It's definitely worth reading the article. Thanks for the nice article, Marc! Sunday, March 25. 2007

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) new develrelease: grml 0.9-6After uploading grml64 I also uploaded a new develrelease of grml (the 32bit version ;-)) for beta-testers and developers. So, what's new? Read yourself: This release is a very special one for me. There are many updates, fixes, addons - I could remove most of the release-stoppers (http://bts.grml.org/release-stoppers). From my POV we are pretty close to grml 1.0-rc1 now. But due to several updates it needs heavy testing of course. So if you want to help us please test this release and report *anything* you find and think should be fixed for grml 1.0! Main changelog: =============== * update of kernel 2.6.20-grml, now based on 2.6.20.3 You're missing a feature/module/...? Report! * grml-terminalserver: big improvements like better module loading and switch to atftpd (thanks gebi) - give it a try! * grml2hd: added grml-setservices (interface for basic configuration of system startup/shutdown via /etc/runlevel.conf), improved grub code, some minor stuff... * added bootoption 'qemu', currently it does nothing else than copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have further ideas please inform me) * grml-autoconfig: dropped userspace/powernowd stuff in cpufrequeny scaling in favour of the ondemand-governor. If you notice any problems with powermanagement on your laptop please let me know. * news from grml-scripts: - added dirvish-setup: a simple script for setting up a basic configuration for backup software dirvish. - grml-setlang: do not set $TZ anymore, we want to handle it via /etc/timezone instead of /etc/default/locale; notice: the timezone configuration has been documented detailed at http://grml.org/faq/#timezone and within 'grml-tips timezone' Questions? Problems? Report! - integrated grml-quickconfig within zsh-login. grml-quickconfig has been contributed by Michael Schierl - thanks! [Needs some more tweaking though...] - added iso-term (wrapper script to run x-terminal-emulator in iso885915 mode). - added alignmargins (adjust the margins and the position of the printed contents on the paper) * /etc/zsh/zshrc: added aliases for better iso<->utf handling (term2iso, term2utf, utf2iso, iso2utf), big update of swspeak alias, added function ytdl (download video from youtube), and tons of other fixes, updates, additions...

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) grml at chemnitzer linuxdays 2007Chemnitz Linuxdays 2007 were great. Several grml developers (including myself) have been there, we even had our own grml booth: We had two Efika boards at the grml booth (one from formorer and the other one from myself). Formorer and me did some further work on the ppc-port of grml: The grml-team had the chance to test one server of the Linux cluster in chemnitz [Chemnitzer Hochleistungs-Linux-Cluster (CHIC)] with grml. The server is a IBM System x3455 featuring Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor, DDR2-RAM and AMD's virtualization technology 'Secure Virtual Machine' (SVM). The cluster machine running grml: Output of /proc/cpuinfo running grml: The server at the grml booth: Oh, and as you can see in the last picture we had CDs of a special grml release (0.9-5) at the grml-booth!
