||
| <h3>About</h3> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Grml is a Debian based live system focusing on the needs of system administrators. | ||
| This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing (AKA buster). | ||
| As usual it also incorporates up to date hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <h3>Important Changes</h3> | ||
|
|
||
| <ul> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>When using the `ssh` boot option Grml automatically starts haveged, an userspace entropy daemon which | ||
| uses HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion). | ||
| If you should notice a slow boot and want to force the startup of the haveged service (independent of usage of ssh boot option) | ||
| you can start the service via boot option `services=haveged`. | ||
| See e.g. <a href="https://daniel-lange.com/archives/152-Openssh-taking-minutes-to-become-available,-booting-takes-half-an-hour-...-because-your-server-waits-for-a-few-bytes-of-randomness.html">Openssh | ||
| taking minutes to become available [...]</a> for further information. | ||
|
|
||
| <li>The cpufrequtils package with its loadcpufreq handling has been dropped. The cpufreq drivers are autoloaded and the powersave/ondemand driver is mature enough. The linux-cpupower tools provide the binaries as replacement for what cpufrequtils provided so far. | ||
|
|
||
| <li>If you're using Debian/stretch or newer and use the Grml repository on any of your systems, starting with version grml-debian-keyring (2018.06.02) of the grml-archive-keyring package you can use a | ||
| /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.sources setup like: | ||
|
|
||
| <pre> | ||
|
|
||
| Types: deb deb-src | ||
| URIs: http://deb.grml.org/ | ||
| Suites: grml-stable grml-testing | ||
| Architectures: i386 amd64 | ||
| Components: main | ||
| Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/grml-archive-keyring.gpg | ||
|
|
||
| </pre> | ||
|
|
||
| or you prefer the common sources.list setup you can use a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list like: | ||
|
|
||
| <pre> | ||
|
|
||
| deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/grml-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.grml.org/ grml-stable main | ||
| deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/grml-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.grml.org/ grml-testing main | ||
|
|
||
| </pre> | ||
|
|
||
| <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/UseThirdParty">https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/UseThirdParty</a> provides more general documentation about this setup. | ||
|
|
||
| </ul> | ||
