even feel like a sysadmin when I use grml! Mark

As said in OP, I can't get auto raise works for fluxbox. Anybody can do that? This is what I tried: create a new user. In its home directory, there are no .x* .X* files, nor the .fluxbox directory. echo exec fluxbox > ~/.xsession then startx. Ie, in above X/fluxbox setting, everything is taken from system. However, having choosing Configuration > Focus Model > Auto Raise, I still can't get the auto raise feature. So I think that this issue is related to how grml configure X/fluxbox by default. Please help. I can't do without the auto raise feature. Thanks

Missing lo device
by Werner Schuster (murphee) 15 Aug '06

howdy, after an apt-get upgrade to grml 0.8 I seem to be missing my loopback lo device (ifconfig just shows my eth0 device after startup). My /etc/network/interfaces contains: # The loopback interface automatically added when upgrading auto lo iface lo inet loopback Has anybody else seen this? I only noticed this because thunderbird and firefox started behaving oddly and Java debugging stopped working (Java debugging needs to listen to a localhost port).

ndiswrapper solved
by Martin Yazdzik 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Dear friends, The ndiswrapper is a broadcom chip issue, combined with the kernel 2.6.17 enabled the bcm43xx module by default. My experimentation was trying to load the wrapper, then when it did not work, rm the other interfering modules. This did not work. Solution for those who use broadcom wireless(almost all dell laptops): in order(important) rmmod bcm43xx ndiswrapper -i /wherever/the/hell/it/is modprobe ndiswrapper nano /etc/network/interfaces iface wlan0 inet dhcp iwconfig wlan0 essid blah key whatever ifup wlan0 One must, for some reason, remove the other bcm modules first, as udev seems to grab the 43xx module for the wireless card, and I presume there is some sort of tree which holds the whole thing up. Now, onto installing.... BTW, grml-x works perfectly every time, and, once I got the internet up, everthing else appeare to work OTOB.

Bring up network on boot up
by T 15 Aug '06

Hi My network is not initiated on grml 0.7 hd install boot up. I have to manually started it up afterward. I'm wondering why this is happening. - Is it because my network service is not up? grep network /etc/runlevel.conf 35 - S /etc/init.d/networking - Is it because I've changed my dhcp client from pump to dhclient? - or something else? thanks

JFYI: grml2hd - setting a password with >8 chars
by Michael Prokop 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hoi, to all of you who are running a grml system or plan to do so: Affected software ================= grml2hd - install grml on harddisk Problem ======= Setting the password in grml2hd is done via chpasswd. If you provide a password it will be set correct and login is possible with the provided password. But login is also possible with providing just the first 8 characters of the password. Fix for existing installations ============================== Please run 'passwd' manually after hd-installation (for normal user and user root). So if you are using passwords with more than 8 characters please run: # passwd and # passwd <username> where <username> is the user with UID 1000 on your grml system. This makes sure that login is possible only with the full length password. Fix for upcoming grml2hd installations ======================================= Please run: # apt-get update ; apt-get install grml2hd before running grml2hd itself so you get the fixed and up2date grml2hd version. Additional notes ================ The issue has been documented also at: http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.8 Credits ======= The issue has been discovered and reported by Matthias Kopfermann. thx for notice && regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc

grml 0.8: how to use my 3com pcmcia card?
by Werner Flamme 15 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I just installed grml 0.8 on a Toshiba Satellite 4070CDT. There is no internal network card, so I use a pcmcia card, 3com's 589. The main problem of this machine are 64 MB RAM :-( "hwinfo --pcmcia" gives no output, so does "hwinfo --netcard". The modules pcmcia, yenta_socket, and 3c589_cs are loaded. Still ifconfig does not give me eth0 - "no device available". grml ;-) What modules do I have to install to make this card run? It worked with 0.7, so there may be a chance to run it on 0.8 too...

still no ndiswrapper
by Martin Yazdzik 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Dear friends, 8 is great, but, without ndiswrapper, useless to me. modprobe ndiswrapper apparently loads the module, as the relevant section of lsmod "usbcore 967768 ndiswrapper,usb_storage,ohci_hcd,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd" shows it to be present, but iwconfig wlan0 tells me there is no such device. The only difference I can see in wlan folder in etc is that there is some sort of srcipt. The point is, the module does nothing, and I cannot connect to the world. Any ideas?
