How to switch from dynamic IP to static IP in grml
by T o n g 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, I use dynamic IP previously, now I need to use static IP for my ether card, which had been automatically configured by grml: $ cat /etc/networks default 0.0.0.0 loopback 127.0.0.0 link-local 169.254.0.0 $ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2f:be:4b:ba inet addr:192.168.0.100 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1313320 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1179010 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:697520612 (665.2 MiB) TX bytes:782279263 (746.0 MiB) Interrupt:17 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:803382 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:803382 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:233726809 (222.8 MiB) TX bytes:233726809 (222.8 MiB) How can I switch from dynamic IP to static IP now? $ grep -i network /etc/grml/autoconfig CONFIG_DEBNET='yes' # search for /etc/network/interfaces on partitions and set up network afterwards CONFIG_DISTCC='yes' # activate and setup distcc through bootparam distcc=$NETWORK,$INTERFACE Neither seems to me is the correct switch. Please help. Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

Pump and dnsmasq
by T o n g 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi, If I dedicate a box for dnsmasq as both dhcp and dns server, can I use pump as dhcp client on the very box to obtain the fixed IP address configured in dnsmasq? This is kind of chick-egg problem, so I want to make sure before proceeding. Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

Libvirt and grml
by T o n g 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi, Is libvirt supported by grml out of box? " Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The library aims at providing a long term stable C API for different virtualization mechanisms. It currently supports QEMU, KVM, XEN, OpenVZ, LXC, and VirtualBox.

Hello, i have installed grml on my harddisk. 1. What ist the default consolefont of grml? 2. I want to use a older linux-version of openxp (crosspoint Mail and news).

How can iset for the use of openxp the terminal to ibm437 (keyboard, screen)? Thanks for your help. Regards. Dietmar d

pump to send hostnames when making dhchp requests
by T o n g 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hi, Some dhcp server *requires* that hostnames be sent. I've found document on how to send hostnames with other dhchp clients except pump. Now, how can I configure pump to send hostnames when making dhchp requests? Thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

trouble with hard-disk installation
by v.klemt＠online.de 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Using Grml2HD I installed Grml_2010.12 on two notebooks, Acer TM4233 (Core2Duo T5500, external (USB) HD), and Acer Aspire One (Atom 260, internal HD). Everything worked fine, so I started 'apt-get update' (with Debian Unstable and Grml Testing included in sources list) and 'apt-get upgrade'. Additionally, I installed some packages not included in Grml (eg. tex-live). Overoptimistically, I did not keep track of the records, and when I realized that, using Xorg-core 7.7, I got frozen X-terminals and blocked input fields in Iceweasel (dead keyboard?), I was unable to find the origin of the trouble. There are no error messages, either in syslog or in Xorg.0.log, and the problem seems to be independent of the window manager (fluxbox, openbox) and the terminal program used (xterm, eterm). Do I really have to do a compltely new installation? Thanks in advance, Vilmar Klemt

Grml User Survey 2011: Help us make Grml better
by Michael Prokop 31 Jan '11

Hi! As a result of our Grml developer meeting (see meeting minutes at http://grml.org/reports/devmeeting_2010/ for details) we created a user survey to get more information about our users and their needs. Please take part in our survey and help us to improve and enhance Grml: http://grml.org/survey2011 And please don't forget to spread the word about it! P.S: Have a look at the old but still interesting results of our last user survey in 2007: http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=survey07 regards, -mika-

disk partition encryption roadmap
by T o n g 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi, I'm thinking to do the disk partition encryptions now. However "Hard drive encryption sounds like an intimating concept, mostly because it is. The thought of taking your precious files, then using a mathematical formula to convert them into random noise before scattering them back across your disk is a hard sell. " [1] 1. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/howtos/ how_to_encrypt_your_entire_hard_drive_for_free_using_true_crypt So I need some demystify of the whole disk/partition encryption thing. The official "Disk Encryption HOWTO" from tldp.org [2] is only dated as 2004-11-17, so I would assume it is *way* outdated. In terms of security, I tend to turn to people that I trust for help. Having tldp.org failed on me, I need your help, people from the grml community, instead of some random blogs found on the interent. 2. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Disk-Encryption-HOWTO/ Linux Encryption HOWTO http://encryptionhowto.sourceforge.net/Encryption-HOWTO.html v0.2.2, 04 October 2000 Here are my questions, - First very noob question, I don't want whole disk encryption, just want to encrypt some selected already partitioned partitions. If someone mount the encrypted partitions, will it shows up as empty or, there are some hints that the partition have been encrypted? - The Ubuntu [3] and CentOS [4] seems to endorse dm-crypt, instead of cryptsetup-luks that grml-crypt uses. So I need a bit of explanation why it is better than others. 3. http://www.humboldt.edu/its/security-encryption-linuxubuntu 4. http://beginlinux.com/blog/2009/04/centos-53-encrypted-block-devices/ - In terms of encryption used, TrueCrypt supports the following encryption algorithms: AES, Serpent, Twofish, AES-Twofish, AES-Twofish- Serpent, Serpent-AES, Serpent-Twofish-AES, Twofish-Serpent; And these hash algorithms: RIPEMD-160, SHA-512 & Whirlpool [5] 5. http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1276279 So I need a bit of explanation why the chosen algorithm is better than others. - Is your choice as cross-platform as TrueCrypt? - Since I need to encrypt more than one selected partitions, is there any alternative to typing in passphrase for each one of them when mounting them? - how passphrase are cached? Do I have to repeately typing in passphrase each time I do the mount? I also heard of passphrase-less disk encryptions. Hmm... I don't want to go there so maybe I can skip that. BTW, I just need a mini how-to about disk encryption, it does not need to be in-depth or comprehensive but rather short and to the point, to allow anyone with a minimum of linux disk encryption knowledge to create encrypted memory sticks, USB disks, or partitions in minutes. Thanks a lot. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/
