Hello, for a time i have installed the grml 1.1 on two harddisk and onto a usb- stick (GB). With the commands aptitude update and aptitude safe-upgrade i look for the newest program-updates.
But now i have some questions:
1. What is the sudo password for the first User, i mean the user, that tehe grml2hd-script will create (i have changed the configfile for my needs).
2. How can i upgrade from grml 1.1 to grml 2008, especielly the kernel and scripts?
3. What can i do to become a better performance on my usb-stick, shall i create a fstab for my needs, so that the temoraryfiles are into the ram and so. Are there any examples.
4. After updating/upgrading with aptitude and the end of the procedur im become an error "update-initramfs can not create/update initrd ..., use -t switch". Shall i use the command update-initramfs -d -t to fix this or is there a configfile?
5. If i log in as user x and start lynx, surf with lynx to an audiostream (mp3/rm or so) or to an internetradiostream, the mplayer will start, but nothing is to hear, mplayer will stop and lynx is back. The sound works and if i start the mplayer with the directlink to the radiostream, that will work. Any ideas?
6. How can i addd old debian packages, especielly i want to use the aqmony 0.6.3, the openhbci and the libchipcard version, which works with the old aqmoney 0.6.3. I have tryied to compile the programs, but the gcc 4.3.x will produce a lot of errors and i am not so familiar with c an c++ to fix this errors.
thanks for your help.
Regards
Dietmar

The password will be the same as the root password, if I understand your question. See the file /ect/sudoers as root.

If these lines are in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.grml.org/ grml-stable main deb-src http://deb.grml.org/ grml-stable main
then you should be able to do
# aptitude search grml # aptitude install linux-image-2.6.26-grml grml-scripts
or similar to that.

Hi,
the sudo-password is that one from the user who called sudo command.
for example: my user is 'test' an i run 'sudo aptitude update' the password sudo ask for is that one from user 'test'.
BUT: sudo has to be configured correctly for this to work (run 'visudo' to edit the sudoers-configfile, quote from /etc/sudoers "direct editing is not supported!").
regards, Christian
