Hi, Anyone has rdesktop to remote VirtualBox grml before? I want to run grml in remote headless VirtualBox, but also want to have a local X env for other people who does not have local X, using rdesktop connecting to grml. So far I haven't been able to: $ rdesktop 192.168.2.103 & ERROR: 192.168.2.103: unable to connect Has anyone done that before, or knows how? Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

grml live-usb and truecrypt?
by Stefan /*St0fF*/ Hübner 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Dear list, I've been using grml-live-usb sticks for disaster cases since a few years. No I have "my own" disaster case - the system SSD starts to break, and the datastore-hdd is true-encrypted. I most probably won't get a network connection during the recovery process. How can I get truecrypt onto my usb-key "in advance"? Thanks for any hints in advance, Stefan

Seems to be completely removed, I also can't find the packages in http://grml.org/files/grml32_2011.12/dpkg.list Does anybody know why they were removed?

Missing smbmount
by Dirk Becker 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi all! I was using GRML very often for mounting SMB shares via 'mount -t smbfs'. Unfortunately smbfs seems to be removed since GRML 2011.12. Is there a workaround or any other way to mount Samba shares? -Dirk

Trying to get modules to load & services to start at boot
by John Magolske 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, I have grml installed on my ThinkPad (grml2hd 05/16/2011), and am having trouble getting modules to load & services to start at boot. I did: # echo tp_smapi >> /etc/modules But after booting, tp_smapi is not present and I end up having to manually load it. There's a post from 2005 [1] that says the solution is to activate /etc/init.d/module-init-tools in /etc/runlevel.conf. Is this still required? If so, as I don't see module-init-tools in that file, I'm wondering where in the lineup should it should be and at which runlevels it should start. Also, I added these lines to /etc/sysfs.conf : devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh=82 devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh=92 vm.swappiness=5 But those values are not reflected after reboot: # cat /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/*_charge_thresh 89 96 # cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 60 So they have to be set manually: # echo 82 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh # echo 92 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh # sysctl vm.swappiness=5 To start postfix I added this line to /etc/init.d/bootlocal.first : /etc/init.d/postfix restart But postfix doesn't start up at boot. Thanks for any suggestions on how to set these things up properly. [1] http://ml.grml.org/pipermail/grml/2005-November/008349.html Regards, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

Re: [Grml] Statement regarding the Grml "reset" with 2011.12 release
by Lupe Christoph 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hi! I just tried to put these ISOs on the same USB stick: grml64_2011.12.iso grml32_2011.12.iso grml64_2011.05.iso grml_2011.05.iso (I wanted to have the older versions around because my paranoia tells me I will need one of the programs that were deleted, by I want to use the newer versions to find out if I really do.) It turns out that grml2usb used the flavour to generate the syslinux menu entries: Debug: 2012-01-05 12:31:35,505 Note: you can boot flavour grml using 'grml' on the commandline. Debug: 2012-01-05 12:31:35,505 Note: you can boot flavour grml32 using 'grml32' on the commandline. Debug: 2012-01-05 12:31:35,505 Note: you can boot flavour grml64 using 'grml64' on the commandline. So I'm able to boot the older versions because I specified the later on the command line, and grml32_2011.12.iso because the flavour changed to grml32. And grml64 was selected as the default flavour because it came first. Only the version was replaced. Looks like I would have to fiddle with the contents of one of the grml64 ISOs to accomplish my goal. Any suggestions? Yeah, I know, buy another USB stick, they're cheap ;-) Thanks, Luep Christoph -- | It is a well-known fact in any organisation that, if you want a job | | done, you should give it to someone who is already very busy. | | Terry Pratchett, "Unseen Academicals" |

A New Year and a big thank you.
by Charles Alan Hewson 31 Dez '11

Hi All, First, I want to thank the developers, testers and contributors. I have used GRML for years as an on the road work environment. I have customized with grml-live since it was introduced. Think firmware and cross-platform encryption that can not be redistributed. We all use the best tool for the need if it is rescue, recovery, repair, privacy or security. After 40 years in the business I appreciate what these fine people are doing as we all should. Second, I am resolved to contribute more to this project and the community in 2012. I can test what I use more thoroughly and check the upstream for the feature or bug. The developers use 64 bit boxes. If we expect to use a 32 bit GRML for 2 more years we need to test it. This was not intended to start a rant just to be a reminder. Charles

grml as host system
by Philippe Delavalade 30 Dez '11

30 Dez '11

Hi. I have already complain about the removal of the brltty boot option in the new release. Now, I realise that the new grml is nomore suitable as host system to build linuxfromscratch ; previously I recommanded it as livecd for this purpous but now, important packages are missing... It's sad. -- Ph. Delavalade
