/dev/sda1 mounted but immediately unmounted - strange issue in syslog
by Ravi Roy 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

Hi, I'm using grml live CD (which contains debian 9.0 as OS) to do some automation but i'm stuck as /dev/sda1 is mounted and unmounted immediately shown in syslog. /dev/sda1 has ntfs partition . I've attached syslog snapshot as well as fstab snapshot. Did a lot of gooling but does not give any hint as to what is happening .. Does somebody know as to what is wrong in this case? Thank you in advance. Note : Kindly keep me in CC. Live CD is 64 bit released in 2017. Regards, Ravi. Note : Apologize for earlier mail for big attachments (have reduced the size of pics)

Several newbie questions about grml-full 2018.12
by Jaime T 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hi all. I've successfully booted grml-full 2018.12 and I have a few "newbie" questions: At the grml-quickconfig panel that appears, I wanted to see some info about grml, so I pressed the "i" key (to "show some info about grml"). But I didn't get any info: the only thing that happened was that the grml-quickconfig panel was printed again. Is this a bug? Virtual terminals 2, 3 and 4 all have a nice status bar at the bottom of the screen, but virtual terminals 1, 5 and 6 do not have this status bar. How can I get that same status bar on virtual terminals 1, 5 and 6? How do I get tab completion working? (It doesn't appear to be working when I drop to a shell by pressing "q" at the grml-quickconfig panel). After much searching, I found a blog post (https://michael-prokop.at/blog/2008/12/19/mikas-advent-calendar-day-19-zsh-…) which suggests entering "autoload -U compinit && compinit" but even if I enter that line, I still only get literal tab characters inserted at the command prompt. Is it possible to get a "UK" (United Kingdom) keyboard layout? (Entering "grml-lang", without any argument, prints a list of country codes that does not include "UK"). Many thanks, Jaime

Rock solid machines that I continue to use every day, as I speak to you now :) The problem driver is the Intel i915, its been around for a long time, there are probably a lot of them out there somewheres. The error message is: xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) Require OpenGL version 2.1 or later. Fatal server error. AddScreen/screen/init failed for driver. Thanks for all your efforts, Grml is so cool. --

Missing Intel Graphics Drivers
by R9mwaeq 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

The Debian package 'xserver-xorg-video-intel' is missing from the full 64 bit 2018-12 GRML disto. If your device has an Intel graphics card and you can't boot to X then installing the missing package will fix the problem: $ apt-get update $ apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel The 64 bit & 32 small distros are also both missing Intel drivers, however restoring the package will incur an additional 240 MB of dependencies asscociatted with it. Listing this as a known bug on the GRML web site would have been very helpful. Strangely I recently had a similar problem with another Debian Linux distro uprgrade, perhaps this is a Debian issue rather than a GRML bug. Anyways, now everything is sweet.

Problems with zsh config
by Kohby 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Hello everyone, first time in the mailing list, hope we can get along! I've been using GRML's zsh config for some time now and it is awesome, but recently for some reason my .zshrc.local when sourced it returns an error code of 1, the culprit lines are this ones I think. grml_theme_add_token simplepath '[ %15<...<%1~%<< ] ' '%B%F{white}' '%f%b' zstyle ':prompt:grml:left:setup' items rc change-root user at host simplepath vcs percent Whenever the file is sourced I get a sad face on the right and an erro code of 1, when manually sourcing the file .zshrc.local I get this error: grml_theme_add_token: Token `simplepath' exists! Giving up! and then it prints the grml_theme_add_token help. I'm not sure if this is a bug or something, probably something related to a cache? I don't know. If I change the name of the token and save, the first source of the file returns no error but subsequent sources return the same error as shown above. I'm using version 0.15.3 by the way. Thanks for the help. (Maybe this is a bug, if it is, I'll report it)
