running a script automatically after boot
by John G Heim 22 Aug '17

I have a thumb drive with grml on it. It has a persistant partition. What is the best way to get it to run some commands automatically upon boot? I want to simply have it do: #!/bin/bash modprobe speakup_soft espeakup # EOF -- -- John G. Heim; jheim(a)math.wisc.edu; sip://jheim@sip.linphone.org

Grml 2017.05 EFI problem
by Lupe Christoph 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hi! Many thanks for giving us a new version of Grml! And a new pun. I wonder what people less acquainted with Austria then me (as a child, I spent my summer vacation in Bad Goisern) are making of Freedatensuppe if they don't find the explanation... As I'm now working in Swabia, I'll eat a Flädlesuppe to your health. And now to business ;-) First thing I tried was downloading grml96-full_2017.05.iso to put it on a USB stick. I booted an hp z640 from it. And alas! while the EFI side is seen as well as the legacy side, only the latter boots. Trying to boot EFI throws me into the "Startup Menu". If you can give me so starting point, I'll see if I can find the cause. The ISO *should* be able to boot with EFI and legacy, doesn't it?

Hi, so *finally* we did it again, jey! The first release candidate of the upcoming Grml version 2017.05, code-named 'Freedatensuppe' is available. This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing (AKA stretch). As usual it also incorporates current hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release. For detailed information about the changes between 2014.11 and 2017.05 have a look at the official release announcement: http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2017.05-rc1/ Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and rely on, and report back so we can complete the stable release soon. If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for the end of May (2017 *cough* :)). Thanks to all contributors! regards, -mika- - for the Grml.org project

How to verify daily snapshot downloads
by Bernhard Reiter 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello, today I've taken a look at a daily image for grml.org and found no way to verify that the image I'm downloading actually is from your build machines. http://grml.org/daily/ leads me to something like http://daily.grml.org/grml64-full_testing/2017-04-19_05-31-21/ where there are no OpenPGP signatures available. and the https variant or the url does not show the files. This is a problem because a downloader like can be attacked by serving a different iso file and the corresponding checksums. To prevent this attack you could a) also use https on the daily.grml.org server b) Use a new OpenPGP build-key without password, publish the pubkey on the https mainsite and use the key in the automatic building process to generate the detached signatures. Best Regards, Bernhard ps.: if you have a flattr account, I would have flattred you. :) Thanks for grml. -- www.intevation.de/~bernhard +49 541 33 508 3-3 Intevation GmbH, Osnabrück, DE; Amtsgericht Osnabrück, HRB 18998 Geschäftsführer Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner

Grml via ipxe's sanboot
by Jens Mueller 31 Mär '17

31 Mär '17

Dear list, I'm trying to boot GRML over ipxe's sanboot. It fails when mounting root: Begin: Mounting root file system ... (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system This is probably no surprise because sanboot is similar to booting using memdisk but without a download delay. mika wrote in "Booting ISO images from within GRUB2" (http://michael-prokop.at/blog/page/3/) "The good news is that Grml supports the memdiskfind/phram/mtdblock approach out-of-the-box." Meaning you do something like modprobe phram phram=memdisk,$(memdiskfind) modprobe mtdblock as mentioned here http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#Linux. But memdiskfind returns nothing. My ipxe config contains :grmlsan sanboot ${url}/iso/grml32-small_2014.03.iso || goto failed Any hints to boot Grml over sanboot? Jens

clonezilla not working, clock wrong and keyboard issues
by Kai Bosch 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi there, i set up grml via grub2 and am booting it with the option to copy the entire medium to ram (so that no physical harddisk is mounted). I need grml for weekly full system backups via clonezilla. However when i run clonezilla, as soon as it tries to use the method "dd" to image a partition, it fails and says that it can't find "partclone.dd". I really have no clue as to why this is happening. when i use clonezilla in my ubuntu host, it works fine. Another problem i have is that the clock is always set wrong by some hours. It also seems to change my bios clock, so that my ubuntu host has to update the clock after every boot. Also when i set a german keyboard layout in the shell and start X, it will not keep that keyboard layout and I'll have to set it again. I'm looking forward to any helpful advice :) Thanks! Kai
