[grml] grml 1.1 shutdown will fail
by Michael Wittke 10 Mär '08

10 Mär '08

Hello, batch your pardon for asking for your help. I have just downloaded the grml 1.1 iso und burned a live cd for playing a little bit with your nice tool. The cd starts and everything works fine. There also is no fault, when I start the cd with the grml testcd boot option. My PC has an ASUS Mainbord with an Intel Pentium III Processor. When I shutdown the PC (with shutdown -h now) the PC will hang when the cd is ejected and I have to disconnect the power to be able to restart the PC. I have no idea what went wrong. On the monitor are the following error massages: end-request: I/O error,dev hdc, sector 114876 hdc: tray open (there are a lot of this massages with different sector numbers) SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [2918b2b] SQUASHFS errror: Unable to read page block 2918b2b, seize 5811 /etc/init.d/halt: line 65: /sbin/halt: cannot execute binery file INIT: no more process left in this runlevel. Any suggestions how to solve the problem?

swspeak, sound shutdown on eeePC
by didi.segbert＠arcor.de 10 Mär '08

10 Mär '08

Hello, after spending a lot of time i was able to boot grml 1.1 rC6 from a usb- stick. The swspeak starts also as brltty, but i do not hear anything. I also did not hear anything playing a mp3-file with mplayer. How can i set up the volume or unmute the soundcard, so that i can hear anything. If i shutdown the eepc with the command shutdown -h now, the PC did not shutdown properly. To turn the eeePC off, i must press the button for POWER. Regards Dietmar

sata question
by martin yazdzik 10 Mär '08

10 Mär '08

Dear M and friends, Just a noob question, for no reason other than neugier. Why does debian installer, lenny, recognise both the sata and atapi cd thing, giving the correct response to cat /proc/scsi/scsi, whereas grml requires bootparameters ide1=noprobe and ide0=noprobe to get sata hdd and atapi(sata) sdr0 recognised? Best, M Wo du nicht lieben kannst, da gehe vorüber.... Duse

Liberation fonts
by T o n g 09 Mär '08

09 Mär '08

quick question, is the liberation fonts in grml? As the liberation fonts provided by red hat being much better quality than msttcorefonts and is provided in an open license, will the liberation fonts in grml? So that grml-small can just supply this one set of core ttf fonts (plus your favorites of course). They are at debian-multimedia.org as ttf-liberation. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/

I've asked a few days ago for rt61-wlan-driver-support in grml. Now I've tried the package provided - and the module seems to work! I'm afraid, still I couldn't manage to get my wlan to work. I have to use WPA-PSK. This is, what I've done: - wget your deb - dpkg -i the deb - modprobe rt61pci - rename the /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT in wlancfg-myssid (with my ssid) - setting dot11ExcludeUnencrypted to false in the wlan-cfg-myssid because of not using wep - setting SSID_wlan0="myssid" in /etc/wlan/wlan.conf - typing ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 network={ ssid="myssid" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP psk="mypassword"} (with my phrase) in my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf - adding auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp (dhcp is running in my network) wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to my /etc/network/interfaces. Now, iwconfig wlan0 shows my essid and an encryption-key, but I'm not able to ping. Strange is, that after typing wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d, the iwconfig wlan0 command shows Encryption key:off. Perhaps, here tht problem is to find...? Do you, Mika, or someone else have an idea, why it still doesn't work? Thanks for all the help you gave and give!

For the usb stick try this: dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda this should ensure a bootable mbr. Regards Moss
