zfs
by John Covici 09 Jun '20

Any chance of getting sujpport for zfs in this release? I have been using it for years, but grml does not currently support it, so I have had to find something else, but it would sure be nice to use grml again. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici(a)ccs.covici.com

APFS ?
by Gregory Heytings 13 Mai '20

13 Mai '20

Hi list, As far as I can see, there is no easy way to mount APFS (default filesystem for macOS >= 10.13) with GRML. Am I wrong? If not, I would suggest to add fuse-apfs in its next releases, it uses only 2 MB. Thanks, Gregory

configuring grml
by gideon425xx＠gmail.com 12 Mai '20

I am booting grml using grub and using loop-booting. This works fine. I would, however, like to know if there are grub options I can use, to change how grml works. For example, can I change things so that persistence mode is enabled and X is run automatically? Currently I have to select those by hand. Regards Gideon

/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

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.
