Dear M and friends,
Just for information, and please realise I am not complaining: root@grmllap1 ~ # chroot /mnt/sda4 root@grmllap1 / # apt-get update Err http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid Release.gpg Could not resolve 'www.debian-multimedia.org' Err http://ftp.de.debian.org stable Release.gpg Could not resolve 'ftp.de.debian.org'
Note that, when my experimental partition(/mnt/sda4) is plain old debian, I do the same thing and can do all package management or upgrades, install drives, and so on, from my working workhorse grml install, but, as now, when the /mnt/sda4 is a grml install, something stops me from using my internet connexion to fetch things. I think it may be a bind issue, or not?
Check /mnt/sda4/etc/resolv.conf -- it should have a nameserver entry the same as your /etc/resolv.conf file.
E.G. On my creaky laptop I have cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.18.1
Which works, and cat /mnt/suse/etc/resolv.conf nameserver 10.0.0.2
Which doesn't work after chroot to /mnt/suse
changing /mnt/suse/etc/resolv.conf to nameserver 192.168.18.1
Means that ping does work
