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)

hi, i recently got access to an Dell R640 Server and i'm having some issues booting via the virtual cdrom feature on the remote access card that i cannot pinpoint sofar, so maybe somebody can help me to debug this: * with 2017.05, it boots fine, however i have some hardware not recognized (namely the 10Gb network interfaces) * i tried the testing and sid based daily images (in the later case also some older versions from 2018-04-30 and 2018-04-23), but there i cannot boot and i'm getting the following error message that i cannot really pinpoint: -- Reloc 0 block size 2756420659 is invalid Relocation failed: Unsupported Failed to load image: Unsupported start_image() returned Unsupported -- (there might be some slight typos in there, i typed it from the screen) after that, i restarts and the boot menu never comes up. thx regards, albert

Re: [Grml] GRML customization issues

Obrigado Paulista! Sorry for my late reply, Gilberto (to your two mails from Mon, Feb 12, 2018 16:49, and Mon, Feb 12, 2018 16:53), I retrieved them from the mailing list archive only now. @ 2.) >> How to disable the Debian automounter for removable media? >on /etc/fstab I always thought that /etc/fstab covers the file systems to be mounted at boot time only ... The third <fs_vfstype> field isn't completely documented in the fstab(5) manpage (i.e. regarding the "auto" type), but refers to mount(8). An excerpt from GRML 2013.02 /etc/fstab, which probably configures the automount behaviour (?): /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto user,noauto,exec 0 0 /dev/external /media/external auto user,noauto,exec,rw,uid=grml,gid=grml 0 0 /dev/external1 /media/external1 auto user,noauto,exec,rw,uid=grml,gid=grml 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0 Will a removal of these lines switch to (preferred) manual mounts? @ 4.) >> Fluxbox and LXDE with english keyboard layout by default >> [how to set] "setxkbmap -layout <lang>" [...] persistently? >i use grml 17.05 and on grml.conf file used on boot >i explicity use > xkeyboard=br keyboard=br locale=America/Sao_Paulo I didn't find any grml.conf in GRML 2013.02, nor in a GRML 2017.05 live boot image (I prefer the first, just don't like systemd config). Is the grml.conf file optional, and to be placed where, in the /etc or in the user ~/ directory? SaudaÃ§Ãµes de BasilÃ©ia Torsten

GRML customization issues
by Torsten Kühn 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Hi all, GRML works fine on a small Intel D525 CPU box with NVidia GT-218 graphics, much more stable than the nouveaufb driver in some Ubuntu versions. I'm using an older GRML 2013.02 release, just don't feel like backing up all data and to re-run grml-to-harddisk again. Some questions on system customization: 1.) The pre-configured zsh shell immediately shares entered commands and it's history among all open instances. I use to reserve dedicated terminals to particular commands. For example, man pages are always opened on tty5. Instead of retrieving the last or last but one "man" command from the history, zsh shows all commands from other ttys first. No real feature. How to configure a more bashish behaviour? BTW, is there any relationship between this zsh (developed since 1992 by Paul Falstad and others) and the zsh shell in NextStep? 2.) How to disable the awesome Debian automounter for removable media? It keeps from mounting USB sticks or optical media to individual mount points, but requires to manually unmount automatic /media/xxx mount points first ... 3.) Which is the most elegant, i.e. recommended way to start the X server upon GRML boot? As "init 3" doesn't work, I currently need to manually execute "/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/startlxde &" from a tty. Where to place this string, into which startup script? 4.) Both Fluxbox and LXDE start with english keyboard layout by default. I gladly discovered the "setxkbmap -layout <lang>" command. Can anyone tell me whether this setting is saved persistently, i.e. still active after reboot? (Won't restart for testing, GRML box 32 days uptime now.) Regards Torsten
