[Grml] grml-live questions

[T o n g]

Hi,

How is grml-live officially used to create daily snapshot CDs (for amd64
grml-small & grml-medium)?

I did a test run, but got some error at the end. How can I fix it and get
an ISO created?

Thanks

PS. Detailed logs:

Check out buildd/ in grml-live's git tree, or directly install
package grml-live-buildd.

grml-live -o /dev/shm -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,amd64 -s sid

^^^^^
This isn't a valid class name.

Use AMD64 instead of amd64.

Oh, I was confused by the man page saying:

in "-c CLASSES" explanation:

"If using a non-I386 system (like *amd64*) you should ..."

that's where I get/use the "amd64" from.

Check out buildd/ in grml-live's git tree, or directly install package
grml-live-buildd.

Thanks a lot. Another question, about grml-live customization,

IMHO, so far grml-live is developed mainly for grml developers. For end
users, it is better not to play with any files within the grml-live
structure, so as to make it easy when to upgrade grml-live.

Is there such a mechanism in place now? I knew there is a
/etc/grml/grml-live.local file to do some variable setting customization,
but I was talking about adding new CLASSes, and new files/patches, etc.

Thanks

Anyway, thanks.

| If you want to use a local mirror ... checkout ... apt-cacher(1) and

I'm using apt-cacher now. How can I tell grml-live to use my apt cache
(ie, http://cache_server:3142)?

I've checked FAI?s NFSROOT, grml-live's MIRROR_DIRECTORY &
MIRROR_SOURCES, all don't seems to be able to do it.

OK,

export http_proxy='http://cache_server:3142'

should do the trick.

Hi,

Does the grml-live package_config files support line end comments? e.g.,

a_debian_package # line end comment that explains what it is

Hi,

My CD was successfully build by grml-live. Detailed log at

However, the CD isn't bootable:

kvm -boot d -cdrom /dev/shm/gl/grml_isos/depen64.iso

What could be wrong?

Thanks

Is it possible to *add to* current GRML_LIVE_SOURCES setting?
I tried,

Python? No.

"GRML_LIVE_SOURCES: unbound variable" tells you that you are
using a variable that isn't set yet. So get rid of the unset
$GRML_LIVE_SOURCES.

Hi,

When are dpkg.list & dpkg.selections generated, before chroot
installation or after it?

I bumped into a strange problem that grml-live is installing packages not
in the dpkg.list & dpkg.selections -- I "thought" that I remove all java
packages from my source package list, then "confirmed" that with the
following:

$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/dpkg.selections || echo no found
no found

$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/dpkg.list

However, grml-live still failed because of java packages:

The files are generated in one of the final steps before the
squashfs file will be generated, it should catch what will be

Check out buildd/ in grml-live's git tree, or directly install
package grml-live-buildd.

Use AMD64 instead of amd64.

I did a test run

I'm using apt-cacher now. How can I tell grml-live to use my apt cache
(ie, http://cache_server:3142)?

I've checked FAI?s NFSROOT, grml-live's MIRROR_DIRECTORY &
MIRROR_SOURCES, all don't seems to be able to do it.

Thanks

Hi,

Does the grml-live package_config files support line end comments? e.g.,

a_debian_package # line end comment that explains what it is

Thanks

I did a test run, but got some error at the end . . .

Hi,

My CD was successfully build by grml-live. Detailed log at

However, the CD isn't bootable:

kvm -boot d -cdrom /dev/shm/gl/grml_isos/depen64.iso

What could be wrong?

Hi,

Is it possible to *add to* current GRML_LIVE_SOURCES setting?

I tried,

GRML_LIVE_SOURCES="$GRML_LIVE_SOURCES

but got

/etc/grml/grml-live.local: line 29: GRML_LIVE_SOURCES: unbound variable

then I realized that the grml-live.local should be in python syntax,
which I don't know.

Please help.

Hi,

How is grml-live officially used to create daily snapshot CDs (for amd64
grml-small & grml-medium)?

I did a test run, but got some error at the end. How can I fix it and get
an ISO created?

Thanks

Check out buildd/ in grml-live's git tree, or directly install
package grml-live-buildd.

Use AMD64 instead of amd64.

,-----
| If you want to use a local mirror ... checkout ... apt-cacher(1) and

I'm using apt-cacher now. How can I tell grml-live to use my apt cache
(ie, http://cache_server:3142)?

I've checked FAI?s NFSROOT, grml-live's MIRROR_DIRECTORY &
MIRROR_SOURCES, all don't seems to be able to do it.

Thanks

Hi,

Does the grml-live package_config files support line end comments? e.g.,

a_debian_package # line end comment that explains what it is

Thanks

I did a test run, but got some error at the end . . .

Hi,

My CD was successfully build by grml-live. Detailed log at
http://paste.grml.org/44/

However, the CD isn't bootable:

kvm -boot d -cdrom /dev/shm/gl/grml_isos/depen64.iso

http://imagebin.ca/view/JQo_Gae.html

What could be wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Is it possible to *add to* current GRML_LIVE_SOURCES setting?

I tried,

GRML_LIVE_SOURCES="$GRML_LIVE_SOURCES
# debian multimedia
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main non-free
. . .
"

but got

/etc/grml/grml-live.local: line 29: GRML_LIVE_SOURCES: unbound variable

then I realized that the grml-live.local should be in python syntax,
which I don't know.

Please help.
Thanks

Hi,

When are dpkg.list & dpkg.selections generated, before chroot
installation or after it?

I bumped into a strange problem that grml-live is installing packages not
in the dpkg.list & dpkg.selections -- I "thought" that I remove all java
packages from my source package list, then "confirmed" that with the
following:

$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/dpkg.selections || echo no found
no found

$ grep -i java /var/log/fai/depen/last/dpkg.list
ii libmozjs2d
1.9.1.11-1 The Mozilla SpiderMonkey
JavaScript library

However, grml-live still failed because of java packages:

How to designate my own locales for grml-live?

Under /etc/grml/fai/config/

- Prepare a file 'files/etc/locale.gen/GRMLBASE' according to your /etc/
locale.gen

- create a file 'scripts/GRMLBASE/23-locales' as:

---------------------
#! /bin/bash
fcopy /etc/locale.gen

AFAIK it is just copied from FAIBASE.var. As the variable is never used
in the grml classes it seems to me that, at least the grml classes, do
not support it directly.

The FAIBASE class supports AFAIK setting the password via the ROOTPW
variable.
Just have a look at the fai documentation. This has IMHO nothing to do
with grml-live.

Please note that i do not have deep knowledge of grml-live nor of fai.
So maybe you should ask the more general fai related questions on the
fai list or wait until mika is back.
