@Skeer TFTP daemon seems to be running. The second command I had wrong from the top of my head. Run
systemctl status tftpd-hpainstead. Should show it running.Possibly you have a firewall enabled? Run those two commands as root and post output here:
iptables -L -n -v ufw status -
Thanks for the continued help Sabastian.
No, iptables is not configured on this machine:
sudo iptables -L -n -v
[sudo] password for fogadmin:

fogadmin@ssi-fog:~/git/fogproject-dev-branch/bin/error_logs$Admittedly yesterday and previous our DHCP functions were handled at the firewall level. I had thought maybe there was some issue with that and since I’ve been meaning to do this anyway… last night I moved those functions to my domain controller (Server 2016). So the DHCP Options are configures correctly except a test PXE boot on a laptop behind me failed. It’s an HP so I didn’t get much feedback so I’m not sure the exact cause at this time.

Am I correct in assuming that I should be able to see port 69 open via NMAP?
-
@Skeer On the fog server if you run
netstat -an|grep :69
it should reply with a line that looks like this:udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:*I’m not familiar with ubuntu 19, but I would check in the /etc directory to see if there are files like hosts.allow and hosts.deny. The service name in.tftp kind of tells me they use the security wrapper around tftp to state who can connect to that service.

Ah I do see the port listed this way… a vanilla ‘netstat | less’ did not show :69 anywhere. Hence my confusion.
Ok so I was able to successfully PXE boot to a KVM guest, just not on a physical one yet.
So I know FOG works which is great!
Now I need to explore the settings and figure out how to successfully pull an image. Thanks for the help!
-
Well this is disappointing. So due to an unrelated issue I decided to flatten this guest and build anew. I figured it’d be good since now I know the right version to use.
So flattened, new 19.10 install and the Apache service is still an issue. Even with installing the dev branch.
Manually installed php7.3, apache2, libmodule-apache, etc… not a thing I do now alleviates the failed to restart web services error. -

There shouldn’t be a need to manually install any packages. The installer should handle all that. We need more information on what exactly you’ve done and the error message you got to be able to help.
-
@Sebastian-Roth Oh it’s exactly as described and exactly what happened the first go-round.
Since it’s in a failed state… let me do this. I’ll re-re-flatten the guest and start over. Fresh 19.10 install, ‘apt update/upgrade’ then I’ll run the fog installer from the dev-branch and see what happens. -

Please use snapshots which are a perfect tool for those kind of tests. No need to reinstall from scratch all the time.
-
@Skeer I just did a clean install on Ubuntu 19.10 using
dev-branchand it worked perfectly fine. Haven’t done extensive testing beyond that but I would imagine it to capture and deploy images fine too. -
@Sebastian-Roth Keep forgetting about Snapshots… thats what I get for being in a hurry.
Ok so I’ve got an updated OS and following the steps here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_FOG I’ve pulled the dev-branch. So I should be good for the install script yes? (I’m not super experienced with git so I’m not feeling positive I actually have the full dev-branch source)
-
@Skeer On the right track with the stuff you find in the wiki. The important command after cloning (downloading) the FOG repo is to switch to the dev-branch:
git checkout dev-branchBy the way. If you want to wait a few more hours, FOG 1.5.8 will be out.
-
I did checkout the dev-branch… but yeah sure I’ll be your huckleberry… err guinea pig.

@Skeer FOG 1.5.8 is out now: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/tag/1.5.8
-
Thanks Sebastian, I’m trying it out today.
-
Reporting back… latest versions works like a champ!
