      Hi thanks for pointing,
      I forgot one command in the tutorial: apt-get update now it’s included in the tutorial.
      In the mean time just in case if you don’t read this comment I also posted the command on forums.debian.net.

      Best

    Hello after adding your sources to mine and installing grsec on debian via apt-get i went to reboot and picked grsec for some reason when it goes to boot into gdm it doesn’t display anything it just shows the background wallpaper

      Hi, it might be some module in the kernel missing which you use for your graphic adapter check if all your modules with the normal kernel are properly loaded.

        I mean make a comparison between the loaded kernel modules with grsec kernel and the other normal kernel you used before.

    Only installing linux-patch-grsecurity2 package onto Squeeze will_not_ work.  Did you test this?
    According to http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/ … 2/filelist, this only installs a patch file, which you should apply against kernel source tree.
    1. Download kernel sources, patch them with this patch and rebuild kernel.
    2. After rebooting with grsecurity-enabled kernel "uname -r" will show kernel version with appended "-grsec".

      Hi simon,

      Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to test it with Debian Squeeze. I’ve heard that it will be not working with Squeeze from debian mailing lists also.

      best!

    I couldn't install it on last week's wheezy testing branch.
    Am trying on this week's testing branch as soon I finish downloading.
    Any new experience there?
    Been trying hard and just can't make it:…
