"unknown packages are removed from the installation list" ?

Hi, I am trying to build a customized grml live CD. I used kvm to boot grml32-small_2017.05.iso and mounted a data partition at /media/sda in the VM. On that partition there is also a copy of the iso. Then I created /etc/grml/grml-live.local according to grml-live.conf and created /etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/GREG listing additional packages to install. To make things smoother, I chose SUITE="stretch". Finally I did: time grml-live -V -u -e /media/sda/grml32-small_2017.05.iso Please see the attached etc.tgz and typescript.gz . The strange thing is: the additional packages are NOT installed. In the typescript file you can find: <quote> Maximum number of packages installed at a time set to 3000 install_packages: reading config files from directory //etc/grml/fai/config/package_config install_packages: read config file GRMLBASE install_packages: read config file GRML_SMALL install_packages: read config file GREG install_packages: executing chroot /media/sda/grml_chroot apt-get clean WARNING: These unknown packages are removed from the installation list: apt-transport-https busybox bzip2 console-data dbus deborphan dmidecode eject file gpm grml2usb grml-autoconfig ... </quote> So /usr/sbin/install_packages did apt-get clean right before installing packages and therefore was unable to add any extra packages? Did I do something wrong? Thanks for enlightening me in advance! -- ã€Žæˆ‘çš„é‡Žè »å·¥è®€ç”Ÿã€ç”¨é«˜æ˜‚çš„ã€Žä¸‹è³Šèˆ¹çš„ä»£åƒ¹ã€ ç¶æž¶äº†æˆ‘çš„æ–‡ä»¶!

grml: speakup/espeak doesn't work because espeak/espeak-ng can't talk
by Eigeldinger Simon 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hi all, Can someone have a look at espeak/espeak-ng? There seems to be a problem with the sound system or espeak/espeak-ng. Would be cool if someone could fix it. I guess if espeak could talk again then speakup should talk again as well.

grml: espeak or espeak-ng not talking
by Simon Eigeldinger 28 Dez '17

28 Dez '17

Hi all, I recently wanted to upgrade to a recent version of grml. unfortunately i have figured out that espeak or espeak-ng which is the successor of espeak doesn't speak. could someone check that? there seems to be an issue with sound. the only screenreader that works at the moment is brltty. speakup/espeakup doesn't because espeak has nothing to output.

network boot via iPXE
by ipeter88 30 Nov '17

Hi Here is example of ipxe server configuration for ipv4 network booting of grml (linux distribution only) on both BIOS and UEFI systems. IPXE server is built on grml system with IP address 192.168.101.1 What we need - installation files (grml iso image(s)) - tftp server (it is enough to use installed atftpd) - dhcp server (here isc-dhcp-server) - web server (here nginx) - ipxe binaries and scripts - DNS server (only required when we want to use dns names instead of ip addresses in configuration files) Installation files Mount iso image(s) to gain access to installation files Â Â Â mkdir -p /srv/tftp/dist/grml/grml32 Â Â Â mkdir -p /srv/tftp/dist/grml/grml64 Â Â Â mount -t iso9660 -o loop /srv/tftp/data/grml32-full_2017.05.iso /srv/tftp/dist/grml/grml32 Â Â Â mount -t iso9660 -o loop /srv/tftp/data/grml64-full_2017.05.iso /srv/tftp/dist/grml/grml64 TFTP server We will use atftps in standalone mode, so its configuration file /etc/default/atftpd should look like: Â Â Â USE_INETD=false Â Â Â OPTIONS="--port 69 --tftpd-timeout 300 --retry-timeout 5 --maxthread 100 --verbose=5 /srv/tftp" DHCP server Install ISC dhcp server Â Â Â apt-get update Â Â Â apt-get install isc-dhcp-server Create/modify configuration file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf Â Â Â # next variables will be shown in dhcpd.leases file Â Â Â set vendorclass-string = option vendor-class-identifier; Â Â Â set userclass-string = option user-class; Â Â Â ddns-update-style none; Â Â Â allow booting; Â Â Â deny bootp;Â Â Â Â #default Â Â Â authoritative; Â Â Â log-facility local7; Â Â Â Â Â Â option client-arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16; # RFC4578 Â Â Â Â Â Â subnet 192.168.101.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { Â Â Â Â Â Â default-lease-time 3600; Â Â Â Â Â Â max-lease-time 7200; Â Â Â Â Â Â option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; Â Â Â Â Â Â option routers 192.168.101.1; Â Â Â Â Â Â option domain-name-servers 192.168.101.1; Â Â Â Â Â Â next-server 192.168.101.1; Â Â Â Â Â Â option domain-name "grml.lan"; Â Â Â Â Â Â option domain-search "grml.lan"; Â Â Â Â Â Â option router-discoveryÂ false; #flag Â Â Â Â Â Â poolÂ Â Â { Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â range 192.168.101.50 192.168.101.69; Â Â Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â Â Â poolÂ Â Â { Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â range 192.168.101.80 192.168.101.99; Â Â Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â Â Â ## List an unused interface here Â Â Â # subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { Â Â Â #} Â Â Â Â Â Â option space ipxe; Â Â Â option ipxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate ipxe; Â Â Â option ipxe.priority code 1 = signed integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.keep-san code 8 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.skip-san-boot code 9 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.syslogs code 85 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.cert code 91 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.privkey code 92 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.crosscert code 93 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.no-pxedhcp code 176 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.bus-id code 177 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.bios-drive code 189 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.username code 190 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.password code 191 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.reverse-username code 192 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.reverse-password code 193 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.version code 235 = string; Â Â Â option iscsi-initiator-iqn code 203 = string; Â Â Â option ipxe.pxeext code 16 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.iscsi code 17 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.aoe code 18 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.http code 19 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.https code 20 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.tftp code 21 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.ftp code 22 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.dns code 23 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.bzimage code 24 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.multiboot code 25 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.slam code 26 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.srp code 27 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.nbi code 32 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.pxe code 33 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.elf code 34 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.comboot code 35 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.efi code 36 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.fcoe code 37 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.vlan code 38 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.menu code 39 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.sdi code 40 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.nfs code 41 = unsigned integer 8; Â Â Â option ipxe.no-pxedhcp 1; Â Â Â Â Â Â if not exists client-arch { Â Â Â Â Â Â #guessing . . .

how to recognize each RAID member separately
by josefh.maier＠hushmail.com 11 Okt '17

11 Okt '17

Hello I tried to make a backup of a HP DL380 G5 (W28K) with a HP Smart Array P400 controller with 4 RAID-members (4 75GB SAS drives) The Linux Live DVD's and Acronis TrueImage i' am unsing, do show that 4 disks as a singe LUN :-( To my knowledge such "Single-LUN backups" can make problem if they should be restored if a harddisk is changed before... Therefore i would feel much more comfortable, if from each harddirve could be made a separate DD-image. Question: Is there a way to have GRML seen that 4 disks as separate disks (and NOT as a single LUN)? Thank you very much for every feedback! Joe

minimal changes needed to have non-graphical startup
by Marc Haber 03 Okt '17

03 Okt '17

Hi, recent HP servers do have an SD card slot which is suitable to host a rescue system. The same approach also applies ot an USB stick that can be pushed into a port and selected from the remote console. Of course, the easiest way to have this is just dd'ing an grml iso to the medium and then plugging it in without more ado. In the HP case, one needs a special license to have access to the graphical console. Some systems (for example the rather common MicroServer Gen8) also need a license to get access to the text console. The only thing that one gets on the Microserver Gen8 without inserting more coins is a virtual serial console, which is suitable to access the BIOS and boot an OS that can use a serial console. With grub, one can even boot a regular Linux OS with seeing the boot manager on the virtual serial port. Unfortunately, grml has a graphical selection screen for the choice of boot option. This makes it impossible to select a boot option or give additional parameters without the "big", expensive license. Is there a possibility to remaster grml without the graphical boot screen? Having a classical text oriented ISOLINUX screen is fine, having ISOLINUX present that option on ttyS0 instead of a console would be perfect. Actually, I would love to have the possibility to do a simple patch in an otherwise unchanged grml image so that my ProLiant grml is as close to "release" grml as possible. I would appreciate a hint if that is already possible. While I do understand that having a nice-looking selection screen is nice and important for user acceptance, this severely reduces grml's attractivity for the server jockey who usually doesn't have graphical access to the systems.

Remastering docs updated, help needed
by Marc Haber 03 Okt '17

03 Okt '17

Hi, the remastering docs on http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=remastering started to bitrot a way a bit, so I took a dive in removing historic information to the appropriate place on the page. I think that the documentation is much more clearer now. I need somebody with better knowledge about the build process fill the FAI table in the web page and also to give the information where future images will hold the information about how they were built. Is there still a supported way to remaster the image without actually touching the squashfs, for example if one wants to build a local .iso file with a grml.sh file on it or a non-graphical boot screen? If there is, I think this should be on the remastering page as well. I have prepared the page to host this information. Please either edit the wiki page directly, or give this information here so that I can incorporate the information myself. Thanks for helping with updating the docs!
