Hello, I noticed that in grml2hd when it prompts you for which boot parameters should be used for the append line it gives the speakup one as speakup_synth although now grml uses speakup.synth, therefore users can't add speakup.synth to an installed system through the interface, they have to do it manually using the boot loader. I noticed this when using a grml 2009.05RC2 CD (I know that grml 2009.05 has been released but I had the rc2 CD to hand when I needed to perform the install and I have just updated grml2hd on my system and examined the source code and this bug seems to still be present).

Excellent catch, thanks!
Recorded in our BTS as http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue689
It should be fixed by upload of grml2hd (1.2.3) to the grml repository. Would be great if you could give it a try and let us know whether it's fixed for you.

What is the best way for me to test this? Do I need to just install a later version of grml2hd when running the CD (eg. aptitude update; aptitude install grml2hd) or do I need to download a new CD image (ouch, that will hit transfer allowance)?

The first should work; this morning I got a new grml2hd via safe-upgrade. (installed grml-2008-11) If you want the latest grml2hd on CD, you only can find it on the GRML daily CDs, I guess. Hermann

This is of course wrong.
Adding "deb http://deb.grml.org/ grml-testing main" to your sources list will enable you to get the latest packages from grml.

Right. And as soon as grml2hd is reported as working fine I'll upload the package to the grml-stable repository as well.

I have just tried installing using grml2hd 1.2.3 and it seems to have worked, add it to stable.
On this topic, it means that grml 2009.05 CD images will be all using grml2hd 1.2.2, so suffering from this problem. Knowing about the bugs in grml2hd I could use aptitude to upgrade grml2hd for me. Should I be unaware of other potential bugs in the release CD, is there a way I could just run a command to retrieve critical updates? I mean that currently running "aptitude update" and "aptitude safe-upgrade" will get me more than just bug fixes.

echo 'deb http://deb.grml.org/ grml-stable main' > /etc/apt/grml-stable.list apt-get -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=/etc/apt/grml-stable.list update apt-get upgrade
does the trick.

Nice! Would you mind to add this to grml-tips?
(Btw: a kind of "grml-tips update" to update the collection from the repository would be a nice feature..)

Done with grml-tips_0.4.14.

Why not just update the grml-tips Debian package? :)
