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?
At any rate, this means I cannot work on one OS while in the other, which is silly. It obviously has nothing to do with the working grml, because every other one day install, zb, debian, SuSE, Sabayon, lets me use my running connexion to work.
All other chrooted commands work, as long as, obviously, they are not x server dependent.
Best,
martin

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

thanks, paul and mika-
I have done so many of these lately, I forgot to check reselv.conf.
my bad, but I appreciate the willingness to help when a noobie makes a stupid mistake...
best, m

What's inside /etc/resolv.conf of your chroot? It might be adjusted according to your network setup/provider.
