Package Repository

Packages provided by the Grml team are available from the Grml repository.

Note that using the Grml repository on standard Debian systems is not recommended. If you just want our console configuration, read "Make console work comfortable".

If you are running Debian trixie or later, use grml-keyring from Debian:

$ apt install grml-keyring
$ ln -s /usr/share/grml-keyring/grml.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
$ cat <<EOT >/etc/apt/preferences.d/grml.pref
Package: *
Pin: release a=grml-stable
Pin-Priority: 100

Package: *
Pin: release a=grml-testing
Pin-Priority: 100
EOT

Instructions for Debian bullseye and bookworm:

Put the following snippet into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.sources:

Types: deb deb-src
URIs: http://deb.grml.org/
Suites: grml-stable grml-testing
Architectures: i386 amd64 arm64
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/grml-archive-keyring.pgp

Then the following preferences file will keep packages from Grml to replace normal Debian packages, in /etc/apt/preferences.d/grml.pref:

Package: *
Pin: release a=grml-stable
Pin-Priority: 100

Package: *
Pin: release a=grml-testing
Pin-Priority: 100

Also note that you may have trouble installing the grml-debian-keyring package as APT will complain about the missing key. A workaround is to download it directly:

sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/grml-archive-keyring.pgp https://deb.grml.org/repo-key.pgp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grml-debian-keyring

Wallpapers and other media files provided by Grml

Wallpapers, CD covers and similar media files are available in the mediakit repository.
