fstab-entry change
by Hans Schneidhofer 14 Sep '23

hi, on a PC with Debian 11 installed, an SSD can neither be read nor written. I have now restarted the PC with a grml. How can I change the entry in /etc/fstab on this PC with the help of grml so that this defective SSD is not taken into account when restarting? Unfortunately, I can't quite get along with the new grml. I used to be able to log in with a password and mount the file system of the PC system with root rights, e.g. on /mnt /computername/ and then edit /etc/fstab. How can I do this with the new version grml-64-full 2022 ? Any help ist welcome bye hans

Can't get ssh=password to work
by John G. Heim 08 Mär '22

08 Mär '22

Hi, I'm blind and I am trying to start grml64-full_2021.07.isoin a VirtualbBox virtual machine. I cannot seem to get the ssh daemon started. There doesn't seem to be much time to type in the "ssh=password" boot configuration parameter. What I do is to take a screen shot via the VirtualBox command. Then I run it through a optical char recognition program. This gives me a pretty good sense of what is on the screen. But no matter how fast I do it, I never seem to get a boot prompt. I am thinking that maybe the process of typing in boot parms has changed since the switch to grub. onfiguration -- ### John G. Heim, 608-263-4189, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu

Running GRML in a VirtualBox virtual machine
by John G. Heim 07 Mär '22

07 Mär '22

I am having trouble running grml64-full_2021.07.iso in a VirtualBox virtual machine. It starts up okay but when I press q to exit the menu, the virtual machine becomes unresponsive and I lose control of my GUI on the host. The host is Ubuntu mate 21.10. The virtual machine has 4Gb of ram and 2 CPUs. Any tips on special configuration items that grml might like in a virtual machine? ### John G. Heim, 608-263-4189, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu

25 Jun '21

Hi, we test murphy's law by moving one of our main servers to a new location on 2021-06-24, starting at 11:45 UTC (AKA 13:45 CEST). Several of our services won't be available during the migration period, incl: * deb.grml.org (Debian repository) * Grml.org nameserver * git.grml.org (Git service) * mail.grml.org (Mailing, incl. mailing lists) * web (grml.org) If things go horribly wrong, we'll provide further updates via IRC (#grml on irc.oftc.net) and twitter (https://twitter.com/grmlproject). *fingers_crossed* regards -mika-

Grml IRC channel moving to OFTC
by Michael Prokop 28 Mai '21

28 Mai '21

Hi, you might have heard about the Freenode IRC drama (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenode#Ownership_change_and_conflict + https://anarc.at/blog/2021-05-24-leaving-freenode/), so after more than 17 years of #grml on Freenode, it's time to say goodbye. We decided to move our IRC to irc.oftc.net, so please join us at #grml over there. Thanks for the many years of great service to Freenode, thanks OFTC for having us. :) regards -mika-
