The CF card shows up fine when used in conjunction with a USB cardreader or an ide-CF adapter. But with the PCMCIA adapter it doesn't seem to be detected; the CF card does not show up under /dev/disk/by-id. Booting the machine with the CF-card/PCMCIA-adapter inserted causes the boot process to hang at "Waiting for /dev to be populated..." Booting first then inserting the CF-card/PCMCIA-adapter I see: % dmesg ... pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 cs: memory probe 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff: excluding 0xf0000000-0xf7ffffff cs: memory probe 0xd0200000-0xdfffffff: excluding 0xd0200000-0xd11fffff 0xd1a00000-0xd21fffff 0xd2a00000-0xd31fffff 0xd3a00000-0xd81fffff 0xd8a00000-0xd91fffff 0xd9a00000-0xda1fffff 0xdaa00000-0xdb1fffff 0xdba00000-0xdc1fffff 0xdca00000-0xdd1fffff 0xdda00000-0xde1fffff 0xdea00000-0xdf1fffff 0xdfa00000-0xe01fffff pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 scsi0 : pata_pcmcia ata1: PATA max PIO0 cmd 0x00013100 ctl 0x0001310e bmdma 0x00000000 irq 3 ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA7:PIO5 ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x91) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (INIT_DEV_PARAMS failed, err_mask=0x4) ata1: EH pending after completion, repeating EH (cnt=4) % pccardctl -v ls Socket 0 Bridge: [yenta_cardbus] (bus ID: 0000:02:00.0) Configuration: state: on ready: unknown Voltage: 3.3V Vcc: 3.3V Vpp: 0.0V Socket 0 Device 0: [pata_pcmcia] (bus ID: 0.0) Configuration: state: on Product Name: SanDisk SDP 5/3 0.6 Identification: manf_id: 0x0045 card_id: 0x0401 function: 4 (fixed disk) prod_id(1): "SanDisk" (0x7a954bd9) prod_id(2): "SDP" (0x91844b1c) prod_id(3): "5/3 0.6" (0xaac4295b) prod_id(4): --- (---) Searching the net I found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116613 Thanks for any help or suggestions, John John Magolske 2008-08-17T04:49:55 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1755 Henning, There is no need to generate hypothetical problem scenarios. Why else do you think I sent this font to the list, with special attention on that restriction? Because the font as published will never go into Debian, and the grml list reaches console users who might like it anyway. So, trying to be helpful here. A "thank you" would be nice. If he gets many requests for GPL|BSD|CreativeCommons|SIL licensing, then he might consider it. No more private cc's about Debian license politics; that is why lists exist. With so much free stuff on the web under so many license arrangements, it's debatable what combination minimizes "work". Debian's Firefox debacle comes to mind. He put endless hours of work into something provided free, which deserves thanks. Hat tip to Frugalware news #29 for spotting the font.

You mean another program to read the mails cron sends to you? Are you doing this? % mail If so, you can use about every mail user agent, you want to. Just tell it, where the mailbox is that gets all the mails from cron. Unless you did change the default setup (and it sounds like you didn't), it is likely to be in /var/spool/mail/<username>; which is an mbox type file, that is supported by virtually every MUA out there. If I did not understand your question correctly, rephrase. Regards, Frank Frank Terbeck 2008-08-14T08:50:19 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1753 Hi Is there a way to make cron use a different mail programm, say nail instead of the default mail program. I found various env vars (MAIL, MAILPATH) related to email but none to specify the mail program itself. Thanks for help Peter Peter 2008-08-13T22:32:14 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1752 * Michael Prokop <mika< at >grml.org> [080813 09:16]: Inconsolata is a (rather nice IMO) free monospace font: http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html http://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-inconsolata It's designed more for high-resolution rendering in print rather than screen use (not sure if it has box-drawing symbols). But Fontforge and Spiro sources are available, and the license allows user modification. Is the SIL Open Font License free enough to allow inclusion in GRML? http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=OFL_web John John Magolske 2008-08-13T16:51:37 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1751 Michael Prokop 2008-08-13T08:56:29 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1750 Which is a quite restrictive license.... If GRML would do that work for every little nice thing that is not free as used in the term "free software", it would be a lot of work to track these permissions etc., so I guess it's smart to use only real free stuff... Additionally, it would make redistribution of grml by other people problematic, legally, if only the main grml team gets this special allowance... (just my opinion as non-developer) Henning Henning Sprang 2008-08-13T08:21:44 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1749 http://damieng.com/blog/tag/envy-code-r "Free to use but redistribution prohibited." So, you have to download it yourself, or grml must try to get special permission (which would be very nice). Mark 2008-08-12T23:48:05 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1748 A combined 32/64 grml CD would be nice, like http://www.finnix.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/finnix_dev_boot_menu1.png This distro is equivalent to grml-small or grml-medium. I use it for PowerPC admin (32 and 64). Grml CD has previously included two versions of Python, for example. Size-wise, two kernels is not a big deal. Mark 2008-08-12T23:46:16 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/1747 I recently switched from wired to wireless networking on my 2.6.23-grml hard disk system. I configured wireless while the wired networking card was still in my laptop and connected. I'm sure I had wireless working because I set the cable modem on my ethernet port offline. Now I've removed my wired networking equipment and GRML doesn't configure wireless networking. After a "modprobe bcm43xx" and "ifup eth1" the syslog records: Microcode bcm43xx_microcode4.fw not available or load failed That file is still in /lib/firmware, and its date predates the removal of my wired networking hardware. "grml-network" doesn't see eth1, but "iwconfig" does. I'm guessing that GRML loaded additional code at boot when it found a wired ethernet connection.

The installation went fine and I set up a nice lightweight system using wmii as a windowmanage -- grml sems to be the ideal solution for a rather slow mini computer! One problem remains: I can't get the sound started. While there seems to be no problem configuring Alsa with alsaconfig, alsamixer gives me: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument and amixer says: amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument Now, I've googled the problem and read that this can happen due to incompatible versions of the kernel and alsa. But that's impossible in this case, since on other computers, grml works out of the box . The sound card is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) Does anyone in the list have a clue? And is there anybody else using rml on an eee-pc?

Bits from the Debian Eee PC team Ben Armstrong [26]reported on the current activities of the [27]Debian Eee PC team: Debian's next release Lenny will work with all of the earliest models of the Eee PC and the Eee PC team hopes to soon realize its goal of a completely DFSG free system for the earliest models of the Eee Pc. Newer models are now able to install using the atl1e ethernet driver from eeepc.debian.net; support for wireless and other aspects of the new hardware will follow soon. The wireless custom Debian-installer is also making good progress. There are currently two Debian-live USB images available: a demo of the [28]LXDE desktop (a lightweight desktop environment that is made with the Eee PC in mind) and a minimal console-only image for rescue/backup. The team is also always looking for new members to contribute to Debian's support for the Eee Pc. 26: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/08/msg00002.html 27: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC 28: http://lxde.org/ Regards Maurice Maurice McCarthy 2008-08-05T09:32:00 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user
